Rinnai Control-R for Home Assistant

Support for Rinnai Control-R Water Heater monitoring and control device for Home Assistant.

KNOWN ISSUES

Rinnai currently has a known bug that will cause recirculation to only run for 5 minutes.
OFFICIAL RESPONSE

Thank you for contacting Rinnai.

If you are referring to the on demand timers listed in the Control-R 2.0 app, then yes, that is a known issue and I apologize for the inconvenience. I have been told that there's a large update planned for the app and these should issues should be addressed. For now, if you need the unit to run longer than 5 minutes, I would suggest creating a schedule, even if it's just for a short period like an hour.

If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us again.
