By my opinion (i'm not sure at 100%) W-bus should be at higher priority than CAN-bus for testing purposes via WTT.

It's quite simple...
By the car being awake I believe you mean activity on the CAN bus.
The proposed solution works just like Webasto Thermo Test (WTT) program.
If you have CAN bus activity on the bus and in the same time you can start and run the webasto with the WTT program, then this implementation will work. If not, no.

Another approach to the problem could be implemented directly on the CAN bus and not on the W bus.
You send over CAN bus, at TTV's CAN ID, the call routine command with the parameter:
- 0x2020 for "Start park heating"
- 0x2021 or 0x9013 (depending on MY year) for "Operation check"
The last one works on Disco3/4, the first one being true on Freelander.
Again it all depends a great deal on the TTV's firmware.

With ignition switched on controller starts FBH without any problems. As Alex said - seems there play TTV firmware differences.

Well, for what it's worth, I don't think it will work on my own D3 when the car is awake but I'm sure you guys will think of something. Wink

Alex,

Could it be that you are using the Webasto Thermotest address while the 1533 timer uses the 1533 address?

/*
* W-Bus addresses_
* 0xf : thermo Test Software
* 0x4 : heating device
* 0x3 : 1533 Timer
* 0x2 : Telestart
*/

Maybe the heating device gives preference to the thermo test software but not to 1533 and telestart when CAN BUS is active?

That is the exact reason, different addresses.

I can confirm my 1533 does not work if i have just activated the lights with the LR remote and the car is awake.

But i can start it with the test software any time, asleep or not.

Indeed, it's possible...
Who knows how are these devices programmed to react. Very Happy
As I've said, I've tried to emulate as close as possible the WTT software so I've used the WTT address in my firmware, not 1533's.

So the mystery is now solved.... Laughing
Using in my firmware the WTT address is the reason why it still works with the car being awake.
And I hope that you guys, fellow enthusiasts, to enjoy this piece of kit and to improve it as much as possible. Thumbs Up

Now it remains only to improve the engine start behavior after FBH stop.
I've suggested to VMatas, that's developing now his own firmware, to keep the circulation pump active after FBH stop another, say, 5 minutes in order to equalize much quicker the water - engine block temperature for the engine ECT to read an as much close as possible engine block temperature.

discostick has draw my attention to the fact that under the newer versions of the HiTech compiler there are some differences and therefore the code wont compile as it should.
So I've updated the sources in order to work with all HiTech compiler's types/versions.
Thanks!

Could you please tell me/us to what do you refer exactly?
The original post? The discussion about FBH's starting when the car's awake? The compiler?
