NewUser - needs some advice what to purchase next

[blueznl]

In the end I just ordered a CCU3... It's here on my desk, still have to power it up

I've found a German colleague that can order parts needed and ship to me now I'm bit confused on which module to order:

the old module HM-MOD-RPI-PCB is out of stock and I was wondering if the USB stick version is 100% compatible with Raspberrymatic or I must order the new big RPI-RF-MOD; can someone help me to decide? USB is cleaner as I can use a normal Raspberry case while the big board will force me to buy a suitable case or 3D print one....

One or more of the following devices possible for RaspberryMatic:
HomeMatic َ+ homematicIP protocol:
GPIO Radio Module HAT – RPI-RF-MOD
GPIO Radio Module HAT – HM-MOD-RPI-PCB
USB Radio Module Adapter PCB – HB-RF-USB (own build USB Stick)

homematicIP protocol only:
USB Stick – HmIP-RFUSB

HomeMatic protocol only:
LAN Gateway – HM-LGW-O-TW-W-EU
USB Stick – HM-CFG-USB-2

Thanks tomi_cc16, as my system is only HmIP and I have no plan to add other protocol al lof the above shoudl work.
Then I would rather go and purchase the USB stick (HmIP-RFUSB) as I wrote will allow me to use the Raspberry case I have already...
Can't wait for my colleague to order and then send it to me to start palying with it

Good idea and I guess you could later easily add e.g. the LAN Gateway – HM-LGW-O-TW-W-EU to also control HM protocol.

In Amazon Italy for 27€

good idea! noted down in the event I will be in need to add HM protocol at later stage...

[tomi_cc16]

add HM protocol at later stage...

Could make sense because some of the "older" HM devices are not yet available as HmIP devices - lets see what new HmIP devices the April Roadshow in Kassel will bring.

update:

I enabled HomematicIP services in my Home Assistant setup, while at first look it seems to work I've to say I'm disappointed by the update of the valve status. Values showed by Home Assistant are not reliable:
- I've valves that reported 0% whole day (so they should have been closed) but in reality they were opened as the relevant radiator was "hot"
- Even when valve closes the value reported in Home Assistant is still there for even up to 2hours

HeatingThermostat.valveActualTemperature = with the latest Cloud/App Update from 21.02.2019 for Homematic IP Access Point it’s possible now to read the measured temperature on the VALVE of the Heating Thermostats

Hope it will also be soon part in Home Assistant Update

One important information for all RaspberryMatic Users, HmIP WIRED is only possible with a RPI-RF-MOD !!!

Great news but even after the update of the APP I cannot see the reading.... Is it somethign that needs as well a firmware update on the actuators?

Just a general information some of the new HmIP App functionalties can be seen in the videos released yesterday (its in German but you will get it):
