You can also have a look at the data point docs. I already had a short glimpse. Probably you need the advanced API for this (the app does not care).
If there is a new api data point, we would need to extend the library first, but actually there is no traffic on the repository the last 8 months. I'm trying to establish a new fork were we can continue the improvement.

I did not find something that looks promising. You did?

I would appreciate that, we have the same issue with the cooling consumption I guess. Plus, there are several datas points labeled with "basic" that should be included / look promising for integration, such as viewing and setting schedule for hot water and heating, top/bottom temperatures of hot water and heating buffer, schedule and trigger for hygienic mode against legionella, status of heating boiler (today we have only temperature and compressor phase, but compressor running could mean hot water, heating or cooling) etc.

If I can help let me know.
Maybe at least with identifying and explicitly naming the data points that could be included - once you know how to fork or include the library
