It checks the current temperature and only recharges if it is out of setpoint range (setpoint-hysteresis). If dhw is set to automatic recharge, it will never work, only in dhw eco mode and low dhw storage temperature. For just recharging you have to use the thermostat charge function. That sets the dhw setpoint temporary to a higher value,so the boiler triggers a recharge, and then back to old setpoint. + ## Retrieve data via REST using PHP _(by @flohse123)_
