btw.: the thermostat is dimming from 4-28

More Z-Wave devices
-
today I installed my Thermostats. The work so far, defined as “dimmer” like @leopoldkoenig said.
@Clark2309 did you make any progress using eco/comfy and the -/<temp>/+ of the dummyheatingdevice? -
Hi @Developer,
I am not able to understand the functionality of the architecture of pimatic in detail.
I need some help. I can tell you how you can handle z-way device but I can not develop the first step of the device.
I think, all development is already done in the other z-way devices.Here is what to to:
- the temperature can be displayed with the actual implementation. It is a copy the temperature sensor.
- to change the temperature, a command has to be fired like
return plugin.sendCommand(@virtualDeviceId, "exact?level=#{level}").then( => @_setDimlevel(level)
-> level is the new temperature, this is from the z-way dimmer device - for now it would be nice, if someone can help me with the frontend just as the right part of the dummy heating device )
minus-button, actual temperature, plus-button
If someone can help me or explain it to me it would be very nice. I can also add you to my fork (https://github.com/Clark2309/pimatic-z-way).
Thanks a lot and best regards

i connected a fibaro door/window sensor and included the device in z-way and pimatic.
in z-way the sensor reports “opened” when the window is opened and “closed” when the window is closed.
in pimatic it is inverted. when the window is opened the sensor reports “closed” and when the window is closed it reports “opened”.is there a bug in the pimatic-z-wave plugin?
@MMore any ideas?i do not have a github login to report the bug in github, sorry.
-
@dk00000 you can just set
"inverted" : 1
in your config to swap the state. -
@Clark2309 thanks a lot - i will test it.
anyway it feels as it is a bug with a possible work arround -
It is an option because not all sensors works in the same way.

I’m sill thinking how to use the thermostats with pimatic without the need to edit the code.
I’m trying to use a VariableInputDevice where the variable is the one provided by the zway Dimmer device. But this variable is not a number only value, it contains the percent sign (20% = 20 degrees)While this variable can be defined as string, the VariableInputDevice can only work (control) numbers.
any idea how to convert the “20%” to “20” that has to be done in both ways
-
@Clark2309
it works but:
has to be true or false. log told me: 1 is an invalid boolean value -
got my thermostats to work now!!! I added a description how I achieved it
https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/408/how-to-add-danfoss-lc-13-thermostat-as-device/8 -
I just added a dedicated luminiscence device. Much cleaner.
-
thanks @MMore will try it and give you feedback
-
Did somebody try this with develo systems?
And did this usb stick working with it?

Hi,
I have a Fibaro Motion Sensor (“Eye-Ball”) and have implemented it via Razberry and MMore’s plugin to pimatic. Temperature reading and luminiscence work fine.
Unfortunately, the motion detection does not trigger an event in Pimatic. Motion is detected fine at sensor level (LED blinking) but I have also no clue if the sensor is sending an motion report to the Z-Way controller… Do you have any clue how to successfully bind the Fibaro Motion Sensor into Pimatic. Goal is to trigger instant events after motion was detected.Thanks alot,
ArrowX -
@Swen If you are using a Raspberry I recommend to use the Razberrry Board
@ArrowX class should be: "ZWayMotionSensor"
rule: “if presence of “Motion sensor ID” is equal to present then …”you can configure poling if needed in the z-Way device config
-
@benbeton Hi Benbeton, thank you for the remark. Unfortunately, setting up the rule did not solve the issue. The sensor fails to send the motion report to the z-way controller. It seems that the sensor never wakes up from “deep sleep” to send the motion report, even though it is blinking (signalling that the motion was detected locally).
Can you give some detail about the poling configuration within the z-way device config? -
hi @ArrowX sry for the late reply, to configure polling in z-way
-> Settings -> Apps ->Install App “Periodical Sensor Polling” -> Settings of app -> tick “poll battery powerd Sensors”
-
@benbeton thanks for this hint!
