Pimatic-Max show temperature of the Heating-Valve

---

Today I bought me complete Max system.
I have seen, that the valve sending his measured temperature but it isn’t displayed in pimatic.

Can we implement it with the option to disable?

I got it by my self.

You can use simple the WallThermostat device with the rfadress of the heating-valve. and it shows you the actually measured temperature.

    {
      "id": "whonzimmerthermo1",
      "class": "MaxHeatingThermostat",
      "name": "Wohnzimmer Thermostat 1",
      "rfAddress": "0f883e",
      "comfyTemp": 21,
      "ecoTemp": 16.5
    },
    {
      "id": "tempwohnzimmer1",
      "class": "MaxWallThermostat",
      "name": "Heizkörper Temp 1",
      "rfAddress": "0f883e"
    },

just for your information :
the actual room temps will only be sent by the + components as WallThemostate WT+ or HeatingThermostat+.

I have bought the normal heating-valves and they are sending the actually temperature too.
This device i use.

and this is the debug string

'0f885e': { type: 'Heating Thermostat', address: '0f885e', serial: 'LEQ10043', name: 'Thermostat 1', roomId: 2, comfortTemperature: 21, ecoTemperature: 16.5, maxTemperature: 30.5, minTemperature: 4.5, temperatureOffset: 3.5, windowOpenTemperature: 12, valve: 14, setpoint: 17, initialized: true, fromCmd: false, error: false, valid: true, dstActive: true, gateway_known: true, panelLocked: false, linkError: false, battery: 'ok', mode: 'auto', actualTemperature: 17.5 }, 

you can see at the end is the information

actualTemperature: 17.5

WOW!! That’s new I guess. Maybe you’re having a new firmware version.
My thermostats do not send this information unfortunately. But I got some WT+ now.

That is interesting. Can you show a debug output from you?

for example

{ type: ‘Heating Thermostat’, address: ‘0286b0’, serial: ‘IEQ05018’, name: ‘Heizung Bad OG’, roomId: 1, comfortTemperature: 24, ecoTemperature: 20, maxTemperature: 30.5, minTemperature: 4.5, temperatureOffset: 3.5, windowOpenTemperature: 12, valve: 44, setpoint: 18, initialized: true, fromCmd: false, error: false, valid: true, dstActive: true, gateway_known: true, panelLocked: false, linkError: false, battery: ‘ok’, mode: ‘auto’, actualTemperature: undefined }

i will try something. maybe i can update the firmware of the cube.

The actual temperature is not in every frame send. sometimes i got this undefined string too. but in most frame this value is set.

hm … ok this could be the point. the firmware of the cube is the newest.
nevermind, the WT+ are doing a good work for me.
i think it’s better to measure the room temp not directly at the heating.
i’m having a radiator where the valve is near the floor where it’s usually colder.
there the wt+ is absolutely necessary.

You are right.
I use in every room 2 temperature measure units. One is the heating valve and one is on the other side of the room. This are self made DHT22 RF sensors. For rules i use the middle of both temperatures.

But generally it is interesting to what the heating valve measured. This is the calculation base for the valve position or?
I am new to the Max! system. When i integrate a WT+ to a room is this the reference point?

@Icesory said:

yes, the WT+ takes over the control and measures the room temp. the thermostat at the radiator will then be controlled by the WT+.

This is the calculation base for the valve position or?

good question. maybe @georg90 or @sweetpi will know.
they did a good job with creating the max-plugin.

btw - i found a nice website with some information for the DIY kits.
it’s in German, but even if you don’t understand a word you can see some nice pictures

I have in my living room two heating-valves, two door-contacts and one WT+.
In the other rooms are only one valves.
The temperature is only transmitted from the WT+ and from the heating-valves in the other rooms.
In the room with the WT+, the heating-valves don´t send her temperature.
