Wifi / RF Wallthermostate

---

Hi,

I’m currently planning to get my floor heating controlled by pimatic via a selfmade or cheap wall thermostate.

I wanted to add RF switches to my actuators which can get switched by pimatic.

Are there any ready to use solutions for the thermostate?

@Partovic I have cheap 433 Mhz Thermometers which work very well for me (I am using pimatic-homeduino). Batteries last for several months.

Anything using Wifi will draw much more power. If you can power the device via a power adapter, an ESP-8266 with SI-7020 using ESPeasy may be an interesting option. On the pimatic side, pimatic-mqtt is used in this case.

@mwittig Thanks! That looks like a good start! Which device do you use for it in pimatic?

I think I’ll go with the battery solution!

I ordered two for testing will give you feedback!

maybe it’s time to get a touch capable wall mounted device to controll all my pimatic stuff.

just for the WAF, you know

As part of pimatic-homeduino I am using the following setup:

{
      "id": "temp2",
      "name": "Außentemperatur 2",
      "class": "HomeduinoRFWeatherStation",
      "protocols": [
        {
          "name": "weather1",
          "options": {
            "id": 35,
            "channel": 1
          }
        }
      ],
      "values": [
        "temperature",
        "humidity"
      ]
    },

@mwittig great! thank you!

hi, I’m back again!

my thermometers just arrived and I’ve added them for testing.
It works on the fly, but there is one issue (maybe it’s not, I just don’t know what to do).

@mwittig: The values pimatic is receiving are negative for the temperature. I’ll better grab my winterjacket to brace myself (winter is coming). In deed the room temperature is 25 degrees. Pimatic says: -25 degrees. Not a big deal for me. Do I have to setup something to get it display the correct value?

EDIT: I’ve tried both protocols weather1 and weather16

Ok. Forget that. After a second and third look in the debug messages I’ve noticed that there were to different id’s for the device. the second one delivers the positive values!

Thank you for your buy advice!

Great, it is working fine for you now!

You’re welcome
