How to add Danfoss LC-13 Thermostat as device?

---

Hi,
I’m a newbie and would appreciate any tipp on how to add a Danfoss Thermostat as device to Pimatic.
I have a Razberry running Pimatic, using several Roller Shutter. In z-way my two Danfoss LC-13 Thermostats work fine but I have no clue how to add them as device in Pimatic.

I tried several entries in config.json but nothing works:

{
      "class": "ZWayThermostat",  //guess this is the missing piece for me
      "id": "thermostat1",
      "name": "Thermostat Bad",
      "virtualDeviceId": "ZWayVDev_zway_6-0-67",
      "interval": 5000    //tried "0" as well 
    }

The roller shutter works fine with:

{
      "class": "ZWaySwitch",
      "id": "SwitchMultilevel4",
      "name": "Rolladen Schlafzimmertür",
      "virtualDeviceId": "ZWayVDev_zway_4-0-38",
      "interval": 0
    },

am wondering if there is an issue with the virtualDeviceId because last 2 digits are different between shutters and thermostats.

Thanks for any hint!

@Sunseeker
The last 2 digits is the zway command class.
38 is multilevelswitch
67… I dont know because i dont use thermostates. May You can have a look at the zway forum.

The plugin don’t support a Thermostat device at the current state.
Look at the device_config_schema file, there you can see all existing devices and configurations.

Eventuell will it help when you open a issue.

Thanks for your replies.
Have to say I expected less problems with the devices as it’s promoted as an open standard I cannot really understand why so much device specific issues occur. Anyway. Switched to Domoticz now where I can include my Thermostats. Not perfect but they work. Will try openHab at the weekend to make my decision but with the bad device support I think Pimatic is out of the game for me - which is a shame because I like the prinzip and plugins

Yes i think it would be very nice if we could use more than 3 device types.
@MMore can you help us?

Hallo
you could add a dummy Thermostat

{
  "class": "DummyHeatingThermostat",
  "id": "sz-thermostat",
  "name": "SZ-Thermostat",
  "comfyTemp": 21,
  "ecoTemp": 17,
  "guiShowModeControl": true,
  "guiShowPresetControl": true,
  "guiShowTemperatueInput": true
},

and set the temperature by rule via the z-wave.me http API

wget http://192.168.2.4:8083/ZWaveAPI/Run/devices[17].instances[0].commandClasses[67].Set\(1,17\)

this devices shows the set temperature
{
“class”: “ZWayPowerSensor”,
“id”: “sz_hzventil”,
“name”: “SZ HZVentil”,
“virtualDeviceId”: “ZWayVDev_zway_17-0-67”,
“interval”: 5
},

now i use these script to set the temperature of the Danfoss LC13

/#!/bin/bash
/#
/# Danfoss set Temperature
/#
/# dependencies: wget bc
/#
/# usage:
/# danfoss-thermostat.sh [deviceid] [temperature]
/#
/
/deviceid=$1
/temperature=$2
/server=“192.168.2.4”
/
/# Danfoss lower limit
/if [ echo "$temperature<4" | bc == 1 ]
/then
/ temperature=“4”
/fi
/
/# Danfoss upper limit
/if [ echo "$temperature>28" | bc == 1 ]
/then
/ temperature=“28”
/fi
/
/wget -q -O /dev/null http://:8083$server/ZWaveAPI/Run/devices[$deviceid].instances[0].commandClasses[67].Set\(1,$temperature\)
/echo “Temperatur: $temperature eingestellt”

with this rule

if $sz-thermostat.temperatureSetpoint changes then execute “/usr/local/bin/danfoss-thermostat.sh 17 $sz-thermostat.temperatureSetpoint”

In the past I used the LC-13 Thermostats as z-wayDimmer Devices After I found this thread I tried to get the script to work, but it won’t So I looked into it with the help of a colleque.
Finally we edited a few things and it works great.

at first, there is the DummyHeatingDevice needed as @schleicheisen postet, here an example:
DummyHeatingDevice

{
      "class": "DummyHeatingThermostat",
      "id": "dummy_thermostat_1",
      "name": "Heizung Wohnzimmer",
      "comfyTemp": 21,
      "ecoTemp": 17,
      "guiShowModeControl": true,
      "guiShowPresetControl": true,
      "guiShowTemperatureInput": true
    },

Then you need the edited script, initially provided be @schleicheisen:

danfoss_thermostat_1.sh
https://gist.github.com/benbeton/78f993f8364d78dfd417

and a sample rule t set the temperature:
! where 8 is the z-way device ID ! <- has to be changed

"if $dummy_thermostat_1.temperatureSetpoint changes then execute \"/home/pi/scripts/danfoss_thermostat_1.sh 8 $dummy_thermostat_1.temperatureSetpoint\"",

even boost is working with a rule

"if mode of dummy_thermostat_1 equals boost then execute \"/home/pi/scripts/danfoss_thermostat_1.sh 8 28\" and after 20 minutes execute \"/home/pi/scripts/danfoss_thermostat_1.sh 8 $dummy_thermostat_3.temperatureSetpoint\" and after 2 minutes set mode of dummy_thermostat_3 to \"auto\"",

to control the set temperature you can add another device:

  {
      "class": "ZWayPowerSensor",
      "id": "set_temp_dummy_thermostat_1",
      "name": "Ziel Temp Wohnzimmer",
      "virtualDeviceId": "ZWayVDev_zway_8-0-67-1",
      "interval": 5
    }

done, now you have a working z-way thermostat

There are some informations missing i thing due forums software update? I have some blank code lines.

I want to add now my heater thermostat’s into pimatic. There are different solutions. I like the last one I think, but there are some informations missing.

How send the dummy device send the commands to sh script? Where i must put this sh script on my rasp? Which folder?

Thanks for answering!

Thx for the Info. I re-formated the above post. Should be ok now.

Hi everyone…i am new user here. In the past I used the LC-13 Thermostats as z-wayDimmer Devices After I found this thread I tried to get the script to work, but it won’t So I looked into it with the help of a colleague.Finally we edited a few things and it works great.

printed circuit board assembly

any question there or have you just copied my text above?

I understand now how to use the dummy switch, that was not clear before.

Your Github Code can’t work. I get 401 error.

I wrote my own script. Someone at git told me that first a connection must be established as localuser thereafter you can execute something. So i write my own script with user verification:

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php

//setup here//

$ip = "192.168.179.65";
$port = "8083";
$user= "username";
$pass = "password";

//// nothing to do here
$error = 0;
//var_dump($argv);
if(!empty($argv[1]) && is_numeric($argv[1])){
        $devid = $argv[1];
}else{
   $error = 1;
}

if(!empty($argv[2]) && is_numeric($argv[2]) && $argv[2] >= 5 && $argv[2] <= 28){
        $temp = $argv[2];
}else{
        $error = 1;
}

if($error == 1){
        echo "Too less arguments or numbers. Temperature must set between 5 and 28.\n";
        die;
}

$url = "http://".$ip.":".$port."/ZWaveAPI/Run/devices[".$devid."].instances[0].commandClasses[67].Set(1,".$temp.")";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user.":".$pass);
$out = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

if($out == "null"){
        echo "Temperature on Device ".$devid." set to ".$temp."\n";
}else{
        echo "Error: ".$out;
        die;
}

?>

make script exec and yourscript.php deviceid temp
