Devolo Room Thermostat - new device, new problem

Hi all,

Devolo finally brought his Room Thermostat "Devolo Home Control Raumthermostat" to the german market (see http://www.devolo.com/de/Produkte/devol ... thermostat). It's the Z-Wave version of the Danfoss Link RS.
Inclusion was quiet easy, even though the manual only describes the installation with Devolos gateway. All you have to do ist press the button on top (left side) once.
The Room Thermostat is listed as "Multilevel Sensor (routing)" and only shows the momentary temperature - even so it's possible to set a heat setpoint directly at the device.

Here's the information I get from the device:

Thanks to the possibility to see the Event Log live on the new Indigo Touch App (great work, guys!) I was able to figure out, that Indigo actually receivers the heat setpoint. But after that the Log shows the following error two times:

device "Thermostat Bad" state key setpointHeat not defined (ignoring update request)

Any suggesting what I can do so I can use the heat stepping? Thanks in advance!

Best,
Nico

Hi Nico,

I've added this to our Z-Wave module request list. The event log snippets above should be enough for us to get the model definition added.

Hi Matt,

that's great, thank you very much!

Best,
Nico

Should this device work ok by now? I added the Danfoss LC12, which is working fine, but the Devolo version doesn't (the device does work on HC2). It reports the temperature back to Indigo, but if I try to adjust the setpoint, the log gives an error.

It looks like this one works like the other Danfoss thermostats, so I've set Indigo to use that existing device definition. That change will be in the next bug fix release of Indigo (v6.1.8).

[matt (support)]

Try Indigo v6.1.8 which I just posted. It has a duplicate of the Danfoss device definition for the Devolo model.

Hi Matt,
Just installed latest Indigo 6.1.10, as read that this gave control of Link RS (from 6.1.08). To be clear the device I am using is direct from Danfoss, a DRS21 or Z-wave RS device.

This device seems to have wide capability, but all I am interested in is the usual 3 wall thermostat functions: read current temperature, read current setpoint, set current setpoint.

The device included apparently fine, and puts the following device details into the log:

15 Aug 2016, 09:15:26
Z-Wave Indigo Device "link RS" Z-Wave Properties:

However, whilst it provides temperature measurement, when you change the set point on the device it puts into the log:

Z-Wave received "016 - link RS" status update battery level 100%
Z-Wave received "link RS" sensor update to 23.07 °C
Z-Wave received "link RS" heat setpoint is 22.0 °C
Error device "link RS" state key setpointHeat not defined (ignoring update request)
Error device "link RS" state key setpointHeat not defined (ignoring update request)

This suggests Indigo is receiving the the temperature set point, but then calling an error because there is nowhere to store it. Presumably this means I cannot actually access the value.

In addition, I cannot find a way of writing to the temperature setpoint, and indeed if I read the device states available I get:
Script link RS batteryLevel, batteryLevel.ui, sensorValue, sensorValue.ui

consistent with the ability to read and set the device setpoint ("setpointHeat") not being available.

Is it that these devices are not fully supported, or has my device not properly configured?

Regards,
Geoff

Hi Geoff,

Did you re-sync the device in 6.1.10? If you had already tried to include/sync it in an earlier version of Indigo, then you'll need to wake and re-sync it in 6.1.10 for Indigo to use the new device definition (that defines it to have the heat setpoint state).

Hi Matt,
no this was a brand new device, first connected yesterday after upgrading to 6.1.10. Also, just in case it hadn't synced correctly first time, I had already tried re-syncing it (and tried again this morning for good measure).
Has the device firmware been upgraded? This device offers a big display in a small footprint, so potentially quite useful.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Geoff

Can you copy/paste the Event Log sync for me? I think something is going wrong during it.

And you are still getting the error about setpointHeat state not being defined? Can you dump the entire device to the interactive shell (Plugins->Open Interactive Shell menu item) and copy/paste the Terminal results for me. Something like this should dump it:

print unicode(indigo.devices["016 - link RS"])

Hi Matt,

Yes, the problem still remains. The underlying problem seems to be that the device calls itself a sensor, and yet other devices having a temperature setpoint are called thermostats.

Here are the device properties reported to log
link RS batteryLevel, batteryLevel.ui, sensorValue, sensorValue.ui

This is in comparison to a Secure wall thermostat, which reports the following device properties:
RoomStat Lounge batteryLevel, batteryLevel.ui, setpointHeat, temperatureInput1, temperatureInput1.ui, temperatureInputsAll

I have tried asking for a setpoint change two ways, the first based on other device properties, and the second in response to its error messages and the format used for the Secure device:

METHOD 1
Execute:
heatTemp = 27
indigo.thermostat.setHeatSetpoint("link RS", value=heatTemp)

Log:
Script Error embedded script: device "link RS" class type indigo.sensor is not compatible with request for type indigo.thermostat
Script Error Exception Traceback (most recent call shown last):

embedded script, line 2, at top level
TypeError: device "link RS" class type indigo.sensor is not compatible with request for type indigo.thermostat

METHOD 2
Execute:
heatTemp = 27
indigo.sensor.setHeatSetpoint("link RS", value=heatTemp)

Log:
Script Error embedded script: 'SensorDeviceCmds' object has no attribute 'setHeatSetpoint'
Script Error Exception Traceback (most recent call shown last):

embedded script, line 2, at top level
AttributeError: 'SensorDeviceCmds' object has no attribute 'setHeatSetpoint'


OK, so following your request, I get the output:

Thinking also about getting the "devolo Home Control Heizkörperthermostat" (similar to Danfoss LC13) - but it reports the room temperature. See the screenshot.
Will this eventually work? Did one tried it or submitted the logs?

As I can see with V6.1.8 the "devolo room thermostat" (Danfoss Link RS) is supported.

Hi Geoff,

Okay, that explains it now. Indigo isn't treating it like a thermostat. We'll get that fixed.
