Indigo Domotics

Great looking plugin.. however it doesn't look like it supports the heating controls.. is that something that can be done/planned for the future? I invested in the Tado system last year but its been a bit of a let down.. its HomeKit support is flakey and no indigo integration (don't worry C4W not having a go!!) so I'm considering flogging it all and getting Netatmo's system instead.

The only reason it doesn't support the heating controls is that I don't have any to develop with! I'm a Heatmiser man myself (see another of my plugins) but I'd be happy to add Netatmo heating controls support if someone would like to lend me some kit for a while.

Durosity you need Heatmiser. Has native Homekit with their latest hub but also great indigo connectivity.
Also supports all types of heating, hot water, rads as well as wet and electric ufh and electric timers for towel rails.
Plus it's the cheapest smart system I saw when I was looking at options

Hmm I was looking at the Heatmiser system but I couldn’t see any TRVs for individual radiator control.. only something that seemed to be for central control.. or am I missing something?

I’ve asked Netamo a couple of technical questions about my system.. if it looks like it may be viable I’d be happy to loan the equipment for a while

True, they don't do wireless TRVs, although do so mains ones. I'm using 7 Spirit zwave TRVs with autolog's plugin which controls the rads via 2 Heatmiser thermostats. My other 12 Heatmiser stats do the floors and towel rails.

Yes Simon - your setup was great for stress-testing my Heatmiser plugin!

Yeah that’s the problem.. unfortunately where most of the radiators aren’t located next to easily accessible power sources. If they did I’d be on them like a shot!

Also I’m excited by the fact Netatmo have announced a HomeKit compatible doorbell!

I'm now stress testing autolog, I mean pushing his plugin to the limit
Together you guys have given me amazing control of my heating.
Spirits are currently £40 on Amazon.

Although user of zwave TRVs and indigo for schedules goes against all my initial set up requirements, that all critical systems work without my Mac running. Although guess I can swap out the TRVs and go back to Heatmiser schedules if the Mac goes down in under 10 minutes

yeah I used to have loads of Stella-Zs and autologs wonderful plugin for them but the problem was if the server failed or something just didn't work as planned the house would be cold and it takes a long time to warm up, so I wanted to have a system that was fully independent of Indigo but also still controllable via it for all my triggers and schedules and what not. I'd rather not go back to that kinda setup :/

That we my original thinking too, but somehow I got seduced by the extra control! I have no idea why Heatmiser haven't brought out a wireless TRV yet.

It seems like a logical next step for them.. I don’t get why they haven’t! It’s not like it’s an uncommon situation!

I think you were right in the first part of the sentence.

I’ve ordered a controller and a couple of TRVs to have a play with on my system first and then assuming it works correctly I’m more than happy to send them to you for a while!

Fine. I’ll get my coding trousers on
