Thermostat + window sensor?
Posted: 19 Dec 2016 00:25
Hello everyone,
I bought myself some thermostats (one from Danfoss and one Eurotronic Comet Z) and door/window sensors (one from Fibaro and one from Philio), but I can't get them to work "properly" together and I wonder if I do something wrong.
For the Danfoss it didn't work for me at all, all you can do is use ThermostatSetPoint to set a specific target temperature. You can set it to something like 6°C, which is pretty cold and more or less equal to turning it off, but you can't return to the previously set temperature after you closed the window. (Unless you create a logic to store the previously set value to a variable or something).
With the Eurotronic Comet Z that's a little better, as you have the commandClass ThermostatSetMode, which eables you to turn the thermostat off and on without changing the temperature it's set to.
But in both cases I have the problem, that the thermostat would only go off the next time it wakes up - which is every 10 minutes is my setup. That means, the radiator will keep heating for up to 10 minutes if I open the window, that is way to slow.
I read somewhere that it only takes about 10 - 15 seconds between opening the windows and the thermostat reacting, which would be quite OK, but I don't see a way to archive this. The comment was about the devolo system, not z-way, but both systems use z-wave. If it works with one, it should be possible to get it working with the other as well.
Does someone know if there is a way any z-wave thermostat to react on the window opening in less than one minute? (with z-way)
Thank you!
EDIT: I'm using z-way v2.2.4 with RaZberry
