the Devolo Home Control radiators have a built in scheduler. How can I set up HA to push pre-configured schedules to these devices (e.g ‘Holiday’, ‘Home Office Week’, ‘Default week’). I’m just getting started with HA and if somebody has a setup like this I’d love to see some configuration examples.
I own the Danfoss thermostats myself.
I’m pretty sure that you can do that kind of stuff only with the Devolo/Danfoss zwave controller.
I haven’t even been able to set the right day/time in those thermostats.
I’m controlling my thermostats via groups of sliders (morning/day/evening/night) and switches (weekend/weekday, venting etc.) with automations attached to them.
After a little digging I now know that the required command classes are COMMAND_CLASS_CLOCK to read/set the internal clock and COMMAND_CLASS_CLIMATE_CONTROL_SCHEDULE for the schedule. I can see the classes in the zwcfg…xml. Setting these values seems to be possible from fhem [1].
With ozwcp I’m able to set the clock, but the schedule leaves me stumped…
How did you set the clock?
When I got the thermostats, I tried with ozwcp and domoticz - both show the weekday and clock settings, but when I change and “save” them, they don’t seem to stick.
Is there a trick or does it just not work with the Danfoss version (like your link suggests)?
You’re right - It seems to be possible to set the schedule from fhem.
If I understand it correctly, fhem uses its own, Perl-based, zwave implementation?
Maybe we just need to wait until this feature is implemented in openzwave…
Well, at least someone is working on it…
To me, it’s not a big deal that I can’t set the clock, because the correct time would only be needed for the schedule feature.
The thermostats do a weekly(?) self-calibration run (opening the valve completely and returning to the previous state) at a specific day/hour, but I don’t care when exactly this happens.
