Update current temperature for Z-Wave thermostats

Am I completely on the wrong track? Is python not the way forward and only the method with AppDaemon 4? I saw I had to install AppDaemon 4 as well when using your add-on from HACS, that’s why I have chosen to go for the python way as explained in this thread. I thought it would be easier. But if you say the App Daemon is the only way to go forward, please let me know.

I can see this thread hasn’t been used for a while… should I look somewhere else? is it outdated? I’m looking for a bit more explanation for the installation. I have been searching the whole day, so any help is very welcome.

Thanks in advance!

@Kitser, what did you add to the configuration.yaml? (besides adding “python_script:” to enable HA for python)

I’m using python script and added the code to the automation.yaml and edited it to my temperature/sensors. I can see the Python script is being triggered as the last date/time is set, I cannot find a log (logger set to default: info)

I can see the script is reading the correct temperature but not setting it.

Could it have something to do with the naming of my entities? I see in this thread with python it shouldn’t matter…

climate.schlafen_rechts_heating_mode_com_600
sensor.schlafen_rechts_temperature_605

Your automation should looks like this:

- id: update_thermostats
  alias: 'Update Thermostats'
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id:
      - climate.schlafen_rechts_heating_mode_com_600
      - sensor.schlafen_rechts_temperature_605
  condition:
    condition: template
    value_template: >-
      {% if "climate" in trigger.entity_id and trigger.to_state.attributes.current_temperature == none %}
         true
      {% elif "sensor" in trigger.entity_id %}
         true
      {% else %}
         false
      {% endif %}
  action:
    service: python_script.thermostat_update
    data_template:
      heat_state: 'auto'
      idle_state: 'idle'
      idle_heat_temp: 10
      thermostat: 'climate.schlafen_rechts_heating_mode_com_600'
      sensor: 'sensor.schlafen_rechts_temperature_605'

Thank Bieniu, I think I have another fundamental problem and it’s more because of integration of Fibaro with Heltun into HA.

I found out the following. If I look at Fibaro I can see the following:

You see several components of one Heltun thermostat (like the temperature of 12,8 C, the heating mode and heating mode temperature. I have it squared in red.

What I found out is the following. When setting the heating mode (rectangle at the right), like the following:

it changes the status in the Lovelace. However when setting the temperature to 18 C (rectangle on left side), it doesn’t change the set temperature in the Lovelace (it stays 15).

I must conclude the integration is causing the issue…
This is mainly because of Fibaro I guess.
It seems that the entity_id climate.schlafen_rechts_heating_mode_com_600 isn’t representing the rectangle on the left, but the rectangle on the right only. So, the current+set temperature aren’t attached to the Lovelace widget at all.

But the funny thing is, the right rectangle should have the entity_id name something like climate.schlafen_rechts_thermostat_mode_606 (according to Fibaro) and this entity_id cannot be found at all in my configuration (but although it influences the climate.schlafen_rechts_heating_mode_com_600 somehow)… hmmm

I first need to find out why the individual Heltun items aren’t integrated automatically into HA.

The fact I have to cope with, is that one Heltun thermostat with several functions are split into Fibaro as separate items like brightness, humidity, temperature, thermostat mode and set temperature. I have got even more functions, but which I hide in Fibaro and luckily didn’t integrate into HA. An example is “Dry Air”, which I can set separately the temperature. So different from the “Heating Mode COM” (from common).

@Bieniu

I have further researched my issue.
Your automation works for me now (partially), however I still don’t have it working completely. Basically, it’s an issue between Fibaro and HA integration. I’m quite sure and I have documented this issue here:

Let’s wait for any reply. If nobody can help, I think I need to report at Github. Do you agree after reading the new thread?

Thx.

Hi,
I am a new user and trying to connect my danfoss devices to HA. I have a thermostat (014g0013) and a temperature sensor (Danfoss Icon 088U1081) . I installed Z-Wave stick and used Z-Wave-JS and Z-Wave to MQTT. I can connect to these devices, but they are not recognized. My HA does not read anything from these devices. Can you help me ?

I have:
Z-Wave JS to MQTT Current version: 0.37.0,
HA 2022.3.7

Is it possible to integrate with danfoss in this version? If so, what do I have to do step by step?
