Last night I figured out how to properly include Danfoss LC-13 thermostats with OpenHAB 2.2.
- Make sure you do have living connect Z thermostats. The one without the Z will not work properly. (see Danfoss living connect, new proprietary z-wave binding
- Put openHAB in incusion mode for Z-Wave binding.
- Press middle button of thermostat.
- Thermostat display will blink quickly for 10 to 25 seconds depending how good the connection is.
- Thermostat display will blink slowly for about 5 seconds.
- You should now see either “Node nn” or “Z-Wave Node nn” in the inbox.
- Add the device to openHAB
- Press middle button of thermostat again.
- Thermostat display will blink quickly for some seconds.
- Wait until blinking stops and repeat step 9 until no blinking will occur anymore. If blinking does not stop after some tries, the thermostat is too far away from the controller.
- The thing is now correctly included in the Z-Wave network.
- The antenna symbol in the thermostat display should go away within a couple of seconds.
- openHAB should now show something like “Z-Wave Node nn Danfoss LC-13 Thermostat”
- If you don’t see “LC-13 Thermostat” on the node, delete the node and search again. Now it should be included correctly in openHAB.
I hope that helps anyone struggling to include Danfoss LC-13 thermostats.
