Danfoss LC-13 won't work

Setup, Configuration and Use Runtime

Last night I figured out how to properly include Danfoss LC-13 thermostats with OpenHAB 2.2.

  1. 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
  2. Put openHAB in incusion mode for Z-Wave binding.
  3. Press middle button of thermostat.
  4. Thermostat display will blink quickly for 10 to 25 seconds depending how good the connection is.
  5. Thermostat display will blink slowly for about 5 seconds.
  6. You should now see either “Node nn” or “Z-Wave Node nn” in the inbox.
  7. Add the device to openHAB
  8. Press middle button of thermostat again.
  9. Thermostat display will blink quickly for some seconds.
  10. 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.
  11. 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”
  1. 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.
