Hi All, I’ve bought a Drayton Wiser smart thermostat and have started looking at the API calls the application makes to create a new binding for openhab. This is my first binding and I’ve not coded in Java for some time. The first call is a get request to the thermostat, which returns JSON. My fi…

Here’s my things: { controller controller room livingroom [roomName="living room"] room bathroom [roomName="bathroom"] room bedroom [roomName="bedroom"] room spareroom [roomName="spare room…

Thanks so much - that’s brilliant - got some data coming through now :slight_smile:

Another quick question - should we be able to change the setpoint from this binding? I can set a new value, but it doesn’t seem to get sent to the hub. The next time it refreshes it goes back to the original value. Does a rule need to be setup or something similar that I’ve missed? Thanks for readi…

Yep, the setpoint should work, unless you’re really unlucky with the refresh interval and it gets the current setpoint from the thermostat as you set the temperature

Thanks Rob - I’ll keep digging to see what’s wrong then. I’m also working on a HabPanel widget for the rooms. I couldn’t find one already to I’ll add one if there’s not one already.

Hello all, I was looking through this thread. Very cool. I am curious about how close this Wiser binding is to being an official binding (and what’s missing or not stable yet)? I don’t run openhab yet, but this binding might make me jump the fence one day :slight_smile: Cheers!

The pull request to merge it into mainline openhab is in progress. There are some potential changes that will need to be made before it gets accepted, and the openhab developers are very busy, so it takes quite a while to get a new plugin accepted.

I’m totally new to OpenHab and had this up and running within a couple of hours. The binding is super stable and totally usable. Really great work :-). If you do go ahead check out the HabPabel widget I submitted a couple of weeks back from room control.

Thanks guys - much coolness! On a nondev note, how noisy do you find the TRVs? Ok in bedrooms? Paranoid the wife and son will never sleep uninterrupted again…

Okay - I’ve added a HabPanel widget. It relies on certain Item name conventions (based on PaperUI defaults) to make the widget only need one item in config - the room.

Totally open to changing this to multiple config items if the community feels this is the best approach.
