Hi all,
We’ve got a Spirit Z-Wave Plus Raditor Thermostat together with OpenHAB2 and Z-Wave plugin and trying to use an external temperature sensor.
In the documentation I could find an information, that this is possible:
Spirit Z-Wave Plus can receive temperature readings from other Z-Wave devices (wall thermostat for example)
The external temperature can be used for temperature regulation.
This feature has to be enabled via configuration parameter. The Spirit Z-Wave Plus can handle Multilevel Sensor Reports in the following format:Report outgoing:
Sensor type: „Air Temperature“
Scale: Celsius
Precision: 2Report incoming:
Sensor type: „Air Temperature“
Scale: Celsius and Fahrenheit
Precision: 0, 1 and 2
It is this device: http://www.cd-jackson.com/index.php/zwave/zwave-device-database/zwave-device-list/devicesummary/710
And here is the documentation: http://www.cd-jackson.com/zwave_device_uploads/710/Spirit-Z-Wave-BAL-web-EN-view-04.pdf
I updated the temperature offset to 128, this is the value that must be set to use an external sensor.
But what we don’t know: How can we send an own temperature to this device? I tried sending a temperature to the item registered to the sensor_temperature channel that we could use to get the measured temperature.
Unfortunately this doesn’t work.
In the HABmin GUI I can’t see any other channel that could fit …
So according to the documentation I need to send a SENSOR_MULTILEVEL_REPORT to this device - but how?
Thanks for your support and best regards,
Christian
