[solved] [max] setting 'set_temp' does not do anything. i can read its value though

I’m running OpenHAB 2.3 on Windows 10.

I have four MAX! Thermostat+, and one MAX! Thermostat, as well as a MAX! Cube. I do not have a CUL device. Somehow I am unable to set the temperature with set_temp. It is just ignored. The data is read fine though. I see all the actual set temps for all my thermostats.
I can switch between automatic and manual mode and back without any trouble.

Can anyone hint me at how to debug that? Since I can see the temperature, and I am not doing anything fancy to get and set the temperature (Setpoint item=maxBathroomSetTemp minValue=4.5 maxValue=32 step=0.5 icon=“temperature”), I would assume that the issue lies beyond errors in items / rules / sitemap, because the data is read properly.

I tried resetting one of my thermostats, un- and relearning it on the cube, sadly to no avail.

Have you seen this: MAX! system installation and configuration walktrough ?

You need to post (using Code Fences) some more info (your Items) to double check.

You can enable DEBUG on the binding using the OH2 console to see if something useful comes up.

Yes. The part you quoted does work.

I have googled for quite some time, but I cannot figure out how to set the debug level for certain bindings. log:list and log:get do not show any bindings. bindings.max does not show up anywhere. I’ll gladly add a log file as soon as I figure out how to obtain the proper logs…

It is true… the https://www.openhab.org/docs/administration/logging.html does not describe how to identify the bundle name :frowning:

Ohhhhh. Thanks! The ‘removed command’ happens because I clicked twice (trying to lower by a total of 1 degree). What I did was: I lowered the temperature. Then I selected Manual mode. Then I lowered the temperature again, through the very standard buttons in my sitemap. No fancy automation. Manual mode works, setting temperatures does not.

That log solved it. :slight_smile: Thanks!
I do not know why the standard interface does not work, but I know why my rules didn’t. I restructured my code, and substituted a few too many commands with postUpdate, that should have been sendCommand. :<

It’s late here, thanks for helping! (I noticed it was never sending a request)
