Hi guys,
I’m currently using the official openwebnet binding but interested in the thermo central unit (99 zone) feature. Are there plans about merging this feature in the official binding? Thanks a lot
Hi @Brando, see this post: [OpenWebNet] Support for central units in thermoregulation
We’re working on it!

Many thanks Andrea and Massi. I’ll keep checking the news on the community!
Updating heat set point to central unit works well for me too. (I got a 99 temp zone unit)
To help other as it was not straightfoward to me : you need to uninstall your bticino binding then upload the latest alpha jar from
to
/usr/share/openhab
I did restart the openhab service, I don’t know if it was needed though;
you should no longer need to do that because meahnwhile the thermo feature (only display temp without integration of 99 temp zone) is integrated in the official distribution binding (stable release 3.2.0)
Hi @bastler , that’s weird, because I juste reverted to the official binding and it does not work anymore.
I stopped the openhab service, removed the jar, started the service, installed the official binding through the web interface, I did not restart and all my items are back. But I cannot change the heat setpoint.
What could I do to troubleshoot that?
Hi guys,
I’ve just published an updated release of the binding for central unit (ALPHA-2)
As always, feedbacks will be appreciated!

I get following error when it try’s to enable the auto discovered central unit,
may you can have a look.
Tested with openHAB 3.3.0 / Build #2694

yes, I know. Discovery is one of open points.
You should add CU manually as described in the readme.
Thanks for the hint, missed that, but may you add in the readme that also the bridge need to be defined textual otherwise it gives the same error as when it get discovered.
i just tried the addon, most things seem to work as expected. the only thing i realized till now:
when i change the modes to programm (i suppose “programm” meams “automatic”) sometimes it immediately switches back to manual
example (done in webbrowser):

the items for controlling the cu i did not setup and test till now.
i only had the items for the local zones setup, for example one room:
Number:Temperature iBuero_Heizung "Büro Ist-Temperatur[%.1f %unit%]" <temperature> (iG_Heizung) { channel="openwebnet:bus_thermo_zone:bticino:Buero_Heizung:temperature" }
Number:Temperature iBuero_Heizung_Set "Soll-Temperatur[%.1f %unit%]" <heating> { channel="openwebnet:bus_thermo_zone:bticino:Buero_Heizung:setpointTemperature" }
String iBuero_Heizung_Mode "Modus" <settings> { channel="openwebnet:bus_thermo_zone:bticino:Buero_Heizung:mode" }
String iBuero_Heizung_Aktor "Heizung heizt![]" <radiator> { channel="openwebnet:bus_thermo_zone:bticino:Buero_Heizung:actuators" }
now at the moment i setup the items for the central, now i see when i set the mode from a local zone to OFF and then back to programm in the log:

I am testing
org.openhab.binding.openwebnet-3.3.0.M1.beta2.bootsynch-thermocu.jar
fresh openhabian install OH3.2 RPi4b
heatingValves still not working… Item is now string type and Valves not Valve according to snapshot readme
No errors seen with default log level
Thing bus_thermo_zone 6 "Office" [ where="6" ]
String Office_HeatingValve "Office heating" <radiator> {channel="openwebnet:bus_thermo_zone:gateway:6:heatingValves"}
to be honest i never used the channel heatingValves
i use the channel actuators that tells me if my valve from the underfloor heating is ON or OFF
I tried them all and all null
String Office_Actuator "Office actuator" <radiator> {channel="openwebnet:bus_thermo_zone:gateway:6:actuator"}
String Office_ConditioningValve "Office conditiong valve" <radiator> {channel="openwebnet:bus_thermo_zone:gateway:6:conditioningValves"}
Heatingvalves used to work with OH2.5 and with OH3.2 the marketplace binding worked at boot but items were not updated after that.
I am using the 99zone control unit
Here is what I see after increasing the thermostat
and decreasing
strange, i also use the 3550 (99 zone central). for me the channel actuator works
my things:
bus_thermo_zone Buero_Heizung "Buero_Heizung" @ "Temperatur" [ where="17", standAlone=false ]
and this are my items i use:
Number:Temperature iBuero_Heizung "Büro Ist-Temperatur[%.1f %unit%]" <temperature> (iG_Heizung) { channel="openwebnet:bus_thermo_zone:bticino:Buero_Heizung:temperature" }
Number:Temperature iBuero_Heizung_Set "Soll-Temperatur[%.1f %unit%]" <heating> { channel="openwebnet:bus_thermo_zone:bticino:Buero_Heizung:setpointTemperature" }
String iBuero_Heizung_Mode "Modus" <settings> { channel="openwebnet:bus_thermo_zone:bticino:Buero_Heizung:mode" }
String iBuero_Heizung_Aktor "Heizung heizt![]" <radiator> { channel="openwebnet:bus_thermo_zone:bticino:Buero_Heizung:actuators" }
the actuator is configured as follows
Its working as I can hear it switching a few seconds after changing the thermostat setting
OH3 Items for setpoint , temperature and mode all work as expected. Mode is manual, protection, off… didn’t see automatic when at the 0 degree room offset
for me the actor config looks quite different (in myhome suite):
and module1 for example:
i dont use sensors with a wheel for offset, i use 4693 (probe without selector)
when you change the mode from to auto then the channel mode becomes PROGRAM that was confusing for me but i thik this is wanted because in auto mode it runs 1 of the three programms that you can configure in the central - but maybe ther is a little bug, often when i change to auto the binding immediately changes back to manual, if i try more often then it works.
Thanks a lot for your work! I’m testing the 3.3.0-ALPHA-2 version. Currently, it seems to me that the binding works as expected with MANUAL, OFF, PROTECTION, and SCENARIO (I still have to test the WEEKLY one). I few comments regarding those modes:
- The Central Unit mode continues to switch to MANUAL. For instance, If I change it to PROTECTION, all the setpoint temperatures are correctly set but the Central Unit mode immediately changes back to MANUAL. This happens also if the Central Unit mode is changed outside OH, for instance using the F454 WebUI. Also in this case the Central Unit mode in OH changes to the new value (for instance OFF or PROTECTION) and then back to MANUAL.
- With MANUAL mode it seems to me that the Central Unit setpoint temperature is set (i.e. written) correctly. Nonetheless, I experienced some issues when reading. If the Central Unit setpoint temperature is modified outside OH (for instance through the F454 WebUI), the new value is correctly reported as a target by each thermostat in OH but not by the Central Unit setpoint temperature.
