Hi I have some problem when running. For me, when adjust setting like changing temp, switchmode, my thermostat response to the change very quickly, but Smartthings app doesnt refresh the settings, actually the app was not updating the setting at all.
Do i need to remove and re-add my thermostat?
Another problem is when adjust temp, say my current temp is 70, first click to heatup increase my temp by 1, change to 71, second click doest do anything. then click once on heatdown, decrease by 2, change to 69.
Nothing wrong with this codeā¦that is just how SmartThings works at the moment. I get the same exact thing. I believe they are working on updating things to work better with Thermostats, so hopefully that goes away once they do.
Iām using your code, but my thermo looks different (aside from me adding the name next to the temp reading). Any ideas why this looks like this? Iām using a Samsung S4:
Look at the arrows, and the Fan should say itās circulating. The wordwrap and font size are also different, and Iām not specifying either of those items.
Arrows: This is a bug in Android where the label placeholders display as āāā under/above the icon. Sometimes its there, sometimes not. I have not figured out hpw to make it go away permanently.
Fan Circulating: There is no icon for āCirculatingā in the code notes on github, I explained that I display a small ācā on the fan on icon. You can see it on your screen shot. Iāll request another icon for circulating.
Wrap and Font: This is using the defaults in SmartThings. Iāve struggled with getting nice layouts due to ST fonts and fitting. Iāll request documentation (ha-ha) on this.
Meanwhile, would you want me to post the un-icon code back up on github?
I added ā,wordWrap: trueā to valueTile for temperature hoping it would word wrap like in your example, but no luck. Iāve seen that used in other device types, so I thought it would be worth a try.
For adding the newline into the display, what should work, and does on iOS but not android is the following:
state ā¦ label: āThis is some text\n${currentValue}ā
Again, it does work on iOS, but not Android. A bug is filed. Iād add it into your code now and it will work when ST updates with the fix in the build.
This is great, @twackā¦ much needed improvement! Iāve ALMOST got it working but itās not quite behaving correctly. I created the new device type, only checked the āthermostatā capability check box when creating the new device type and then added the 6 custom commands. Copied your 531 lines of code and replaced the starter code. Saved and then went in and updated my Honeywell Z-Wave Thermo to be this new device type. Force closed and re-opened the ST app in iOS.
After that - the thermostat in ST app shows up with your new icons and layout - looks greatā¦however for some reason it will only decrement the temperature from the current setting ONCE - like a single degree - and increment it ONCE. Soā¦the temperature started out as 67. I can only go down to 66 or up to 68. In the logs I see that if I repeatedly hit the down arrow, it just keeps returning āSetting heat set point down to: 66ā.
In addition - the tiles are not updating - meaning even when it does lower the temperature to 66 (and the temp is lowered on the thermo) - on the tile it still says 67. Same holds true for when I cycle between modes - even though it turns the thermo off - on the tile it still says heat. Itās like itās not pulling back the current thermo status correctlyā¦ so every time I hit down, itās not decrementing off of the refreshed (lowered) value.
Thanks Twack! Iām also using your updated code and itās working great.
I also didnāt have these device types set āConfiguration, Polling, Refresh, Temperature Measurement, Thermostatā but do now and seems to be working better.
This is awesome. The first thing I noticed when installing my CT100 was I hated those little sliders. I hope the dev guys adopt your design into the production software.
One feature request, is it possible for you to put a spinning āworkingā indicator on a tile after pressing until the polling shows the last action was complete. I have had trouble before where my stat was āoffā and I tapped it to turn it to āheatā but it didnāt respond right away so I tapped it again, and then it jumped two modes to ācoolā If it had a working spinner that started right after my first tile press showing me it was trying then I would sit back and wait for the tile to repopulate with the current mode.
I am not getting this to operate my CT100. I did the full install instructions and the device view changed to all of your new tiles, but It is not responding to any commands. I have tried changing temperature and mode, and refreshing, but nothing changesā¦
Hmmā¦almost sounds like you didnāt check the boxes for the following capabilities on the device type in the ide: Configuration, Polling, Refresh, Temperature Measurement, Thermostat
I know Iāve missed that in the past. Hopefully it is as easy as that!
