For a while now I’ve owned two Danfoss lc-13 thermostats. Currently, the only way to change the temperature is to manually tap the up and down arrows in the app in 0.5 increments. Really frustrating tbh.
I’ve been in contact with support about this lack of automation a couple of times, and it’s my impression that the update I’m looking for will never come, as the Danfoss devices are not recognised as thermostats in the backend.
I’m really eager to get this working as it has great potential for the energy usage for us Danfoss thermostat owners. Would it be possible to program a custom piece to work together with the published device handler to solve the problem? I’m really green in this area but willing to invest time to solve it.
I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to go about this.
I have a nest system and would like to take the set point from the nest and use this as the set point on the LC-13
I have Remote TEMPETURE sensors in all rooms and there fore can use these to regulate the LC-13s
I actually lost patience with the LC-13 and removed them all yesterday.
Was just going to package up and eBay but if you have a working solution this would be awesome
I managed to create a piston that controls the lc-13 by measuring the temperature from another sensor. Right now it turns on and off in order to maintain a room temperature between 22,2 and 22,4 degrees Celsius. When I’m not home, I’ve created a virtual button that shuts down the lc-13.
Still working on including the door/window sensor so when a window is open the lc-13 shuts down.
It’s the closest thing to fully automating it - at least what I’ve tried. Not sure if that’s what you’re looking for, but I can send you the piston
I’m using a Netatmo Weather Station connected to SmartThings. There’s a device handler somewhere in the forum. But really, you can use any device that measures temperature
Sure. It’s totally doable, but I’m still figuring out how to make the LC-13 turn off when opening a window or door. Right now my code on webCoRE is kinda messy with a lot of IF statements, but I’ll try to make it work later this week. I’ve just installed the last door/window sensor - I’m using the Fibaro sensors.
Take a look at my snapshot from webCoRE. You can try to import it
Please note that ST in the mean time has made it possible to select single heating devices when setting up automations. This makes simple actions easy to set up, but custom pistons are still preferrable for multuple triggers imod.
