Integration of Z-Wave Danfoss Thermostat

[german_user]

Hey There

it’s not a message for solving or a new solution. My Status is that the main Problem called E5 with Danfoss Thermostats can be fixed. Not for 100% but for a reasonable conditon.

I only want to give a big thanks to the guys who helped me…and I’m sure a lot of others in the world! (more in Europe with the most missing Smartthings-officially-Support )

I’m a german student and not really close to programing. My english is not pretty good as it should after main-School, but I try my best.
I read much about smartthings and about my annoying Danfoss (in Germany called “Devolo”, a also big Company use it too and made a partnership with Danfoss - but no doubt the same product)
I have started the last two days to search about my E5 Problem and the issue after 30mins loosing Connection and showing E5. The first evening after a looong reading day was chastening. For real. I though I couldnt find any way for understanding, because nobody use german and the most presuppose certain skills in smartthings and not only a user who installed products and use it without problems as I do before

But the understanding came in the next day and the point that “Device Handlers” are a Software close to the orginal which I can install and overwrite my existing. For example my Thermostats. The surface in the most cases Change with the new IDE copied script when you click in the smartthings app to the “new installed Thing”.
And a new knowledge is a smartapp called CORE. Its a massive and heavy useful program which can control like IFTTT.

I would help everybody like this three guys, if I could. Not each of them is a superuser and a programer I think, but they try (tried) their BEST !

With his new and brilliant working Danfoss LC13 TRV V0.7 ! (so happy and pleased that I can change my wakeUp-Intervall and the much better working Surface with the rasterd sliders!)

Thermostat and TRV (Radiator Valves)

@richp I have an LC-13 working with your DH. Top job. My question to Aaron was if and when are ST going to fully support it. I use multiple Secure stats and switches to control the 3 zones in the house. The LC-13 compliments this by allowing me to time control rads that aren’t always in use. Nowhere near as intelligent as Nest but a lot cheaper (you can get the Secure stat and received for 30-40 quid on eBay). Top work on the Danfoss DH. Much needed addition to the ST compatibility list (hopefully ST will add it at some point).

…also a comment makes hope for the future:
Quote: “Good news on that front. I’m working with ST to get this certified following a prod from Danfoss. Process has only just started so I guess it will take a bit of time before its all official. ”

@danielccm
This guy is really persistent and willing to solve his (5E haha) and the others problems - Dani, Thank you from all my heart!
Main theme and discussions about the starting problem and the long path to solve it (not so for me, because the solution is now available since a couple of weeks/months ^^)

Yeah I mean you…ist the wrong topic over here, but your really really pictured and detailed way to descripe CORE helped me a lot! - Thank you too

CoRE for Dummies (How to get started and make your first Piston)

This is a noob’s post created by a noob. EDIT: 9/9/16 updated some links and added some newer info (Amazon’s Alexa, etc.) EDIT: 9/10/16 updated some key info not mentioned in the install links I’ve started this not because I know a bunch about CoRE (Community’s own Rules Engine), in fact it’s quite the opposite. Instead I’m just pulling together some helpful tips which got me get started and got me up and running with this outstanding rule engine for Smartthings. There is a lot info out there mainly designed to help people do amazing things with CoRE, but it was hard to find the “for Dummies” type info. And very hard for me (a true noob) to get started. Hopefully this post will help others who may not have ever added a custom smartapp to the IDE or maybe never even have had to log i…

I think everybody knows the feeling when you find a way to make your life easier and share your problems and at the end of the day you got a Problem less. (don’t know if the sentences are right - but you know what I mean

Greetings to all from the cold Germany (so happy that Thermostats work )
Stay strong in the hard but so customable smartthings world.
