@struna any possibility of you updating/branching (temporarily) the handler based on this possible fix?

I got five of these LC 13 and using them in Germany (UK v2)
I already have the e5 Error (lost connection) and my set points canā€™t be change via smartthings.

Thank you guys for the information about this bug!
Smartthings was informed by myself too about the troubles.

Hope the ST programmers can fix it, because at the moment I got 300ā‚¬ useless plastic plugs on my heaters :smiley:

Some information for the DTH writers of the the thread.

In the post linked below @meavydev provides information in how to work around this issue. As and when you get 5 minutes perhaps you could have a look and see if it resolves your issues and then feedback.

Thanks all

I see from the link below that a fix is expected today / tomorrow for this, so maybe not worth developing a workaround at this stage;

Iā€™ve tested the workaround, thanks @JDRoberts for the links to the threads where the problem is discussed, with my non functioning LC13 valves and can confirm it does solve the problem with the Danfoss LC13. The valves had gone into E5 error and after updating the DTH i then had to re-FIX the valves to get them working again. They may have worked all on their own if i had more patience :slight_smile:

I see there is an expected fix due but if like me you cant wait and want your heating working again let me know and iā€™ll post the update to the DTH (Tom Philipā€™s ā€œDanfoss Living Connect Radiator Thermostat LC-13 v3ā€ original) to work around the issue. I created a new DTH and swapped over to it so i can swap back easily to the original once its all confirmed working.

Can you post please?

@brumster here ya go:

NOTE: For anyone finding this in the future this DTH was just a TEMP workaround to a firmware issue in April 2017 and (hopefully) will be fixed post 25th April. Smarterm Devs do say there is no harm in using the workaround code but i would still scroll up and find the original instead.

Edit: temporary device handler removed 25th April now the fix has been applied and tested working.

Thanks Paul. Just caught up on this thread. Looks like thereā€™s a temporary fix from @Richard_Woodward (great work btw).

Iā€™m not home at the moment, in order to be able to look into this but it also looks like itā€™s going to get fixed by smarthings themselves, so perhaps nothing to fix at the mo.

If they donā€™t fix it. @Richard_Woodward - can you open a pull request with the fix and I can merge it into the DTH?

@tommysqueak sorry i wouldnā€™t have a clue how to :blush: not a git hub user, maybe thatā€™s something i should look into soon. The change is easy enough, itā€™s in the wake-up v2 notification zwaveevent and Iā€™ve commented the start and end of code and commented out a single line of your original so itā€™ll easy for you to find and update if Samsung donā€™t deliver on the promised fix. Hopefully by tomorrow no one will need it anyway and we can see if someone can delete my post to avoid future confusion with others looking for a handler.

Ah, excellent, I found your fix now :slight_smile: Thanks.

Iā€™ll wait a day or 2 and check back in and see if theyā€™ve fixed it. Looks like they will soon :pray:

If it wasnā€™t for the sudden temp drop in the UK today i probably would never have noticed it not working, thought the house was a little chilly when i got home from work today and found valves in E5. Quick community search soon located the workaround and i had a warm house again :grinning:

This community rocks

Yep. I owe @meavydev a beer. His quick fix has my SAF rating protected :wink:

Applied your update and radiators responding again, thanks! I see on the other chain that the hotfix has been released too. Hopefully nothing new introduced!

Iā€™ve seen the e5 problem over the weekend, but as of today it seems to have resolved itself without me modifying the dth. Does anyone know if smartthings have updated the hub?

Are you successfully sending setpoint changes?

Paul

Iā€™m happy to report all of my devices (two Danfoss room thermostats, and 7 DC-13s) are all working correctly again w/o me having to update the DTHs. E5 errors cleared on their own as well. Setpoint working again as expected.

Seems all is well.

Hi thanks for your handler seems to be working with my POPP 010101 TRV, but a few questions if you can help answer them?

When the temp is set lower that what it reports, as an example if ir reports the room temp at 22oC and I set a heating set point to 19oC should it report as cooling in ST App, as it still shows heating and not sure if thatā€™s correct, as the TRV should be closed as no heat is needed?
Also how frequent does it poll for updates to get a new setpoint and report back its detected temp, looking at log it seems every 10mins?
And lastly when its Turned Off in the ST App, I assume that closes the TRV and no heat is passed into the rad?

Again thanks for your effort and help.

Mark
