Sorry, my mistake. I was using the old SharpTools authorization list in the SmartThings app under Automation.
I went to my account web page, Manage Connections, Samsung SmartThings, Allow “SharpTools” to access these things, and the device now shows up and functions correctly in SharpTools.
Thanks for the update! If you’re not using the legacy Groovy integration anymore (eg. with the Tasker Plugins), you can remove it to avoid any confusion going forward.
@Mariano_Colmenarejo, together with SmartThings or SharpTools automations, this edge driver will suffice as a replacement to the Groovy-based Virtual Thermostat With Device.
I’ve been using Virtual Thermostat With Device to very simply operate three room heating systems out of space heaters (or a natural gas fireplace) and temperature sensors. Very safe, very effective.
I’m wondering if you can consider adding one piece of functionality to the child thermostat device. Add a setting for which SmartThings device to operate as a heater (or cooler) and then add the code to turn it on or off based on thermostatOperatingState. Perhaps the latter is not possible due to limitations with Edge. If it is possible, it would eliminate having to create and maintain automations for this use case.
I’m not claiming that I wouldn’t need any automations for my room heating. I do have automations that set the thermostatMode to off:
after x minutes of motion inactivity
when arming my home alarm
It would just reduce the number of automations I have to maintain – or recreate in case of failure/mistake.
Sorry, I don’t understand what you want to tell me.
This thermostat has the necessary code to detect if it needs to cool or heat according to the cold and heat setpoints entered.
If you use any heat+cool mode:
With the Heating or Cooling events of thermostat state capability you can activate the heater or the cooler.
With the Pending Heat or Pending Cool events of thermostat state capability you can turn off the heater or the cooler.
With thermostat modes with customizable presets (Auto, Asleep, Rush Hour, Away, Eco) you can change the hot and cold set points with a simple routine.
If you use the Heat mode, it only emits the Heating and Pending Heat states If you use the Cool mode, it only emits the Cooling and Pending Cool states.
There are more capabilities (Fan cycle…) that can be used to make routines.
The routine limit has been raised to 1000 routines and scenes.
Yes, this thermostat has an impressive number of abilities. You did great work in delivering them.
When I use the term “automations”, I mean “routines”.
I would like to not have to use a routine to turn on my heater device. Could the thermostat devce be made to send the on or off command to my heater device directly?
I don’t have to touch anything all winter, it works automatically, except when I go on vacation or I’m away, when I have two routines that put the Away mode on and lock the thermostat until I get home.
Total 8 very simple local routines.
The alternative would be to buy a physical thermostat with relays and do all these functions with its internal firmware.
@Mariano_Colmenarejo, I have a different problem which has been happening since the beginning. Humidity is not being displayed from my multisensor. Should it be?
I own 2 Oomi Multisensors from fantem.com, which are basically Aeotec Multisensor 6’s. When I try to delete one and readd it to SmartThings – so that it picks up the Aeotec edge driver – it gets readded with the DTH. I suppose that’s because it’s reporting with a different mfgr code.
If I’m having trouble with functionality of one or more of the sensor’s capabilities, would I ask on the z-wave sensor thread and get them to fix it there? For instance, motion detection is not working probably because one of the sensor’s many settings is not exposed for me to set in the device in the app.
Then I will modify the driver.
sorry, I forgot to add the fingerprints to send the initial configuration and the two preferences parameters of profile.
That may have caused it to not work well, although it should have kept the configuration it had with the DTH.
Update: Initial Configuration and preferences fixed in this version
