Sorry for what i feel is a real noob question (and tbh it is) but I’ve searched the topic but not found a similar issue - i get a security error reported in the ST logs when i try and use the device:
has anyone else got the server running but getting endless attempt 1 …2…3… sending message: 006,R1D1F0
The app sends the command to the pi ok but the pi cant send the command to the wifilink
@marklones Sounds like you haven’t pressed the “Register” button in the ST app to me. Check this thread for further info (search Register), but that is all you will need to do to stop the endless attempts.
I have Lightwaverf dimmers and sockets that ST manages via a Raspberry Pi to the Lightwave Hub.
The issue i am having is that if the socket is on and I have a power cut, wben the power comes back on, the socket remains off. ST thinks it is on.
Is there a way that I can automatically return the LWRF devices back to the state they were before the power failure.
Thanks in advance.
Has anybody integrated the Lightwave PIR sensor?
I know you pair it to a Switch or socket to turn it on with motion but i wondered if they could be used independently.
I believe the Lightwave PIR Sensor is really just like any other Lightwave switch and communicates with the Lightwave Socket/Relay directly.
Therefore they never talk to the Wifi link directly and unfortunately because the system does not have state of the light available to query the PIR can’t be integrated with anything else like SmartThings. If you want to use a PIR for anything other than just Lightwave devices i.e. things on SmartThings I suggest using a Zigbee or ZWave protocol PIR and trigger LWRF using the integration. I do this with Aeon Labs devices and it works fine.
@Tim_Flinders I can confirm that this was my findings too. I have tried to use with ST but failed. The LWRF PIR cannot be integrated as far as I can tell. Zwave is certainly the way to go here, something like the Everspring will do it.
Thanks @Chris_Lambourne and @Tim_Flinders.
I thought this was the case but just wanted it confirmed.
I already have other types of pir sensors but have 1 LWRF and wondered if it could be integrated.
Another question for you LW peeps.
Has anyone managed to integrate LW into IFTTT.
I can see LW in the THEN part of IFTTT but not in the IF part.
Anyone tried this?
Hi Chris,
What I’m trying to get to is when a switch/outlet etc. is turned on manually using my finger (heaven forbid) it updates ST.
Now this can be done if ST turns on a light/switch using IFTTT.
This way I keep LW up to date if ST does something.
I’m now trying to do the same in reverse. i.e. If I turn on a LW device manually it updates ST.
Can’t seem to find a way to do it on IFTTT.
has anyone got the lightwaverf heating (thermostats and TRV’s) working with ST?
I have my light switches running with the pi server would be nice if i could get the heating working too
if its not been done i will see if i can get my mate who is into programming to have a look for me and upload what we get working
Short answer, don’t believe anyone has yet. There is a groovy for ST API for Evohome TRVs, that may be a good starting point for your mate.
I have been looking at the heating side of automation for a while now. I read a lot of negative reviews for the LWRF TRVs, mainly regarding excessive noise, and its timer function isn’t 24/7. I am not ready to commit to a heating setup right now, but if I were, it would probably be the Honeywell Evohome.
