Secure SRT323 Thermostat

Changing types did the trick. For some reason the set point defaulted to 101 degrees though, so the house is now boiling :wink:

125

I have an idea how the older functionality which used the high temperatures might be restored by generalising the Modes available, but that involves delving even deeper into the details of the changes in the new App. In any case most of that functionality can be achieved using scenes.

126

That would be amazing, because it seems now that the DH is taking those high temperatures as actual set points. I have a webCoRE piston that changes the heating temperature based on presence. So now when everyone leaves the house the heating goes to 102 degrees, which sets the thermostat to its maximum of 30. Then when someone returns it goes to 101 degrees, so also 30…

I’ll adjust the piston to set the actual desired temperature for now.

Thank you for your continued efforts on this!!

Hi @cpetzny! I’ve just posted a new version, which should get you back to the point you were when the new app forced some changes. The new DH allows you to choose between 5 modes, ‘off’ and ‘heat’ plus ‘home’, ‘away’ and ‘resume’. The first 2 are as before where ‘off’ switches the device into its frost protection mode. ‘home’ and ‘away’ switch it onto 2 temperatures which are set in the preferences, whereas ‘resume’ switches it back to the previous setpoint temperature.

All of these, and some other parameters such as battery state, are available as conditions in automations and actions in scenes and automations.

That’s the good news. The bad news is that there’s a bug in smartthings implementation of the menu which appears when you click the ‘Mode’ tile, such that gobbledegook appears for some of the items. This only happens in this menu and not, for axample, when setting up a scene or automation. Smartthings support have acknowledged the issue but haven’t given me a date for it to be fixed. However, I can tell you that the 5 items appear in alphabetical order.

Hello,

just installed and I’m seeing the following:

  1. the old options for T101, etc. are still in the settings
  2. the on/off switch has vanished from the tile in the overview
  3. I’m not seeing the new modes in WebCoRe. I just get auto, cool, emergency heat, heat and off. Wonder if that’s related to the gobbledegook bug?

As always, thanks for your continued efforts on this. Could I ask one more favour? Could you include a version number in the code? Just makes it easier to ensure we all have the correct code when we feed back…

Thanks,
Chris.

I’ll reply to your 3 issues individually.

  1. You need to go to the device information. There’s a section on the preferences where you click ‘edit’. Make sure the entries for the old preferences are blank and click ‘save’. Not exactly intuitive. I had to do some googling to work that out.
  2. I’ll check that. Should be simple to fix.
  3. That’s the one thing I didn’t check. I’ll get back to you.

Point 2 fixed. Download the latest version or change the ‘vid’ to
“c3fe91aa-3af3-3f5d-acea-346d4859bce0”. Will almost certainly need the double update trick.

Point 3 is a harder nut to crack. May require complete removal from WebCore and replacement. Strangely ‘supportedThermostatModes’ appears correctly, so it ought to know the modes which are available for the device. I’ve posted a query on a WebCore forum.

Fantastic!!

  1. Done, old settings now gone
  2. Done, on/off button is back
  3. I’ll wait for your feedback :slight_smile:

Thank you!!

I have been told that the list of Thermostat Mode values in WebCoRE is baked into the WebCoRE app and hasn’t been updated (yet?) to reflect recent changes. However, after some experimentation I think I have a workaround.
When you want to access the thermostat mode in WebCoRE, instead of choosing the list of ‘Values’, choose ‘Expression’ and enter the mode in the form {‘home’} Note the small ‘h’.

Hello everyone!
First of all, I’m sorry, because I’m new here …
I am a z-wave user, but I have a Vera Edge gateway!
I use the Secure Srt323 thermostat with an actuator in the boiler and it works perfectly in the vera.
But I am thinking of switching to a Smartthings because of having zigbee …

does the thermostat work well on smartthings?

Thanks!

I have just bought an SRT323 but cannot get it to connect to my SmarthThings hub. Have tried:

  • Close to hub
  • rebooted hub
  • Added DH from aonghusmor

I tried looking up the instructions from the domotica link above but that’s been taken over by malware. Anyone have a copy of those instructions or suggestions to connect?

I start Smarthings:

  • Add device
  • Generic Z-Wave device > Z-wave > Generic Z-Wave device
  • Start > select room > next
    SRT323
  • DIP switch 1 set for installation mode
  • ‘n’ > press button > nP
  • rotate dial to ‘L’ > press > ‘LF’ in 5 seconds
  • rotate dial to ‘LI’ > press > ‘LI’ flashes but SmartThings App times out.

Hi @cpetzny, @Helder_Rodrigues & @andykn

I’ve just posted a version of my device handler with a small update that should eliminate a bug by which a change to the temperature setting on the device itself was not always reflected in the App.
