ST's Zigbee Thermostat Driver Bug : 513: Error creating Int16: Int16 value must be an integer

Devices & Integrations

FYI for those with Zigbee thermostats using ST’s edge driver.

When you are trying to set the heating setpoint to a certain temperature, the mobile app errors out, voice assistants fail, and the Advanced Web App fails. The specific error is this:

513: Error creating Int16: Int16 value must be an integer

Details:

This is happening on all my thermostats (Lux Konoz’s) when trying to set the heating setpoint. I’ve not tried other thermostats, or a cooling setpoint.

I have an open ticket with ST on this #1546025 in case anyone else runs into this and would like to reference another instance of this bug.

That sounds like it could be the bug that Steven put in a PR for on Friday.

Where did you catch that, on Github?

Looks like this isn’t a new bug for ST either:

This is fixed in Zigbee Thermostat MC

I opened a ticket on this in early Jan and they never fixed it so I asked Mariano and he did it for me. I was also told back then that there was a bug opened and it wouldnt be long. We’ll. I guess not.

Yes, I am an avid reader of the Pull Requests and that one stuck in my mind. I haven’t really played with thermostats but it sounded like it ought to have had more impact than it seems to have had.

Yup I saw that, but I’m trying to use as many ST provided drivers as possible, for now at least.

Cool, thanks. I agree with you statement as well, especially since it’s been reported before.

I guess it all depends on how cold you get while you wait.

Hi @johnconstantelo. Well is not too much to say here thanks to @orangebucket :muscle:. As he mentioned, there is a pull request working on that issue. You can see it here.

Hi @johnconstantelo

While they fix it, I think you could use °F values that, converted to °C, needed for zigbee attribute, do not have decimals. If the capability presentation allow decimal numbers. :wink:

64.4F = 18c
66.2F = 19c
68F = 20c
69.8F = 21c
71.6F = 22c

Hi @mlchelp
Out of curiosity, I have been looking at the PR and it does not include the correction for the “stelpro-ki-zigbee-thermostat” subdriver, in case you want to tell smartthings about it.

I thikn is this PR

Mariano, Zigbee Thermostat MC works fine for me and I will just continue to use it.

Yeah, I’m going to switch drivers too. The update on my ticket last night from @SmartThings support was so ridiculous that I couldn’t see straight at 4am this morning. I gave them the benefit of the doubt that providing CLI logs, screenshots, and the github bug link that something would actually transpire from that. Nope, they’re useless as always.

Been there done that many many times but they never seem to fix anything! If it wasn’t for Mariano and a few others on these forums, ST just wouldn’t work at all and I would have moved on to Hubitat or Home assistant.
