Danfoss Living Connect FW 3.02 loose Z-Wave compatibility!!

[Guest domoticawireles]

Dear HC2 users,

today we try to use a new Danfoss Living Connect thermostatic valve, and we see that is not working on HC2.

The problem is the new firmware 3.02...

Danfoss also deleted "speaks Z-Wave" logos on the box...

Talking with a Danfoss agent, he told me that Danfoss will introduce a new versione of Living Connect, but he doesn't know the right code.

Another problem is that new Living Connect with FW 3.02 has the same product code (014G0002) of the old and compatible product...

I am very worried!!!!

Fibaro engineers, what do you think about?

I made some photos with differences between the 2 models, indicating the one it works.

Hi!

We are checking this issue! Thank you for your concern!

[Guest m.rodziewicz]

Hello. We are aware. Danfoss decided to create new version of thermostates which is only compatible with Danfoss Living Connect Wall controller. They will start supplying former version ( zwave compatible ) in the end of September, so everything will go back to normal.

Hi fibaro peopoe,

Have you any news about new compatible danfoss products?

Thx.

[Guest MitchellOnline]

I just got some new Danfoss thermostats, all version 3.02.

Is this version now support by the 1.040 firmware????

Or do I need to send the Danfoss thermostats back?

Danfoss with version 3.02 is not compatible with zwave so it would not work with Fibaro HC2. The latest version compatible with zwave and HC2 is 2.50. You will have to sent Your thermostats back to Danfoss and buy the right one.

So version 2.50 is newer than version 3.02?

If not, I hope Danfoss is still producing version 2.50.....

No version 2.50 is not newer than 3.02 it is completely another device. The one working with zwave and Fibaro of course uses version 2.50. Some time ago Danfoss made new sort of thermostates working ONLY with Danfoss interface and it has version 3.02

To sum up:

Danfoss version 2.50 works GREAT with zwave and Fibaro Home Center 2

Danfoss version 3.02 does not work with zwave but works with Danfoss interface.

Hope this will help You

It is up to Fibaro to support this new version.

Hi,

Danfoss is a little bit confusing with its new equipment. As wasil, said:

014G0001 and 014G0002 WILL NOT WORK WITH Z-WAVE CONTROLLERS (do not have z-wave compatibility and Z-wave logo)

014G0012 (2.50 software) WILL WORK OK

[Billias 1]

Good morning,

I am also a "victim" of this change. I bought 7 of them... to set them up with the new Fibaro.... and after i installed them and tried to pair them with fibaro, i found out that something was wrong.

From my side, I am pissed off with Danfoss... and i will go a little bit further.

I found it their Fault to still have on their website, PDF which has models 014G0001 and 014G0002 as z-wave compatible.

And no information about this new firmware.

The only way to find these info was a forum.

Nevermind about it... My thermostats 014G0002 with 3.02 have also the same issues.

No z-wave logo on boxes, no pairing with Fibaro HC2.

I just spoke to Danfoss and asked some questions about the firmware versions:

As they where running out of memory for the firmware in the living connect they decided to make two versions, one for the general z-wave communication and one for their own living connect product series.

They both use z-wave but the 014G0012 version will only work with other z-wave products.

He said that they will keep selling the z-wave version aswell as it is an OEM product.

[Guest m.rodziewicz]

Please note You can only use 014G0012 with Home Center 2. Other Danfoss models are non zwave ones - do not comunicate with any zwave gateway

[stevenvd 51]

That's what I just said... I just tried to clarify why they made two versions
