How to configure ZXT-120 with Home Centre?

You must set parametr 27, to desired value (choose from code library for ZXT-120). Ten you must make soft reconfiguration.

In Code library are numbers for codes for desired HVAC device. E.G. value 45 is for Sanyo.

Yeah Thanks..its working.

 

Btw Global cache and ZXT-120 ,Which gives the better result?

[jakub.jezek 371]

Well ZXT-120 is build for HVAC devices only, I only tested it how to communicate with Fibaro, but, when i sent command to ZXT-120, IR flashed, so i think is working, But i think Global Caché is better, becouse for example with iTach Flex, you can connect to 3 different devices with Tri-port, but you must catch IR codes.

But Global cache works just as a remote. In the home centre, i don`t get an indication about the present condition of ac ( Whether it is ON or OFF ).

It is possible to monitor the condition with ZXT-120 and it has got a good range as well. But there is no option to insert the fan commands (To tun it ON and OFF). 

 

Please suggest how to insert fan commands to ZXT-120 through fibaro HCL.

[jakub.jezek 371]

I think Fan commands are in ZXT-120 (saw something in that), but you must choose AC device with fan, i think.

 

Well Global cache has not buil-in temperature sensor, but it work on same principle (flashing IR).

I have been making my way through the codes for a Mitsubishi Electric A/C unit.

 

The closest I can get to something working is a code where it seems to function correctly when I change the temp setpoint and mode, but randomly after a minute or so it sends an IR command to the AC unit to set the temp to 18C and heating mode.

 

Has anyone else experienced something like this?

 

Does anyone have this working with the Mitsubish Zen AC units? If so, can you share which code actually worked for you?

 

I’ve gone through about 10 of them so far with no luck.

I tried with an AC whose code is not present in the library. I was able to configure everything properly except the fan commands. So how to overcome this problem. ?

I wanted to directly control the fan speed with my controller. How is it possible.? please explain.
