Can the Fibaro Heat Controllers monitor your solenoid (through a Fibaro Relay Switch)?


Ludoblues

Question

Hi,

 

I am wondering if it is possible to monitor a solenoid from the recent Fibaro Heat Controllers.

I am not in a house but in an appartment. The heat system is shared between every appartments, but every one has its own solenoid (monitored from 0 to 1, and 1 to 0, from a thermostat).

I have replaced this thermostat by a switch (it does exactly the same job: Turning the solenoid from 0 to 1 and from 1 to 0).

 

I could replace this physical switch into a Fibaro Relay Switch, that would be able to turn my solenoid to 0/1 from my smartphone or any physical action, but i would like to know if we can implement a "smart system".

 

Something fully automated would be as simple as:

  • When a Fibaro Heat Controller needs to warm up, it turns the Fibaro Relay Switch (the solenoid) to 1 (if it is not already).
  • When a Fibaro Heat Controller doesn't need to warm up anymore, it checks if other ones are still warming up,
    • If yes, it keeps the Fibaro Relay Switch (the solenoid) on 1,
    • If not, it turns the Fibaro Relay Switch (the solenoid) to 0.

 

I didn't find any information on the capabilities of the Heat Controllers to implement that behavior.

So, is it possible to configure that from the "Heating Pannel" ? Does it require a custom LUA script ?  Or is it just impossible (for example if the Heat Controllers don't report their state) ?

 

Thanks !
