Toggle Wall Plug with Smoke Sensor as thermostat?

[Lars-66 0]

Hi all!

 

Can I use the the thermal sensor in the Fibaro Smoke Sensor to trigger a Fibaro Wall Plug?
Example; Switch on when temperature goes below 18°C and turn off when it reaches 20°C.

You can use it via Linked devices (Panels -> Linked devices -> Heating). But place that linked device to room, that is managed by Heating Zone (created in Heating panel). Then you do not have to think about scheduling heating.

At the top left, the same side where you linked.

Hi Jakub

 

I have linked the temperature sensor in the Smoke Sensor with the Fibaro Wall Plug in Linked Devices like you wrote, and assigned it to my room. 

Then I created a Heating Zone for the same room. Now I will try to regulate the heat and see if that turns the Wall Plug (panel heater) on or off.

 

It seems to work, but where do I find the Linked Devices I already added?

Hi again, @jakub.jezek  

 

I don't understand how to manage the temperature without using the Schedule Mode?
Manual Mode is greyed out; I can adjust temperature and time, but I am not allowed to turn on...

How do you do that? The Smoke Sensor Temperature has a wake up interval of 21600sec (6hours), so the wall plug will react too late I think.

[jakub.jezek 350]

@kevin, temperature is sent everytime, when there is significant change to report. it does not report temperature after 6 hours. That would be highly inaccurate.

@jakub.jezek that sound normal. But the temperature from my smoke sensor is way of with the temperature that the thermostat (not smart) shows.

 

I already changed the set offset, but after a few hours the degrees is different again. It looks like a big lag of something like that.

I should have been more precise. I did meant scenes as you need to change all scenes regarding temperature, etc.

 

With Heating zone, it is much easier and more manageable.

Have you selected heating zone, where you want to use manual mode? Its on the right side in heating panel.

Every thermostat is different and it also depend of placement. What is actual difference of your thermometer and Fibaro smoke sensor? Saying way of is like + 8°C, +10 °C, ... ?

I would try to adjust report by setting Parameters 20 and 21.

It's of by 2ºC. But I can't change the offset with 2ºC degrees. Only 1ºC and 3ºC and more

@jakub.jezek  I don't quite understand by your reference to the right side of the heating panel - see attached screenshot and indicate, pls

I set parameter 12 to 0.5 degrees and parameter 11 to 30 minutes. (After one day the parameters where accepted.)

Still it reports only ones per 4 hours. Fibaro is always surprising me...

You mean old smoke sensor (FGSS-001), right?

 

Instead of param 11, it is parameter 10. I would recommend to set those again and manually wake smoke sensor (triple-click).

You could wake up smoke sensor manually by triple-click.
