HC3 not updating parameters from z-wave heat controller

Recommended Posts

Hello,

i have multiple heat controller valves at home connected to HC3. On top of that i have scene which should check if any of controllers "need heating" and if so, turn on electric heater. This works nicely... Problem is that quite often parameters are not reported from heat controllers and only temperatures update. This results in rooms cooling way bellow set temperature. When i open params in controller device i see them as 0 until i somehow force refresh these data. Do you have any experiences with controlling heating by this property?

Scene script:

Params when everything works and when they get "stuck" (all heat controllers have same params set, normal window detection and report heat needed).

Hello @sadovsf,

 the same thing happens to me with a Danalock Smart lock.  Loses the established parameters.  The only solution that I have been able to give is to send the parameters to the device every night at a certain time and check them every 5 hours.  This increases the flow of the zwave network, but I can't afford to have my door left open.

I am experiencing status report probelms with Danalock too. Mostly if i have more than 1 lock in the system.

Regarding radiator valves, i have never had this problem. The only thing i am doing differently that i am not using the "heatRequired" property to check if it needs heat (becuase not all of my radiators have this property.)

 

I am using 

fibaro.getValue(raditorID,"heatingThermostatSetpoint") to get the desired heatpoint and

fibaro.getValue(temperatureSensorID,"value") to get the temperature

and compare them.

  • I see, actually after some time it seems to sorted out itself somehow. Maybe this heat required property is somehow "self calibrating" and not working well at the begining. No idea
