Supported devices

[kroaeg]

Hi.

My dimmers and temp sensors are not available in the HDL app for Homie. Model devices are : Dimmer: HDL-MDT0601.433 and Temp Sensor: HDL-MSD04T.40 Am i doing something wrong or are they not supported yet?

Hi @kroaeg,

The dimmer is supported, so if it doesn't who up there is probably something wrong with your setup. Have you followed the setup guide? Are any other of your HDL equipment appearing?

As for your temperature sensor it seems to be a unit with 4 dry-contacts and a temperature sensor. I haven't got one of those myself, so I don't know what signals it sends. Also, I can't find any dry-contact units in the library that seems to have both that and temperature. You would probably have to that one yourself to figure out some more about it.

[kroaeg]

Yes i have followed the setup correctly. I only get access to curtain controllers, relays, multisensors and floorheaters. But no dimmers. I tried to reboot my homey and double checked my settings.

Hi @kroaeg,

I've updated the new test release found here with a lot of new dimmers. Check it out and see if it finds your device.

[kroaeg]

Working very well! You are awesome

Hi again! I did add DeviceID 371 (HDL-MSD04T.40) to the devicelist. I can now read and add temperature sensors to the homey. Tested OK!

Did you ever try to add digital sensors? They can be read from channel 13 on the connected heating controller.

[alydersen]

Hi @kroaeg,

Sounds good! Just to make sure I understand what you did: You added 371 as a temperature sensor and it functioned as expected? Do you want to make a Pull Request with that code? Cool when more people contribute with code.

For the heating controller; I don't have one myself, so I can't test. Want to try to add it to the code?

[kroaeg]

I added "371": { type: "tempsensor", channels: 4 }, to the devicelist so that is correct.

To read digital sensor from the heatingcontroller (channel 13 if set as outside temperature) i did change the devicelist from 6 to 13 channels. "DeviceID": { type: "floorheater", channels: 13 }, If i add my heatingcontroller channel 13 in the app i do read the correct outside temp. But since its logic is set as "floorheater" and not "tempsensor" i cannot use that reading in on my flows. Maybe a new "digital-sensor" driver is needed?

It should also be very easy to integrate in-buildt temperature sensors from any lightswitch. They are read from sub - deviceid- channel 1.

To make it clear. I have zero knowledge in coding. I just know the very basics on how this app works :)

[alydersen]

Sensors added in #61. Will create release for it after a couple of other changes

I can't control the floor heating with the Hdl panels? Is it possible?

Hi @Sivert80

I'm not sure I understand your question. HDL Panels can control HDL floor heating directly - no need for the app to do that.

[Sivert80]

Hei Andreas,

Sorry, the question was badly formulated.

I want to be able to control the floor heating with the app/homey. Is this something that can be done, and if so, how?

I`m attaching some pictures from my homey.

Best regards Tor Magne Sivertsen

You should be able to add HDL floor heaters as a device in Homey. I don't have one of those myself, and this part of the app is written by @horakmartin. Your picture doesn't show up here. Any ideas @horakmartin?

[horakmartin]

Hello, which HDL component are you using for floor heating?

[Sivert80]

Hey,

I control the floor heating with DLP panel from Hdl. In the Hdl cabinet you will find relays type MR1216.433 that switch in and out on the heating cables.

Pictures attached.

Hi @Sivert80,

Seems to me like you have you floor heating connected to a regular relay (I've done the same thing BTW). If so, you can add the VThermo APP to control that relay based on the temperatures from the thermostats.

Andreas

[kroaeg]

What? Do i understand that your installations does not contain any heating controllers?

[alydersen]

@kroaeg That is correct. It consists of 24V DC valves that are getting power if the HDL Relay is turned on. The HDL Panels can easily control these simple relays based on temperature and hysteresis. For my part, I'm not letting the panels control this any more, but rather use them and other thermometers in a room together with the VThermo app. This gives me a lot more control over how things are controlled, different modes etc. You can for also configure VThermo to turn of the thermostat if a door or window is open etc.

[kroaeg]

@alydersen We make HDL installations all the time and always use heating controllers together with relays. Both waterheating and cables. They are not wired together tho. Only programmed together. Heating controllers are smart PID based controllers that learn consistent temperatures and make the relays last longer. You can use only DLP but its not the right way to do lt imo. i controll heat directly via heating controller on homey. I also use UV switches to send day/night mode to the heating controller with power prices. Dyr strøm=dag/ Billig strøm=natt. when i change heating temp on the app. It also changes in my granite display 👍. I can use open door/window function to send UV switch to lower temp om heating controller.
