Remotec zxt-120 A/C Controller

[Auto-m8r]

Hi Ilcato,

I love the work you have done with the Fibaro HC2 home bridge plugin.

I have found that my Remotec ZXT-120 A/C Controller does not work in homebridge, it did detect before i updated to 1.09 however it still did not work correctly.

Is there a way to get this device working correctly?

[ilcato]

Try to add the "switchglobalvariables" parameter in config.json with a value of "".

@ilcato - tried, but same error. Actually fibaro plugin is working, but those devices is not shown - it generates error and continiue to working to next plugin ....

@ilcato - the issue is resolved - the problem is this smart meter "Netichome DIN Smart Meter", also called Quibino Smart meter. Because he doesn't have a template, I needed to configure it from parameters, but on fibaro UI it shows "Unconfigured", so I removed it and everything is perfect again.... is there a way to ignore Unconfigured devices in your plugin?

[ilcato]

Name it with an _ in front

[agisofttm]

@ilcato - Thank you very much for the help. Sorry again

[Mx-Razvan]

Hi Ilcato

after the update to 2.0.4 the AC Control accessory is blocked on hating - 21 degrees. It shows that is on all the time. The temperature setup is working but I cannot put it on cool or off (like before, unless it didn't work in HC2)

also - on the global variables - made according to the wiki - just the first one from the list is working - switching from true to false and back in HC2. The second one and the rest aren't working.

Any ideas why?

Thanks

[ilcato]

which was the previous version of your setup? 2.0.3 or before?

[Mx-Razvan]

1.1.2

[ilcato]

In 1.1.2 you were not able to change the cooling state, I mean you were able to change it from the Home app but the state was not propagated to the Home Center and viceversa.

[Mx-Razvan]

Yes - I was able to change the state and it remained as I set it in home app, without being propagated to HC2. Just the temperature set worked. Now the temperature set is working and propagated to HC2 but when I try to put it on cool, off or auto in Home app it keeps returning to Heat 21 degrees

[ilcato]

ok, just publish 2.0.5 that by default behave like 1.1.2. The new logic is for heating thermostats like Danfoss in order to manage the cooling state that is not present in the z-wave device.

[ilcato]

For other device I still need to implement the logic for managing the cooling state. I do not have this kind of devices so it is not a priority for me.

[Mx-Razvan]

Understood. I'll update and see how is working

[gondiciembre]

Hi there ilcato ! sorry to bother, do you still plan to support Remotec ? thanks for all your work!

[ilcato]

Not without a real device to test

[Mx-Razvan]

Hi ilcato! As i have uninstalled the HCL and the accesories from another location I’m able to send you the spare remotec controler for test if you want. Just let me know

[ilcato]

@Mx-Razvan, sure.

[ilcato]

@Auto-m8r, @gondiciembre, @agisofttm, thanks to @Mx-Razvan that provided me a Remotec device I was able to implement a full Remotec zxt-120 support. I committed the code on GitHub but not published on npm. Please try the new functionality by updating the "dest" directory on your setup. Thanks.

[agisofttm]

@ilcato - Thats a great news - I'll try it as soon as possible 😁

[gondiciembre]

@ilcato I have just tested it and it is working great ! thanks so much for working on this.

[ilcato]

Ok, I'll publish it then
