Feature request: Lutron Thermostat (HVAC CONTROLLER) support

[jfinestone]

Would be great to add Lutron Thermostats to this HomeBridge integration. Currently, they are unsupported in Lutron's native HomeKit integration so you have to launch the Lutron superslow app everytime you want to change the mode, temp, fan etc....

Lutron calls its thermostat an HVAC CONTROLLER.

See https://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/040249.pdf Pages labeled 10-11 for the full telnet integration.

Happy (and eager!) to test.

Thanks.

[senorshaun]

Sure that doesn't sound like a bad idea at all, and ive written an hvac plugin before so it should be that hard to hack them together. Only issue is I dont have any HVAC controllers or wireless temp sensors to test, and I dont think I can create phantom ones. How good are you will home bridge debugging and modifying the files? I can write in the new sections, but there may be a bit of troubleshooting we will have to go through

[jfinestone]

That's great - thank you.

I added a "phantom" HVAC Controller and Wireless Temperature Sensor (linked to the phantom) to my program. Telnet integration works decently with the phantom HVAC Controller - albeit with inconsistent responses (as to be expected since there's not actually a device). Should be good enough for you to build the module and test.

I'm available to install, test and integrate with my real HVAC Controllers whenever you're ready - I'm not great at debugging and modifying files, but we could see how far we get and we could always set a time for you to remote-in and see what's going on.

[thecreativeone91]

I have the actual HVAC controller and the temp sensors. I would love support for it.

[jwp2033]

I too would love support for the LR-HWLV-HVAC.

[senorshaun]

Ok I have an update that includes hvac controllers. I dont see anything different about the different types of thermostats, so it should work with all of them. I tested out with a phantom I added to my system, but would one of you be willing to test with a real device for me?

[jfinestone]

Yes. Happy to. Please send me instructions for downloading installing configuring etc.

Awesome. 4 files attached. Go to your node_modules folder and into the homebridge-radiora2 folder. Index.js goes in the root (back up the existing one so you can put it back in to place if testing doesn't work). Radiora2.js goes in the lib folder (back up the existing one as well). hvaccontroller.js and visorcontrolreceiver.js go in the accessories folder inside lib. these are new, nothing to backup. your config now can have a new section within the radiora2 platform (just like "lights" and "keypads")

"hvaccontrollers":[
 {
  "name": "whatever Name You Want",
  "id": <ID from the integration report>,
  "serial": <optional>,
  "model": <optional>
 }
]

If your home bridge crashes, the error message will be super helpful. I loaded in a phantom as I said, but without real data/communication, there could be things I'm missing. New Files.zip

[jwp2033]

Good news is no crashing! Tstat reads 70, home kit says 158 The system control is a bit off too.. I can change it in from off to heat in hk but the tstat changes to off. Cool sets the tstat to heat Changing setpoint in hk has no effect on the tstat.

[senorshaun]

Whoops, wrote it all in Fahrenheit and HomeKit uses celcuis. updated. and I think I fixed the mode. The only thing I'm not sure about is if the thermostat in HomeKit will show that it is currently cooling and currently heating (blue or orange) Replace these 2 files New Files v2.zip

Ugh sorry that was user error. I have it now in home kit and for a about 30 seconds it allowed me to adjust the temp in home kit and it adjusted the tstat, but I set it to 70, the tstat would set to 68. 71 in appl, 69 on stat, Mode works for setting OFF or Heat, but Cool does not change the tstat. Also it seems changes made on the tstat dont seem to update HK. After trying this, the tstat stoped responding to Homebridge. logs: [2/21/2021, 5:06:51 PM] [homebridge-radiora2] This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Heating Threshold Temperature': characteristic was supplied illegal value: number 25.7 exceeded maximum of 25.

Put the serials in quotes, that should get rid of the warning. Hmm the latest change shouldn’t have effected it showing up. Can you check that you have the “hvaccontrollers” spelled right if you removed and added it back from your config.json If you want, you can email your config to shaun @ therowan.house and I can double check it

Any update? Is this working yet? Should I test it? Thanks. …

Doesn't work for me as of yet, even with the latest update. It shows up but it just turns off the HVAC Controller no matter the mode, the set temp doesn't take, and the current temp always shows 32 degrees (it's set to Fahrenheit)

[senorshaun]

Yeah. I couldn't get it working right just with guessing. So I have an LR-HWLV-HVAC on order that I'll hook up to get it tested. Once it gets in here and I get it working properly, I'll get another version uploaded

[senorshaun]

Ok I finally got this hammered out. 1.3.0 has this all working. check the read-me, I added an optional switch called heatOnly for some of you.

[jfinestone]

Hello. Just checking to see if this is all working properly now and I should install it? Thanks.

HI @senorshaun. Thanks for all the work on this- I just wanted to let you know I have been using the integration and it's been great. The HVAC controller is still not working yet; as far as I can tell. I've had no issues with my other devices though. If I can help debugging the HVAC controller, let me know. I can send you over some debug logs. The thermostat device that gets created does not end up controlling the HVAC controller at all and stays stuck at a temp in the Home App
