HomeKit Thermostat under 10° Celsius #56

Open CyberChris79 opened 5 years ago

CyberChris79 commented 5 years ago

Hi there,

my Homekit Devices works great with my homebridge and knxd. I am using Sensors and an actor from MDT to control my thermostat, and i realised that i can't switch my Homekit Thermostat under 10° Celsius, but on my MDT Sensor, it's not a problem to do that manually.

Do i have to add one more paramater to my knxd config file or what is the issue?

Thank you very much.

Greetings CyberChris

Hi @CyberChris79 ,
HomeKit is designed "by Apple in California" - So why do you expect temperatures below 10°C ???
But of course you can change min and max of each characteristic:

            "Services": [
                {
                    "ServiceType": "TemperatureSensor",
                    "ServiceName": "Temperatur",
                    "Characteristics": [
                        {
                            "Type": "CurrentTemperature",
                            "Listen": [
                                "0/0/5"
                            ],
                            "MaxValue": 60,
                            "MinValue": -30
                        }
                    ],

Hello snowdd1,

thank you, but it still does not work :( My HomeKit does not let me adjust the temp under 10° Celsius. Do you have another tip?

Thank you Christian
