Still unable to set Thermostat setpoint
-
Just to let you know that I've updated to version 21054, but the added basic support for generic thermostats still does not allow me to set the current setpoint for either my Horstmann Thermostat or the Auto Virtual Thermostat.
Well, AVT is a plugin and does not use the standard thermostat device in Vera, so that's expected. I don't know about the Horstmann thermostat.
To get some visibility into the Horstmann, please look in the Entities list to find the Reactor's device ID for it. Then go and edit your
reactor.yaml
file as follows:- Open
reactor.yaml
in a text editor. - Find the controller configuration section for your Vera (the one containing
implementation: VeraController
); - In the
config
section, append the following (other elements shown for context and to guide proper indentation):
controllers: - id: vera # your other vera controller keys are here config: source: http://whatever:3480 dump_entity: <----- add this line device_XXX: true <----- and this line
Make sure you only use spaces for indenting, not tabs, and that you indent exactly as shown (each next level indent is exactly two spaces from the parent level).
The restart Reactor. After it restarts, it will put a file called (for example)
vera-device_XXX.json
in thelogs
subdirectory. Please open a PR at Mantis if you haven't already, and then attach this file to the PR (you may need to ZIP it, or change its suffix to.txt
to allow it to be uploaded).When that's done, you can just change the
true
tofalse
in the newreactor.yaml
changes, and leave them in place in case they are needed for another device later. - Open

That's better. When a device class isn't supported, it will always be the case that exceptions come up. For the record/readers here, @jsimmo 's problem is that his device isn't a Vera thermostat, it's a Vera heater, different device type (although almost identical UI, so who would know?). So I now need to add Heater support as well.
