Still unable to set Thermostat setpoint

[jsimmo]

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:

1. Open reactor.yaml in a text editor.
2. Find the controller configuration section for your Vera (the one containing implementation: VeraController);
3. 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 the logs 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 to false in the new reactor.yaml changes, and leave them in place in case they are needed for another device later.

I tried to reopen PR 0000041on Mantis , but I couldn't see how to attach the file, so have opened a new PR.

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.
