S_HVAC device on vera doesnt set set point to arduino
-
I notice that code has "NewCurrentSetpoint" and wonder whether it should not, instead, be "newCurrentSetpoint" ?

Sorry, I'm new to Lua and vera stuff so I don't understand what I need to do in order to fix it, or to find the error? I know c++ and c# so I familiar with programming but this is something I never done before.
my vera version: 1.7.1320
is this UI7?@leeoz said:

The issue under discussion here is something which definitely needs fixing once and for all by a plugin developer familiar with Lua, and Vera, and UI5, and UI7, and thermostats. I fail on the last point (but can learn) and am taking a look at the issue now, although that certainly doesn't stop anyone else from giving it a go.

The point is that no one actually has a solution right now.
I see two ways forward, described here
http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,27712.msg246892.html#msg246892
And here

The second one requires us to do nothing but wait for a month (so they say) at which time the Vera firmware will be changed to reinstate the missing command.
The first approach is a pragmatic workaround which could be relatively easily coded in the modules I mentioned previously.

L_Arduino.lua I_Arduino1.xml MyMessage.h
So I fixed it with simple fix.
After reading this:
http://forum.mysensors.org/topic/1337/request-new-sensor-type-thermostatically-controlled-switch/2
Attached are the latest lua+xml+h files with the fix I've made.

I finally put together a thermostat device sketch. Unfortunately it got a bit out of hand and I implemented lots of features that most people probably not need.
Not sure if I'm using the V_HVAC_FLOW_STATE and V_HVAC_SETPOINT_HEAT correctly but it seems to work with my Vera UI5 presented as a S_HEATER device.
Here is the sketch in case someone needs it.

Is anyone using Heater device in Vera UI7? Just moved my thermostat to a VeraPlus but it is not quite working correctly. Cant send setpoint value to the device. Sending Heat and Off command works as expected and also status changes are received in Vera. I need to get my z-Wave thermostat moved from my UI5 Veralite to the VeraPlus to do some comparison of the variables used. Then I'll look in to the MySensors GW plugin files if I can find something in need of fixing.

Coincidentally I am working on a thermostat prototype using your code now. I actually just found an error in the Vera files while I was doing some testing. Try uploading the I_Arduino1.xml and L_Arduino.lua to your Vera from here: https://github.com/mysensors/Vera/tree/UI7My "How To" home automation video channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq_Evyh5PQALx4m4CQuxqkA

For some reason the window cover device allso stoped working so I went back to the old file. I dont know why but I suspect that I should update the GW since I dont remember when I updated it an not sure of the version running on it.

@korttoma Wow, that's strange that your window coverings stopped working! I have window coverings and they are working after the update. Maybe updating the gateway is a good idea :)
Are you able to get the logs from the heater device? The window covering messages are 29-31 which are no where near the heater messages which is why this is so strange (to me at least).

@petewill yeah it seems like the GW was completely frozen so i it was not window cover related. I think it froze from the commands I tried to send to the heater (I think the version of the GW is 1.5 so I'm not sure if the HVAC device is handled). I was looking in to updating my GW yesterday but I could not get the 1.5.4 GW to compile using codebender.
Did you already build the thermostat device?
I was thinking should it be presented as HVAC device or is it stil ok to use HEATER like in my example. Hocking up some serial logging to my live thermostat is not something I'm prepared to do, I usually do debugging like this on a smal system at work but I will not have access to this till next week.

Hmm. I always use the arduino IDE and download the code form Github so I'm not sure about this one.

It is currently a work in process. I have an A/C device as well so I'm doing quite a bit of coding for that. I am using the HVAC device instead of the heater device. Heater should still work though I would think.

I have been hapily using codebender for the last 2 years so my IDE vad on v. 1.0.5 witch did not compile either. Updated IDE to 1.6.2 now and it compiles. Maybe I can find time to do the update to night or tomorrow.
