Device layout to display properly in HS Mobile?

rjh - any help on this? jseer ? It's been more than a month, and customers are waiting!

I don't know what the issue, how about you send me your HSD file with a thermostat configured and I will take a look at the device config.

When you change a set point, is your plugin SetIO function called?

When you change a set point, is your plugin SetIO function called?

Not sure what you mean? HS calls SetIOMulti which is used by my plugin to send the value to the thermostat.

rjh I have two problems (see post #29)

One problem is - in HSMobile the thermostat root device states are not displayed (i.e. Standby, Normal, etc.) and there's no controls to set the state. But for the plugin root device it works as expected.

And another problem is the error "Cannot control thermostat. There is a problem with the set-point control configuration."

So its working ok in the HS web UI, but not in HSMobile? If you send me your HSD file with a thermostat configured I might be able to find the issue.

Ok, I see that you posted the HSD file, I will have a look at it.

[rjh]

For your thermostat setpoint device set the subtype to: Heating_1

Public Enum eDeviceSubType_Setpoint
Invalid = 0
Heating_1 = 1
Cooling_1 = 2
Furnace = 7
Dry_Air = 8
Moist_Air = 9
Auto_Changeover = 10
Energy_Save_Heat = 11
Energy_Save_Cool = 12
Away_Heating = 13
End Enum

It looks like you are using your own subtype for that, but we already have one defined that you must use.

I currently see:

Thermostat API, Type: Thermostat Setpoint, SubType: NeoStat Set Temperature

For your modes, move them to a child device. Root devices with controls will be problematic and is not allowed in HS4. And since this sounds like a new plugin, it will work better in HS4 if the modes are on a child device.

Thermostat API, Type: Thermostat Setpoint, SubType: NeoStat Set Temperature

It is Heating_1 = 1 (How do you know I'm using your own subtype - this is just int isn't it?)

bool created = Create($"NeoStatSetTemp-{zone}",
            force: false,
            type: "akHeatmiserNEO Setpoint",
            Device_API: eDeviceAPI.Thermostat,
            Device_Type: (int)eDeviceType_Thermostat.Setpoint,
            Device_SubType: (int)DeviceSubtype.stat_setpoint, // eDeviceSubType_Setpoint.Heating_1
            Device_SubType_Description: "NeoStat Set Temperature"
            );

public enum DeviceSubtype
{
    hub_root = 0,
    hub_heatmode = 1,
    stat_root = 2,
    stat_setpoint = eDeviceSubType_Setpoint.Heating_1,
    stat_temperature = eDeviceSubType_Temperature.Temperature,
    stat_floortemp = eDeviceSubType_Temperature.Other_Temperature,
    stat_holdtemp = eDeviceSubType_Setpoint.Away_Heating,
    stat_standbytemp = eDeviceSubType_Setpoint.Away_Heating,
    stat_mode = 5,
    stat_batt = 7,
    stat_battery = 10,
    stat_plug = 11,
}

So Device Type is 6 and device subtype is 1, is it correct?

[alexbk66]

For your modes, move them to a child device. Root devices with controls will be problematic and is not allowed in HS4. And since this sounds like a new plugin, it will work better in HS4 if the modes are on a child device. Why does it work for NeoHubRoot, but not NeoStatRoot? What's the difference? ...

[alexbk66]

since this sounds like a new plugin

It's not a new plugin - it's a problem reported recently for HSMobile only...

[alexbk66]

Both SetPoint and state controls work from the ThermoStat details screens, but not from the main widget

What do I tell my users? That HST can't sort this out? It's clearly a problem in your HSMobile code, you should be able to find what's causing the error in your own code?

If not - please provide the source code to me. But this it just ridiculous.

[rjh]

I just don't have time right now to analyze what is going on, I HAVE to get HS4 out the door. I am sorry I don't have a quick answers for you but I am trying to help the best I can. If you can run the sample plugin and see if that works ok it has a thermostat implementation in it. If that works, you can base your plugin off those devices.

Also, did you try moving all your controls to child devices? I strongly suggest that you do that as it will not work going forward if you have any controls on root devices. Maybe that will get it going.

Your device types look correct for the set point I guess its just your description that is coming through in the UI, which is not going to be an issue.

I looked at the Z-Wave plugin and pulled the code that creates the device types for the child devices. I don't see anything different here from what you are doing, but just in case, this is what we do:

Case Types.COMMAND_CLASS_THERMOSTAT_FAN_MODE
                        DT.Device_API = DeviceTypeInfo.eDeviceAPI.Thermostat
                        DT.Device_Type = DeviceTypeInfo.eDeviceType_Thermostat.Fan_Mode_Set
                        DT.Device_SubType = 0
                        DT.Device_SubType_Description = "Fan Mode"

                    Case Types.COMMAND_CLASS_THERMOSTAT_FAN_STATE
                        DT.Device_API = DeviceTypeInfo.eDeviceAPI.Thermostat
                        DT.Device_Type = DeviceTypeInfo.eDeviceType_Thermostat.Fan_Status
                        DT.Device_SubType = 0
                        DT.Device_SubType_Description = "Fan Status"

                    Case Types.COMMAND_CLASS_THERMOSTAT_MODE

                        DT.Device_SubType = 0
                        DT.Device_SubType_Description = "Mode"

                    Case Types.COMMAND_CLASS_THERMOSTAT_OPERATING_STATE
                        DT.Device_API = DeviceTypeInfo.eDeviceAPI.Thermostat
                        DT.Device_Type = DeviceTypeInfo.eDeviceType_Thermostat.Operating_State
                        DT.Device_SubType = 0
                        DT.Device_SubType_Description = "Operating State"

                    Case Types.COMMAND_CLASS_THERMOSTAT_SETBACK
                        DT.Device_API = DeviceTypeInfo.eDeviceAPI.Thermostat
                        DT.Device_Type = DeviceTypeInfo.eDeviceType_Thermostat.Setback
                        DT.Device_SubType = 0
                        DT.Device_SubType_Description = "Setback"

                    Case Types.COMMAND_CLASS_THERMOSTAT_SETPOINT
                        DT.Device_API = DeviceTypeInfo.eDeviceAPI.Thermostat
                        DT.Device_Type = DeviceTypeInfo.eDeviceType_Thermostat.Setpoint
                        DT.Device_SubType = CI.ccs_Type
                        Dim m As ZW_Thermostat_Setpoint_Set_Type = CI.ccs_Type
                        Dim s As String = m.ToString
                        s = Replace(s, "_", " ")
                        If s.ToLower.StartsWith("v") Then
                            s = s.Substring(3)
                        End If
                        DT.Device_SubType_Description = s

Thank you Rich rjh .

What "Sample Plugin" do you mean?

Regarding the error I'm getting "Cannot control thermostat. There is a problem with the set-point control configuration." - Can you please check in your code when it's displayed? May be this will give some clue. But I don't think it's related to "moving all your controls to child devices" in any way.

End If
DT.Device_SubType_Description = s

I looked at Z-Wave code too, what I couldn't work out, which is an important bit.

DT.Device_SubType = CI.ccs_Type

public byte ccs_Type
{
    get
    {
        return mvarSomeType;
    }
