Thermosmart bankrupt Topic is solved

[rfvdboom]

The thermosmart plugin does not work anymore. On the thermosmart webpage you cant connect to the Domoticz Module anymore. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Thermosmart is bankrupt since may 2023. Is there a workaround? Or do i have to say goodbye to the Thermosmart?

Perhaps you make a reply in this Thermosmart integration topic viewtopic.php?t=5718
Perhaps something changed in the login. I saw that @kiddigital is still using this thermostat and it worked a couple of weeks ago.

It seems that the thermosmart api server is down https://api.thermosmart.com/login
You can try to contact thermosmart support for more info https://www.thermosmart.com/support/

Porblem is that the portal of Thermosmart isnt working anymore. The service is awful. People complaing for a while that Themosmart never reponses.

I think we dont have to explect anything for Thermosmart anymore:

The app is still working so that is one thing.

ThermoSmart was taken over by an other Dutch company Plugwise.

I have contacted their helpdesk.

This is their answer.
Since may they support already the ThermoSmart thermostat and will continue this in the future.
They will contact the customers via email and via their web site http://www.plugwise.com/thermosmart/

All good and well, but will they also support the API? It has been down for over a week now and it doesn't seem like anything is happening.

[rfvdboom]

I send Plugwise a email today with the specific question about the API. When i receive an answer, i will post it here.

[kaashoek]

Here another API user interested to hear if the API will come back

Received a reply today:
"Het klop in der daad dat Plugwise ervoor gekozen heeft ThermoSmart van de curator te kopen. Hiermee hebben wij voorkomen dat alle Thermosmart systemen op zwart zijn gegaan. Plugwise draagt voorlopig de maandelijkse portal kosten hiervoor.
​
Ons development team is momenteel aan het onderzoeken hoe de architectuur van de ThermoSmart samen hangt en hoe dit het beste te interpreteren.
Pas zodra wij betere kennis hebben van het systeem kunnen ​bepalen hoe wij het beste service kunnen verlenen op deze systemen.
​
Wij zijn inmiddels op de hoogte dat de API niet werkt en de app niet meer verkrijgbaar is.

Wij hopen spoedig de zaken onder controle te hebben en met een service, dan wel een voorstel te komen hoe de woningen met een ThermoSmart warmt te houden. "

So they are trying to understand de software architecture . And then make a plan to intergrate it in their own product. Think we have to wait for that.

Nice to know that on Tweakers is a forumpost (in Dutch) about Thermosmart also.

Solution for setting right (winter)time, they suggest to adjust time zone by replacing your city to one timezone east. (Example you live in timezone Amsterdam, change your city to timezone Berlin).

Since yesterday a broken Thermosmart server is reported...

Amsterdam and Berlin are in the same timezone.
Finland, the Baltic States, Belarus, Ukrain and so on are the next stop.

I switched to another device (Honeywell) already, but got a email from Plugwise that then gonna stop with Themosmart support.

Plugwise has since released new firmware for the thermostat so that you can read and control the thermosmart through a web browser if you are on the same local network. There is no cloud service anymore.

I had a look at it and when you go to http://192.168.0.x/thermostat.xml you can easily extract the temperature and setpoint from the xml file. I set up Node-Red to do this. It should also be possible in this way to POST a new setpoint from a dzvents script or a thermostat button in Domoticz to the Thermosmart. I haven't found out how to do this yet. I'm still having trouble grasping how to POST a single value to an xml file that has multiple parameters of which I only want to change one.

[Alain]

I have a script which allows you to use the Thermosmart in Domoticz again. All you need to do is create two devices and use the attached DZVents script. Create a thermostat device and a temperature device. Adjust the script to reflect the idx values in your situation. You also need to adjust the script to your own local IP on which the Thermosmart is addressed.

Code: Select all

return {
    active = true,
    on = {
        devices = { 1119 },  -- Triggered when the thermostat setpoint device changes
        timer = { 'every minute' },  -- Periodically check the server for updates
        httpResponses = { 'fetchDataResponse', 'setPauseResponse', 'setSetpointResponse' }
    },

    execute = function(domoticz, item)
        local setpointIdx = 1119
        local temperatureIdx = 1120
        local url = 'http://10.0.4.174/thermostat.xml'
        
        -- Function to set the setpoint on the server
        local function setSetpointOnServer(setpointValue)
            domoticz.openURL({
                url = url,
                method = 'POST',
                headers = { ['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain' },
                postData = 'svset=' .. setpointValue,
                callback = 'setSetpointResponse'
            })
        end
        
        if (item.isTimer) then
            -- Periodically fetch data from the server
            domoticz.openURL({
                url = url,
                method = 'GET',
                callback = 'fetchDataResponse'
            })

        elseif (item.isDevice) then
            -- If the device (thermostat) setpoint changes, update the server
            local newSetpoint = domoticz.devices(setpointIdx).setPoint
            setSetpointOnServer(newSetpoint)

        elseif (item.isHTTPResponse) then
            if (item.trigger == 'fetchDataResponse') then
                if (item.ok) then
                    local xmlString = item.data
                    local serverTemperature = tonumber(xmlString:match('<temperature>(.-)</temperature>'))
                    local serverSetpoint = tonumber(xmlString:match('<setpoint>(.-)</setpoint>'))

                    -- Update Domoticz temperature device if different
                    local currentTemperature = domoticz.devices(temperatureIdx).temperature
                    if currentTemperature ~= serverTemperature then
                        domoticz.devices(temperatureIdx).updateTemperature(serverTemperature)
                        domoticz.log('Temperature updated from server to ' .. serverTemperature)
                    end

                    -- Update Domoticz thermostat setpoint if it's different
                    local currentSetpoint = domoticz.devices(setpointIdx).setPoint
                    if currentSetpoint ~= serverSetpoint then
                        domoticz.devices(setpointIdx).updateSetPoint(serverSetpoint)
                        domoticz.log('Setpoint updated from server to ' .. serverSetpoint)
                    end

                else
                    domoticz.log('Error fetching data: ' .. item.statusCode, domoticz.LOG_ERROR)
                end

            elseif (item.trigger == 'setSetpointResponse') then
                if item.ok then
                    domoticz.log('Setpoint successfully updated on the server')
                else
                    domoticz.log('Error setting setpoint on the server: ' .. item.statusCode, domoticz.LOG_ERROR)
                end
            end
        end
    end
}

I'm very happy with this. You now have a thermostat which isn't dependent on a cloud function, yet fully programmable through Domoticz. If you change the set-point through Domoticz, it is copied to the thermostat on your wall. If you tap the button on the thermostat to adjust the temperature, it is copied back to the Domoticz device. It works both ways.
