Is your room thermostat in error as well?? 'f' in display or no display at all?
If you use the otmonitor does it run for more than 1 week without errors??

I haven't checked it, but I doubt it. The problem is always fixed when restarting the Raspberry Pi, so I suppose the OTGW is still running fine.
As a workaround I have put a wireless switch on the powerline of the Pi which turns off at 03:00 and turns on at 03:01.
I know it''s a very dirty solution.

Very interesting to read everyones stories and to read that there is so much support for the OTGW.
I got one because of that, unfortunately the main reason why I bought it is also the reason I am posting here.
I can't change the room setpoint.
I have a Remeha Avanta Boiler and a Remeha Qsense thermostat.
I have installed the latest firmware (4.2.5) on the OTGW using the Open Therm Monitor.
I can change the water temprature of my Central Heating and that of the normal hot water.
I can read all data from the Boiler but I can't seem to be able to change the room setpoint.
I get Read-Data and Read-Acks in the log.
I also see Write-Data and Write-Acks in blue in the log.
Could anyone help me troubleshoot this problem?
I tried to set the setpoint to 0 and then changing it as I read that there was a bug with the remeha Isense thermostats and this would be a workaround but this also doesn't work.

1. I suppose you have given the iSense setting? FT=I
See:
http://otgw.tclcode.com/firmware.html#configuration
2. You have override enabled in your iSense?
3. Something else what could be a problem, maybe you have a old iSense version with a older firmware which isn't working. If that's the problem you can buy a recent iSense on marktplaats.

The thing is.. I don't have an Isense, I have a less common Qsense.
(Which is also opentherm but doesn't have the clock feature.)

Just buy an iSense for 50 euros from Marktplaats and you'll be fine. I just did the same, got a iSense with v28 firmware.
By the way, in case if someone is interested: i made my OTGW connected to the LAN for cheap ($11) with a USR-TCP232 serial to Ethernet, see the topic:

Those thermostats cost 160 euros.
yes, I checked marktplaats like you said, they are at least 50 second hand.
Still money doesn't grow on trees.
I uploaded my log to the equipment matrix on the OTGW website so it now my thermostat also shows up there.
Anyhow, there must be an explanation why the setpoint override functionality is not available for that particular thermostat.
I can't stand these things... especially if I don't have a clear explanation as to why it doesn't work.

As far as I know the old software simply doesn't contain the code that responses on the override command that is send.
Maybe you can find someone that is willing to trade with you. If you don't have an OTGW there is no difference.
Besides that, if you buy one, you can sell yours for the same price...

What kind of command is send to the OpenTherm Gateway when i change the thermostat setpoint?
As far i can see there are two options:
TT=temperature
Temperature, Temporary - Temporarily change the thermostat setpoint. The thermostat program will resume at the next programmed setpoint change. Values between 0.0 and 30.0 are allowed. A value of 0 indicates no remote override is to be applied.
Examples: TT=19.5, TT=0
TC=temperature
Temperature, Constant - Change the thermostat setpoint. The thermostat program will not change this setting. Values between 0.0 and 30.0 are allowed. A value of 0 cancels the remote override.
Examples: TC=16.0, TC=0

'TT' is used, see:

https://github.com/contactless/domoticz ... P.cpp#L175 (TCP/IP connected OTGW)

Hmm, my thermostat (Honeywell Round Modulation) only supports a constant setpoint (so the TC command) (see also:
http://www.domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic.p ... c192558a20)
Can it be made possible to change the TT in TC somewhere in the Domoticz panel?
Or can i change the OTGWSerial.cpp myself so that it will send the TC command?

+1 for the TC option. As you can read above my thermostat requires it.

Hi
is there any update on this? i also would like to +1 for the TC option.

Today I switched over from DomotiGa to Domoticz and I had the same issue with my thermostat, I simply edited the following file and recompiled Domoticz because my Thermostat only wants a TC command (and never a TT):
hardware/OTGWBase.cpp
Find:
Code: Select all
sprintf(szCmd, "TT=%.1f\r\n", temp);
Replace with:
Code: Select all
sprintf(szCmd, "TC=%.1f\r\n", temp);
And recompiled Domoticz after that. Hope they'll make an selectable option for this within Domoticz in a future release.
Results:
Code: Select all

I know some Wireless Honeywell thermostats suffer from the incapability to remotely overwrite the room setpoint.
Unfortunately I was unable to verify this for your thermostat.

I also have a remeha boiler (dont know the exact model) and a honeywell round wireless modulation thermostat.
I can confirm that setting the temporary setpoint (TT command) is not working all of the time (mostly not)
I try to get domoticz to sent a TC command (Constant temprature) to see if this fix the problems. But would be great if a select box (for sending TT or TC command) would be implemented.

Does this TC work for you when using otmonitor?? Does that solve the issue??

Not tryed the TC command yet. I will see if i have some time to test it this weekend.

I tried it via the TC command in the otmonitor and can confirm it was working. Perhaps it would be good if you execute the same test this weekend -:)
