EQ-3 bluetooth radiator thermostat Domoticz control

[inzuno]

Hello,

I brought some EQ-3 bluetooth radiator thermostat and I wanted to control it with Domoticz.
But I had some issues pairing bluetooth on my PI so I post here my method.

First you need to download this script: https://github.com/Heckie75/eQ-3-radiator-thermostat
put it in a folder (in this example home/pi/eq3) and follow instructions of initial setup in readme.
Go in the folder where you put the script and try to run the command.

Code: Select all

./eq3.exp

if you can read the help, it's ok.

After we need to pair the device, I didn't manage to pair with the initial setup of the scrip.
Here is my method:
start bluetooth control

Code: Select all

bluetoothctl

set controller to be pairable

Code: Select all

pairable on

discover devices

Code: Select all

scan on

You should see MAC address with name CC-RT-BLE write it down or copy to clipboard to pair the device.
Set radiator thermostat in pairing mode by long press the center button until you see PAIr
(The code displayed after is a fake, don't pay attention to it)
Pair the device on the Pi with the command:

Code: Select all

pair MAC_CC-RT-BLE

If pairing is successful the device is permanently connected and we need to disconnect it to be usable:

Code: Select all

disconnect MAC_CC-RT-BLE

disable pairable mode

Code: Select all

pairable off

exit bluetooth control

Code: Select all

quit

Now you go in the script folder and play:

Code: Select all

./eq3.exp MAC_CC-RT-BLE sync

You can see thermostat status?
Cool! But we still don't have control in Domoticz...

So I created a dummy selector switch and put this in selector actions:

Code: Select all

0	script:///home/pi/eq3/eq3.exp MAC_CC-RT-BLE temp 5.0
10	script:///home/pi/eq3/eq3.exp MAC_CC-RT-BLE temp 17.5
20	script:///home/pi/eq3/eq3.exp MAC_CC-RT-BLE temp 18.0
30	script:///home/pi/eq3/eq3.exp MAC_CC-RT-BLE temp 18.5
40	script:///home/pi/eq3/eq3.exp MAC_CC-RT-BLE temp 19.0
50	script:///home/pi/eq3/eq3.exp MAC_CC-RT-BLE lock
60	script:///home/pi/eq3/eq3.exp MAC_CC-RT-BLE unlock
70	script:///home/pi/eq3/eq3.exp MAC_CC-RT-BLE boost
80	script:///home/pi/eq3/eq3.exp MAC_CC-RT-BLE boost off

\o/

If anyone could make a plugin to have a nice thermostat switch for this it would be really nice

As i'ts my first new post, if there is any mistake or better ways to do what I did, please don't yell at tell me!

Edit file thermo-livingroom.sh write MAC adresse of yours EQ3
than make a dummy selector switch and put this in selector actions:

Code: Select all

0	            script:///home/pi/eq3/thermo-livingroom.sh temp  5.0
10	            script:///home/pi/eq3/thermo-livingroom.sh temp 17.5
20	            script:///home/pi/eq3/thermo-livingroom.sh temp 18.0
30	            script:///home/pi/eq3/thermo-livingroom.sh temp 18.5
40	            script:///home/pi/eq3/thermo-livingroom.sh temp 19.0
50	            script:///home/pi/eq3/thermo-livingroom.sh lock
60	            script:///home/pi/eq3/thermo-livingroom.sh unlock
70	            script:///home/pi/eq3/thermo-livingroom.sh boost
80	            script:///home/pi/eq3/thermo-livingroom.sh boost off

For me its working fine
