Sinope TH1124ZB

samuel.c.auclair · March 13, 2021, 1:33pm

Not sure if this is the right place to ask my question and I'm still a newby with hubitat. But so far, I've succesfully installed the driver of @kris2k2 and succesfully notify all my thermostats to show the outside temperature with openweathermap. However, I know that it is possible to monitor the energy consumption with these thermostats , but I don't find how to do it as @scoulombe seems to have done. Anyone can help me?

I am able to see the device’s power using @erilaj’s driver (Based on @kris2k2’s):

samuel.c.auclair · March 13, 2021, 7:20pm

I'm also able to see the power variable. But I'm more talking about the energy meter that @scoulombe share from his dashboard.

When I'm trying to install that energy meter, it is written "unknown" for me. More on a long shot, I would like to create a dashboard that will show graph of the energy consumption for all my thermostats. But on my learning curve, I'm not there yet!

Hi @samuel.c.auclair !

I did implement something to measure energy consumption ... I didn't share this code because it's kind of experimental... It was crashing my Zigbee network! I've made some changes and it seems stable now. Contact me in private to get the code. (I guess you also speak french ? )

I went back and forth with Sinope's support on this for a few months. They stated that it was firmware related and by purchasing the GT130, moving the devices to the GT130 and allowing the firmware to update (software updates within 24hrs, firmware takes about a week before it pulls down the update). So I did exactly this, and they still do not show the word OUT. So with software and firmware being the same, the only other thing it can be is hardware, but support could not confirm this.

From the driver source code of @scoulombe and @kris2k2, I have added a new capability which is the energy meter, which I believe allows easier energy monitoring of your electricity consumption for your heating.

That driver is strongly inspired by a driver code that @scoulombe has shared with me privately, but with some improvement. It must be understood that to calculate the energy consumption, the power of the thermostat needs to be read frequently. So depending on how robust is your Zigbee network and how many thermostats you have, it may be overloaded. So, if you are realizing that your Zigbee network is sometimes crashing (or unresponsive), you can adjust the reporting interval (min and max) in the preferences. Larger values with also a larger difference between the min and max value for the reporting will reduce the probability of making your Zigbee network crash, but will also reduce the precision of the energy meter, On my side, with 10 thermostats, values of 60 and 90 seconds, for the minimal interval and maximal interval of reporting works perfectly.

Similar to @kris2k2, the outside temperature is sent to the thermostat by notification. How to do it is explained somewhere in this thread.

So, you can find the driver that I used here:

Also, for the outside temperature, I used that virtual thermometer (will works only in Canada).

It is the first time for me to share publicly a code and my programming skill were acquired almost all by self-learning. So if you see something that can be improved in my code, don't hesitate to bring change.

I know that the heating season is almost finish, but it may be a interesting driver for you for the next winter

Sebastien · April 18, 2021, 6:17pm

I just updated the driver on 3 of my thermostats. I noticed the following error - any ideas what might be causing it?

Also, it sends the “info” log when the temperature gets updated - it would be great if this could be disabled. (I have disabled “trace” logging.)

Thanks for the driver!

samuel.c.auclair · April 18, 2021, 9:03pm

I will look if I can find what cause the error, I will also update the driver so the log info for the temperature can be disable.

samuel.c.auclair · April 18, 2021, 9:59pm

I've updated the driver, so the loggin info when the thermostat is being notified can be disable.

I'm curious to know if anyone else has tried the driver that I've posted and if the mistake happens to several people. If so, I maybe plan to remove it until I find a way yo solve the problem.

nclark · April 18, 2021, 10:41pm

@samuel.c.auclair I was at the cottage this weekend (where I have my Sinope Thermostats) and when I came back I saw this new driver variation, I'll give it a try next time I go there for sure and will report back. But at least you have @Sebastien trying it out, he's real good at reporting problems and all, so if you have bugs, I'm sure he will find them before I have a chance to try it out.

samuel.c.auclair · April 23, 2021, 11:24pm

Ok, Second try. The first code that I share was having some issues when it was not on my hub. So thank to @Sebastien, we went through them. Throughout the process, I've also added a small new feature that will indicate the power capacity of all the heating devices connected to your thermostat. That feature will be in the state variable (your thermostat needs to heat at 100% for at least one time for the variable to appear). Moreover, I believe that my code is now more organized compared to before, which will make it easier if some of you would like to make some changes for your own needs.

Allo I just tryed you code and something didn't work. When I put in the dashboard to thermostat to heat the tile goes red but no arrow to set it up or down. the status in the device thermostatMode : off but thermostatOperatingState : heating
I'm using kris2k2 drivers
Merci

the-leafs · April 25, 2021, 7:46pm

The driver looks great, thanks but... (there is always a but) for some odd reason I cannot get it to control heat via sharptools dashboard after the original setup. I can control it directly from HE but for the life of me cannot figure out the issue between HE and Sharptools.
I loaded your device driver and saved it, selected configure and then reselected the thermostats for sharing between sharptools and HE. One odd thing I saw that differs from the other available drivers is that I had to "calibrate " the temps between what sharptools set the temp at and what the driver thought the temp was. so sharptools thought it was 18 C and the thermostat thought it was 16 C, set the Heatingsetpoint to match and was good to go. If I changed temp at that point on Sharptools It would follow on the thermostat but if I left it for a bit it would stop responding to the sharptools changes. I have reverted to the other driver I was using which is the kris2k2 and all is well. If someone else is experiencing the same issue I have open ears if not, no biggie just an FYI as the present driver serves my needs. Your work is much appreciated and thank you!!

samuel.c.auclair · April 26, 2021, 11:52pm

I'm not sure if you tried my recent code or the one of kris2k2. Let me know.

samuel.c.auclair · April 27, 2021, 12:05am

This is odd. The only guess I have for now is the setting of temperature can be precise to 0.01 in my code compare to 0.1 from the kris2k2. I have changed this rounding for my own need (I control the temperature of one thermostat with another so these two thermostats always heat at a similar PI heating value). To change the rounding to the same of kris2k2, change the value of 2 for 1 in line 366. Let me know if it works.

the-leafs · April 27, 2021, 2:17am

Thank you very much, I will let you know how I make out. going to hop on the sharptools site and see if anyone has seen this with other devices and the dashboard. The sharptools issue has, IMHO, probably nothing to do with your driver but thought I would socialize in case anyone had seen the same results. It works great on a HE dashboard so....
I neglected to say in my first post to you, I really appreciating you sharing this with the community, I am trying to learn as I go and lean on good people like yourself to keep my fun home project going. Your generosity is what makes this a fun community.
Cheers
Bob

josh · April 27, 2021, 2:27am

Have you checked the logs to see what values are getting sent over and how the driver is interpreting those?

carrier.remi · April 27, 2021, 3:09am

I'm testing with your v2 and no go on the dashboard not able to off when in heat mode and when off doesn't turn to heat do come on red but nothing else

the-leafs · April 27, 2021, 3:17am

Josh, are you referring to myself, if so, the values between sharptools commands and the device itself?
If so I will check it out when I try again this weekend.

josh · April 27, 2021, 2:51pm

Yes. I would make sure that you're seeing the commands you expect to get sent across with the values you expect to get sent across... and then look at how the driver is handling those.

It would be helpful to take a look the relevant logs and screenshots of what you are seeing in the device details / SharpTools thermostat tile.

I would note that this driver appears to be using the older 'Thermostat' monocapability which means for the SharpTools Thermostat tile to send across the setHeatingSetpoint() command, it depends on the 'thermostatMode' properly being reported as 'heat'.

Edit: You might have to the flip the logging switch on in the SharpTools 'app' in Hubitat to see which commands / values are coming across from your SharpTools dashboards.
