Hey everyone, I’ve been exploring openHAB lately and came across something interesting. I’ve been trying to set up my Fibaro radiator thermostats, but I’m hitting a few roadblocks. I wanted to share my experience and see if anyone else has encountered similar issues or has some tips to share.
First off, I love the idea of having smart thermostats that I can control from my phone or through openHAB. The Fibaro thermostats are great in terms of functionality, but integrating them into my openHAB setup has been a bit tricky. I found out that openHAB can’t directly access both the setpoint and the temperature readings from the same device because they come from different sources. This means I have to create separate tiles for each radiator, which is a bit cumbersome, especially since I have 20 of them!
I managed to create individual tiles for each radiator, but then I ran into another issue with the heating schedule override functionality. It just doesn’t seem to work as expected. I’ve tried using the Fibaro API to set an override schedule, but I’m not getting the results I want. For example, when I try to set the temperature to 25°C for 4 hours and 30 minutes, it doesn’t apply consistently across all devices.
I’m wondering if this is a limitation of the Fibaro devices themselves or if there’s something I’m missing in my openHAB configuration. Has anyone else successfully integrated Fibaro thermostats with openHAB and managed to override schedules? I’d love to hear about your setups and any workarounds you’ve discovered.
On a lighter note, despite the challenges, I’m really enjoying the process of learning about openHAB and smart home automation. It’s been a great way to get more hands-on with technology and create a home environment that truly suits my needs. I’m hopeful that with some more research and maybe a bit of trial and error, I’ll be able to get everything working smoothly.
If anyone has any tips, tricks, or success stories about integrating Fibaro thermostats with openHAB, I’d be thrilled to hear them! Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other out as we navigate this exciting world of smart home automation.
