Hello Antor

Ca ne fonctionne pas chez moi :wink:
It doesnt work at my home. When i add the fibaro module it comes into 3 modules. Seems to be one master module and two under it, one for each realy. Which id do i add in your plugin ? Where ? Can you do a tutorial for dumb users as me ?

Thank you very much Antor !

French :
Comme tu peux le voir sur la première capture d’écran, dans l’onglet “Advanced”, il faut indiquer les “id” de chacun des deux switch qui sont connectés sur ton fil pilote. dans le paramètre “SwitchPositive” tu dois renseigner l’id du switch qui laisse passer l’alternance positive et dans “SwitchNegative” l’id du switch qui laisse passer l’alternance négative. Si tu ne sais pas le quel est le quel, il suffit de faire le test :wink: en cas d’inversion la commande “Arret” et “Hors gel” seront inversées (Confort et Eco restant valides meme en cas d’inversion).

English :
On first screen, in Advanced tab, there is to parameters :
SwitchPositive : put the Switch ID with de diode that let pass the positive part
SwitchNegative : put the Switch ID with de diode that let pass the negative part

In case of inversion between positive and negative IDs, only the “Shutdown” and “Frost free” order will be inverted

you’re welcome

Thank you very much Antor for your fast answer. Of course i opened the attached picture, but i dunno where my mind was… I didn’t see the negative and positive switch fileds…

Now everything works fine !

Thanks again for your plugin.
I will try to modify the label of the buttons in the json file to have them in french. I don’t know if it’s going to work or not …

Here is the french .json file for french buttons :wink:

Edit: v0.6

Hi Antor,

What a great job ! Your application is really helpfull… ;D

I have a question about the Fibaro. As describe by milillicuti when I add my Fibaro to my Vera I can see actually 3 devices. I understand that 2 of them are switches, but what is the goal of the third one? ??? And how to simply identify each device?

In case of inversion between positive and negative IDs, only the "Shutdown" and "Frost free" order will be inverted

My radiator is very basic. How can I see if Shutdown - Frost free are inverted? I just have a led for the thermostat! Really really basic!

I hope you can help me, I’m sure that I’m really close to pull it off! 8)

Merci pour ton aide et bon courage pour la suite :wink:

Hi Antor,

This plugin work like a charm.
I would like to shutdown automatically the heathers when a door/window is opened with a combinaison switch (this is a easy part).

Now issue is to make this reliable, because if I set a timer before the header goes to last position and if the door/windows is opened / closed a second time, then… This is an issue.

I was thinking to make a plugin, but maybe you have made something on your end for that ?

Regards,
Xavier

I was using version 1.1 from the app store.
This version has a bug in the JSON file leading to the usual plugin UI to not be displayed in UI7.
The device type defined at the bottom of the JSON file is just wrong.
You can find attached to this post a fixed version of the JSON file. After applying this patch, the plugin is working well in UI7.

Just remains something strange but not specific to UI7: the plugin seems to define a different icon depending on the state. It looks like the icons are missing (maybe not published in the store ?). Even in UI5, I never saw different icons.

Hi,

thanks for the trick for UI7 compliance.
Concerning the icons, it works for me on UI5, I’ve always had 4 differents icons depending on the status.

This is my main plugin, and I was waiting for a solution to migration to UI7, I might try now.

OK, I should try a new install from the marketplace.

Note that icon management will not work in UI7 until someone provides a fix. I would have done it when I was running UI7 but strangely I found no trace of the icons.

Hi
Can this plugin be used with Philio 2 relay switch?

I have installed the pluggin Pilot Wire on my vera edge in UI7 and i don’t see Switchpositive and SwitchNegative zone.

Thanks Lolo !
I just submited your file version on apps store, waiting for approval.

Icon worked well on my version, but maybe not with new release… all icon are hosted in my website :

Last year, it wasn’t work at all with posting icon to the store … if you know a proper way (or at least a working way ;)) … mail me (contact at antor dot fr )
