i am pretty new to z-wave and all the technical terms you are using. So please explain in a simple way I recently finished studying business information systems. Therefor i am an “advanced” user.
At first the Informations that could be useful:
Vera 2 with Firmware “the latest version: 1.5.472” - UI5
Danfoss Living Connect (order number: 014G0002 )
I am from the EU (Germany)
Now my usecase is to connect one thermostat (in my bathroom) and to scedule it at 6 am to heat and at 8 am to stop.
[size=12pt]What do i have to do - step by step - to make it work?[/size]
Since you call yourself an “advanced user” you should be able to find all of the necessary informations on the wiki (wiki.mios.com) and with the help of the search function in this forum.
A short overview:
Mount the Danfoss Device to your radiator.
Put the vera into inclusion mode.
Put the Danfoss into inclusion mode.
Create a scene which runs in the morning which turns heating on.
Create a scene which runs in the evening which turns heating off.

Also how did you get firmware 1.5.472? This is not an official release of the firmware let alone a beta firmware.
Thanks for the quick answer and the hint for the “wrong” firmware.
I performed those steps and the device show up in the webinterface (no temperature is shown). But when i change the temperature settings the thermostat does not apply the change (it is not shown in the Display of the termostat).
The Firmware was installed when i got the device. Where/How can i go back to standard? (Where is the correct Firmware that i should flash to make it work?)
I was searching for a link where i could download exactly this version (as it seemed to be the last official release: http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Release_Notes ). What is the worst case that could happen when i am flashing back to standard - away from this strange version?
I bought my device from a private seller in ebay. I dont (yet) understand why this betaversion is installed and where he got it from… :-/
Do you have any hints why the settings (set on vera) are not applied on the thermostat? Will it work when flashing back?
But its not helping me in any way because i do not know how to use these commands or how to configure it to make it work …

Now im laughing out very loud! They sell one Version called 3.02 that does not work with z-wave controllers but the earlier version 2.5 does. They both look similar but the new version has no z-wave … And my reseller did not know it better and sold the one that does not work Though he wrote it in his description …
As far as I can see, there is the “old” 014G0009 and the “new” 014G0012 which actually have the same software right?
I can see on the sticker of the battery cap SW 2.06 which should be the software version right?
I checked the 014G0002 and this has the danfoss software only (no zwave) so I guess thats what went wrong with your order…
@DRuw:
014G0002 exists/existed with more than one firmware version. The newest (3.02) does not work. The older version (2.06) of the same Product does work with z-wave. Compare to this source: http://forum.fibaro.com/viewtopic.php?t=855
Look at the manuals i posted above. There is 014G0002 also described to work with z-wave.

Hi, Just to keep the aforementioned two threads aligned for now - as reports suggest we will have a new 2.50 fw of the Living Connect out very soon, (branded ‘Connect Z’ it seems ). Should this new device works/act differently to the previous 2.06fw, then i think it would be good to have a separate thread running for any discussions around that new unit (rather than risk confusing people who have the older one)
I have got a couple of the new z-versions with fw 2.5.3. They connect easy with Vera but they seem to behave a bit strange. When I change the setpoint it doesnt change at the thermostat even after I get a “transmission ok” message. The SetPointTarget parameter however, changes to the rightvalue in UI5.
I managed to get the setpoint to change once - immediately after configuration.

Any input/suggestions would be much appreciated.[/quote]
It looks like you are the first one that receives these new fw ones and I am not the one that can help you unfortunately but for the others: please post as much information about your adjustments, settings and possible screenshots of the valves in order for all of us to see how they work.
This can help everybody including the betatesters and yourself I think!
do you also have old types of the thermostat (014G0009) in order for you to possibly check the differences?
That would be awesome and you should receive an honourable membership if you do ;D
Im had some correspondance with a dutch shop and they told me that there is a delay can be up to 1,5 hours. But this delay should be constant so you should take that in to account.
You can bypass this if you create a scene based on a schedule.
I dont know this for a fact as my danfoss living connects are on order. I also started a new topic on luup code for this.
