Did you use the right order?
Switch first, then the thermostat? Using the L mode?
Did you reset the thermostat to the defaults before you started?

I think you should be a bit more clear in the steps you made so we can understand what and where it goes wrong.
Did you read Maartens blog for the crucial bits and pieces?

Looking at the error it seems you did not keep the Thermostat in L mode while importing from the stick.
In L mode HS can find it, otherwise it goes in sleep mode for minutes.

Hello and thanks for the replay

I think I used the correct order first ASR than HRT
I used the L mode with the L flashing during the import into HS

What do you mean by "reset the thermostats to the defaults"

I've have read Maartendamen blog to the dot

Thanks for any help

By the way is there any alternative in EU to this thermostst

What type of stat do you guys use that works with HomeSeer

I am using the Horstmann to control my floorheating pump (220v).THe switch is just a relay you can use for anything.
Scheduling via Homeseer events works perfect.
Just waiting for HS to get it really supported as a Thermostat.

Hello
I am new to domotics.
Since this toys are quite expensive I am planning to start with a aeon zwave 2 stick, a switch from fibaro and a thermostat from horstmann

I have a doubt: I see that the thermostat is sold either "standalone" or with a receiver module. do I need thi receiver module or can I just substitute my current traditional thermostat with the hrst?

Further question: if later I plan to introduce danfoss valves on radiators how do this play together with Te thermostat?

Ty in advance for your advice

Did anyone try the Horstmann HRT4-ZW with the Domotiga software?

[uAlex73]

The open-zwave supports the Hortsmann, but the thermostat functions aren't available yet in DomotiGa (it is on my todo list).

Does anyone know how to set the set point? What z-wave command does it need to get?

Currently I can read the temperature from the thermostat. It is reported in my software, Domotiga. However, I am not able to set the set point, yet.

[uAlex73]

DomotiGa can't do it yet, but you can see the temperature and i think you can do a basic on/off. I will investigate the setpoint option very soon, after i have finished the new OpenZWave wrapper.

Hi all, Any News on this?

I've got a HRT4 and would love to run domotiga. So I'd love to know when this will be working.

[uAlex73]

It isn't support yet, but i will try to get the code into DomotiGa this january 2013.

[davidmit]

That will be great, I look forward to it

Anybody here with a Horstmann HRT4-ZW and using DomotiGa? I want to add support to DomotiGa, but i need information (what is detected and how it is shown in open-zwave & the wrapper) and somebody who can test the new code.
