TH10/16 device as full thermostat

[urmo53]

Hello again

th10 works as a temperature sensor and switch separately also, but if i set my th10 as a thermostat but it doesn't work. it also does not show the current temperature it shows that 0.0

I tried it on both Hoobs and Homebridge, both with the latest version.

I also use the latest Ewelink plugin

here is the log after i turned th10 into a thermostat

Hi @urmo53 please try the just released v3.17.3

[urmo53]

Unfortunately still can't read the temperature. it is still 0.0
but switching the "thermostat" works.

[urmo53]

now does not display the temperature at all even if it is not set to thermostat

[bwp91]

And are you sure the temperature just doesn't happen to be 0.0 right now? 😛

Can I message you directly on my discord channel?

Reopening this as it may be possible now!

[bwp91]

A fully working implementation of using a TH10/16 device as a thermostat is now available in the latest beta.

You can use the home app to choose a target temperature and the plugin will automatically turn ON the switch if the current temperature falls below this target temperature. The plugin will turn OFF the switch once the current temperature reaches the target temperature.

The plugin will use and setup the 'Auto' mode of the eWeLink app to do the above.

This can be useful if you have a heater connected to the TH device.

The previous configuration option thAsThermostat has been removed, and the thermostat can now be set up using an Accessory Simulation (via the Homebridge UI) or by adding directly to your config.json in the ewelink section:

"groups": [
   {
      "deviceId": "1000#####",
      "type": "thermostat"
   }
]

Please remember this is still experimental (I continue to test this myself with my new TH16) but any feedback would be great!
