Tests:

siro-thermostat adapter for ioBroker

This adapter allows you to integrate WiFi Thermostats from SIRO into ioBroker. Basically, it should be possible to integrate those devices with the tuya adapter.

tbh.. I did not try to use the tuya adapter, because it looked overkill for my usecase, so a new adapter was born :)

Adapter Configuration

reconnect timeout: Define the time interval in seconds before the adapter tries to reconnect to a device, that was not able to connect initially or that lost connection inbeetween.

Devices: You have to add your devices to the adapter manually, therefore you have to insert the device id and local key. Version should always stay 3.3 Friendly name is for easy identification of your device.

see how to extract local key

Hint: If you reset your device (i.e. when changing your wifi settings) a new device id and local key is generated and your have to repeat the extraction.

Some personal notes on this project

I was looking for thermostats for changing our existing ones for smart thermostats. There had been some requirements that the new thermostats had to fulfill.

• Thermostats need to fit our existing frames (AS Jung series)
• Integratable to ioBroker without another kind of hardware (IoT hub/gateway)
• no cloud connection

The main reason for changing our existing thermostats is not primarily that I want to have smart ones. Imho, there is no need for smart thermostats when using floor heating, BUT as our thermostats are so close to light switches we often accidentily adjust the settings.

There is not a lot of choice when looking for thermostats with these requirements.

The ioBroker requirement is solved by creating this adapter. :) The "no cloud" requirement is solved using the cloud connection for initial device setup. After that is finished, you can block internet traffic in your firewall settings / router settings. Ofc, this part is optional. I prefer keeping the smart devices local only. There are other possibilites to control them over the internet like VPN.

Current Version

Changed

• configured devices are listed as channels on the top most possible hierarchy (adapter.X.DeviceId)

Removed

• "device" channel

For a detailed change log see Changelog

Out of scope

Currently it is not planned to support weekly programs using device native functions. We can make use of iobroker for that. Have a look at the calender adapter or implement scheduling yourself with the javascript adapter.
