homebridge-schluter-thermostat v0.1.0

Homebridge Schluter Thermostat

This is a homebridge plugin to control Schluter WiFi thermostats, used for electric in floor heating systems.

Note: This plugin is in the early stages of development and should only be used by those who are comfortable with debugging and troubleshooting.

Compatibility

This plugin has been tested with my own Schluter DITRA-HEAT-E-WiFi thermostat. Schluter thermostats are manufactured by OJ Electronics, who supplies several other companies with similar thermostats. If your thermostat looks like this, then this plugin could likely be made to work with it, although some changes will be necessary.

If you're interested in helping to make this plugin compatible with other brands supplied by OJ Electronics, please open an issue.

Installation and Configuration

Install using Homebridge's UI and searching for the homebridge-schluter-thermostat plugin.

To use this plugin, you will need to have already connected your thermostat to Wifi and registered an account with Schluter. You will also need to have your thermostat serial number which is available in Schluter's web interface or directly on your thermostat by going to Menu, User Settings, Information, View as Text and looking for the Unit Id or Serial field.

Once you have your serial number, you can complete the configuration with the following fields:

• Name: The name of the device as it will appear in HomeKit
• Email: The email address you used to register your thermostat with Schluter
• Password: The password you used to register your thermostat with Schluter
• Serial Number: The serial number of your thermostat

If you have multiple thermostats, you can add multiple instances of this plugin.

Development

Development is aided by a local installation of HomeBridge, with instructions for that found elsewhere.

1. Clone this repository
2. With the homebridge service stopped, run npm link in the repository directory
3. Run npm run watch in the repository directory to reload any changes
