z-wave Heat-it thermostat

NPeters

Is it possible to create an app for the magnum thermostat? I have bought one and it would be great to use the z-wave functionalities with Homey.

Thanks in advance.

Apps for Z-Wave are supported after the Z-Wave rewrite which is due any time now.

True, you could fiddle around with the fibaro app already on github tho.

What i do know (i sell magnum as well ) is that its a rebranded thermostat, they dont make it but just buy some with their own name on it. 

This should be the same i guess: https://www.robbshop.nl/heat-it-wandthermostaat-zwaveplus-zwart
You might find more info to create an app if you search for that device. (and creating z-wave apps aint that hard as far as i have seen)

Okay thank you, once z-wave is supported I'll try the fibaro app. The heat-it thermostat looks the same, so I can imagine Magnum resells it from the Heat It factory.

Maybe I'll try to create an app for this. Is there somewhere a tutorial for creating Z-wave apps for Homey?

With fiddle around with the fibaro app, i meant find out how it works and edit/change/learn to make it work with your thermostat. The fibaro app isn't going to make your device work, and out of the box (without an app) only on/off commands are supported.

I might switch my non-zwave magnum thermostat for one with z-wave in the future. If by then there isn't an z-wave app, i will dig in to it.

Does anyone know how to get this in a Homey app?

Also have a Heatit thermostat for my bathroom. Interested to know if anyone has it working yet?

I tried to connect it using z-wave, but no luck so far.

@NPeters did you succeed in creating an app for the Heat it thermostat?

I would be able to make an app for it, but I don't have the thermostat to debug the app / driver.
Does anyone have one for spare that I could use for debugging?

Unfortunately I did not find the time to create an app yet. My research stopped after looking at comparable apps.

My Heat-It is already attached to the wall. Maybe we can build it together? I'll send you a personal message to get in contact using whatsapp.

I've setup a dedicated Thermo-Floor app - Multireg / Heatit Z-wave thermostat for electrical floor heating topic on this forum where I will follow-up on app development.
