So.. when firm .2 is released my E5 error will be gone? When is this update planned? It's getting cold here and there
I found out that de danfoss lc13 is able to have programs/schedules running himself. So i can program the temperature per day. But i do not see how i can do that on the device itself. Looks like it has to be done with some sort of tool. Does anyone know how i can do that?
Also i saw the video on this page
https://www.myhomecenter.nl/webshop/z---wave/danfoss/detail/313/danfoss-living-connect-radiator-thermostaat-lc-13.html
My danfoss does not look exactly the same if i compare the LCS, i don't have a time and date to set. Is this an other version?
Hope someone can help me out
On what firmware are you, because other users report that they can use the lc13 with the latest firmware.
But when i put it in the livingroom it does nog work anymore. The radiator valves are on the second floor. Stupid thing is that before the zwave re-write it worked perfectly.
Also the danfoss app does not work very good either. Because when you set the temperature and then again set it, it does not show you at what temp you had set it before. That is not very intiutive. You have to wait until the radiator had got the value. He should show you the temp which you have set it to be.
So i hoped that they would fix it, but does not seem to be @Robert ;
has contacted me, but after giving him the results of my test, he did not respond anymore. So i don't know if they are working on it. My valves are useless right now.
That is why i asked the question how i can program the build in scheduler of the danfos lc13. And does anyone know why my danfos lc13 does not have a date/time function on the display, and the one in the link does have that?
Anyone knows when Homey will be able to get rid of the E5 error?
If you can't wait you could change to experimental, but be aware that there is a bug that could disable your homey when updating at the moment ( it is not hard to repair it on your own but you need some know-how)
I have the danfoss living connect, which is not exactly the same as the danfoss lc-13 i think. But then again, it worked perfect with the old zwave classes.
Can anyone comfirm that their Danfoss LC13 has time and date option in the LCD display?
I see this picture and video on this website:
https://www.myhomecenter.nl/webshop/z---wave/danfoss/detail/313/danfoss-living-connect-radiator-thermostaat-lc-13.html
But at robshop i see a total other danfoss. Which one is the correct one?
The first one, seems nicer te me, the second looks like de one i have now (lc12).
For our devices (Danfoss/Devolo) it is possible to set a schedule, but it has to be done through the controller. Homey in our case.
This is done through the command class COMMAND_CLASS_CLIMATE_CONTROL_SCHEDULE.
Currently there is no UI available within Homey for that command class. The only way setting the schedule would be possible now, is by adding that functionality to the App. I'm looking into that for the Devolo device.
By the way, there is an advantage to set the schedule: in that case the device learns based on room size, radiator size, surrounding temperature, when to turn on the heating so that the setpoint temperature is available at the defined time in the schedule.

My Homey Status:
Systeem Informatie
Homey Firmware Versie: 1.0.3
I have removed all LC-13 from the radiators and have them gathered rather close to the Homey.
I think I see random behaviour in E-5's across 4 LC-13 that are about 1 meter away form each other and about 2 meters away from Homey. 2 units are OK, two are not.
My first question:
What it correct, E-5 is triggered by the fact that the Z-wave controller cannot be reached or is not answering correctly? While giving this error message I cannot see on the display or a temperature change is executed, unclear what happens under the surface.
Second question:
Can I monitor this in any way on Homey doing a debug of the Zwave network for a certain time to see messages coming in?
And off course....
The mother of all questions: how to solve this?
Thanks for any suggestion.
Perhaps this is because I added the pollInterval to the driver as per @RobinBolscher 's comment in https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/1054, which is not in the driver for Danfoss atm.
I have finally succeeded in coupling my LC 13. I use flows to set the temperature to day and night values at certain times and that works. After a while I get E5 on the display, but that does not bother me. For now I am satisfied that Homey is now my Z-Wave controller.
It was a problem coupling the LC13 because before Homey arrived I used a Aeotec Z-stick in my portable PC to control the temperature cycle of the LC13 and that had to be completely undone before Homey could couple. Now I can sell my Z-Stick.
What is the distance between homey and your lc13 valves? And do you have other zwave stuff which repeats the signal?
At my place the valves are on the second floor, so about 7 meters and 2 wooden floors away. Since the new zwave rewrite it does not work anymore. Only when i put the homey on the second floor itself. So it seems to me that the signal is weaker since the zwave rewrite. I have no other zwave device, yet.
I am curious if your situation is more or less the same
It drives me nuts....
For me the E5 is annoying, aswell. But if you don't change the temperature manually and use Homey instead, it shouldn't bother you that much. The setpoints are recieved correctly as far as I know.
