HS/FS My first IP integration > Proliphix thermostat

[Dutchman]

Sorry for not writing in German, but it's not my best language.

I'm a newby on Gira an HS integration and I searched the forum and Gira documentation many times, but I still miss some connections on how to integrate my Proliphix thermostat in HS3.

My goal is to operate the thermostat as a regular KNX thermostat: change to specific temperatures using logik and Visu (such as QuadClient).

This is the HTTP code I need to use to interact:

Get current temeperature (OID 4.1.13):
http://192.168.1.100/get?OID4.1.13=

Will return:
OID4.1.13=795&

In this example 795 is the current temperature in Farhenheit (79,5)

Set new temperature:
http://192.168.1.100/pdp?OID4.1.5=780&submit=Submit

In this example the thermostat will be set to 78,0 F.

So how should I
1) integrate the thermostat to be able to use it as a regular Konnex device? Is there any way I could create variables in IP telegrams to create the correct set commands?

2) How and where should I make the calculation from fahrenheit to celsius? Should I do this at the IP telegram level, or should I build logik to make the calculations?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Dutchman!

If you send an IP telegramm you can choose "Wert als Klartext".
So you can send:
Text: pdp?OID4.1.5=
Wert als Klartext: (IKO with your Temperature)
Text: &submit=Submit
I Think its Better you calculate the °C to °F in the Logic editor....

Thanks for getting me started!

I have now setup the IP commands in separated lines, and created some logic parts to start with:

Now I notice I miss some knowledge on generic KNX and HS3, because I don't know how to get the data I am trying to get and set from the thermostat in to HS3 to show or be used as a regular KNX thermostat. Should I create internal or EIB communication objects to attach to the logic components?

And my other question, how or where can I adjust the timing for the IP telegrams to be fetched from the IP thermostat? It think it is now only fetched on the first load, but to archive the temperature for graphing, I would like to check and archive every 5 minutes.


Sorry for these newbie questions, digging into the HS system this way realy helps me to learn the system. I'm thinking about going to Radevormwald for some training on HS3 and logik building. But I'm not so good with the German language...

Ok, I have got the whole thing running.

Just 1 more problem. When I use QC to set the temperature (+/-), it will send the webabfrage every 0,5C. My thermostat is not capable of receiving too many IP commands at once.

How can I delay the the webabfrage for 5 seconds, and then use the last input?
The only logik I could find was delay or switch delay, but they all use 1-bit, and I only use 16-bit telegrams in my logik. Is there any logik I can use to delay the 16-bit telegram?
