Hi, I am trying use the VThermo app to control a panel heater using a temperature sensor and smart plug. I have no problems setting it up so that the “thermostat” reads the temperature from the sensor. However, when I try to change what is plugged into the smart plug to heather (I have tried two different ones), I get this error message “device:%20should%20be%20string%20(%23/properties/note/type)”. The “thermostat” does not turn on/off the smart plug when it is defined as a generic smart plug.
Thanks for letting me know. I have tried searching for a thread about this, but I could not really find anything. In any case, I tried changing this setting in the web app, but there I don’t see this setting at all… Is there any known workaround?
So with your tip @robertklep, I manage to get both a heater and a temperature sensor in the same room as the virtual thermostat, but I am still not entirely sure how this “thermostat” works… Unlike a regular thermostat/heater, there is no choice of modes (auto, heat, cool, off) and it does not give an option to set a target temperature, it just shows the current temperature.
Must a number of flows be set up to have it work properly?
