Add Danfoss Ally Thermostat

Added Danfoss Ally Thermostat

[asgothian]

Fixed all the comments from the review. Note that the exposes are added but not tested as i am not using Home Assistant.

Also added a converter for the Bitron 902010/29 outdoor siren. This was tested earlier today and should work fine. It can only be used to report on battery error or to send an alert to the siren.

Hi, the Ally is really slow to respond to setpoint attribute changes, and according to their documentation you should be able to make it move immediately with this command:

So what i did was added this to zigbee-herdsmans cluster.js hvacthermostat:

hvacThermostat: {
        ID: 513,
        commands: {
            danfossSetpointCommand: {
		ID: 64,
		parameters: [
                    { name: 'setpointType', type: dataType_1.default.enum8 },
                    { name: 'HeatingSetpoint', type: dataType_1.default.uint16 },
                ],
	    },
        }
        }

and this to zigbee-herdsman-converters toZigbee.js:

    danfoss_setpoint_command: {
        key: ['danfoss_setpoint_command'],
        convertSet: async (entity, key, value, meta) => {
            const payload = {setpointType: value.setpointtype, HeatingSetpoint: value.heatingsetpoint};
            await entity.command('hvacThermostat', 'danfossSetpointCommand', payload, getOptions(meta.mapped, entity));
        },
    },

and under devices.js

 toZigbee: [
          tz.danfoss_setpoint_command
        ],
   

I am able to execute this command, without errors, but it has no effect. Any Ideas? :)

Can you link the documentation this was taken from ? I only had access to the cluster definition when building the support. I found that my thermostat reacted reasonably quickly (within 30 seconds) to a set point change.

Also - I was able to confirm that the thermostat does not accept any mode change commands. The one thing I am still uncertain of is the function of the “heat available” datapoint.

Without this document, i will have to concede that i have done what i can.

How are the chances of this getting merged ?
