Hello, i\'ve a question:
where i live, there is no way to use smartfit for hvac control, so i\'ve found a temperature sensor LM35DZ.
This is a transistor, giving a linear response from 0 to 150ðC, 10mV / degree. For example, 22ðc is 220mV (0,22V)
I wish to use input zone #1 to read the analog voltage, by shunting the pins to double EOL resistors (away of zone input terminals).
Confort analog zone input, reports 0 for 0 Volt, 255 for 3 V.
The problem is that the zone#1 outputs 3.0 V and the temp sensor 0,22V.
3.0V - 0.22V = 2.78V
Using math: 255:3=x:2.78
x=(255*2.78) / 3 = 236
It means that for 2.78V, comfort reports 236. Ok.
My problem is that when temperature changes, there is no change in the value, even if i burn the sensor with fire.
I wired the output of the temp sensor directly to the zone #1, the ground of temp sensor with zone common and the +12V of the sensor with one of +12V of the main board.
Where is the problem?
Thank you!
