Cloud adapter for Danfoss Ally™ — using OAuth2 (Client Credentials).
Reads temperature, humidity, valve position, and battery data for all devices in your Ally account,
and allows targeted single writes without forced mode changes or chained sequences.
- Direct connection to the Danfoss Ally Cloud API
- Automatic OAuth2 token refresh
- Discovers all registered devices
- Reads all available sensor and control data (temperature, humidity, battery, valve position, etc.)
- Converts raw Danfoss values (×0.1) into real units (°C, %)
- Fully automatic polling with configurable interval
- Supports single, isolated write commands from ioBroker to the cloud
- Single Writes — each state is sent independently (no automatic mode switching)
- Smooth Sync Logic
- Anti-Race (5s): skip one poll right after a local write
- Hold Window (1min): protect recent local values from overwrite
- Lag Suppress (15s): ignore temporarily outdated cloud data
- Soft Refresh (~1.5s): re-fetch only affected states after each write
- Quiet Logging — info-level for clean operation, debug-level for diagnostics
- Auto Scaling — temperatures/humidity auto-converted to °C / %
Note: Cloud updates from the Danfoss Ally app may appear in ioBroker with a short delay (1–2min).
- Danfoss Icon2 RT (Room thermostats)
- Danfoss Icon2 Controller
- Danfoss Ally™ Gateway

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| API Key / Secret | Your Danfoss Developer App credentials |
| Token URL | OAuth2 token endpoint (e.g. https://api.danfoss.com/oauth2/token) |
| API Base URL | e.g. https://api.danfoss.com/ally |
| Scope | Optional OAuth2 scope (e.g. read write) |
| Polling Interval | Default 300s |
Shorter intervals update faster but create more API traffic. 30–60s is a good balance.
API Key: your-client-id
API Secret: your-client-secret
Token URL: https://api.danfoss.com/oauth2/token
API Base URL: https://api.danfoss.com/ally
Polling: 300Each discovered device creates a device tree:
danfoss-ally.0.<device_id>.*
The adapter separates read-only status values from writeable control values.
danfoss-ally.0.<deviceId>.status.*
These states mirror values received from the Danfoss Cloud API.
Properties:
- read: true
- write: false
Do not write to these states from scripts.
Examples:
status.temp_currentstatus.temp_setstatus.modestatus.humidity_valuestatus.battery_percentage
danfoss-ally.0.<deviceId>.control.*
These states are intended for user interaction and can be written from scripts or Blockly.
Properties:
- read: true
- write: true
Examples:
control.temp_setcontrol.manual_mode_fastcontrol.modecontrol.child_lock
The adapter automatically sends commands to the Danfoss Cloud and updates the corresponding status values.
| State | Description | Unit |
|---|---|---|
status.temp_current |
Current temperature | °C |
status.humidity_value |
Relative humidity | % |
status.battery_percentage |
Battery level | % |
status.mode |
Current mode (auto, manual, at_home, …) |
– |
status.work_state, status.output_status, status.fault |
Status or error | – |
status.upper_temp / status.lower_temp |
Temperature limits | °C |
All numeric values are scaled from ×0.1 → °C/% automatically.
The adapter supports precise single writes to each controllable state without chaining or automatic mode changes.
This gives you full control in Blockly, JavaScript, or custom logic scripts.
| Writable state | Expected value / behavior |
|---|---|
control.temp_set |
Target temperature (°C, 0.5steps; sent ×10) |
control.manual_mode_fast |
Alias for temp_set |
control.at_home_setting, control.leaving_home_setting, control.pause_setting, control.holiday_setting |
Preset temperatures |
control.mode |
manual, at_home, leaving_home, pause, holiday, auto |
control.child_lock |
true / false |
control.SetpointChangeSource |
Externally or schedule |
Adapter does not auto-switch modes when writing setpoints — you decide in your logic.
// Manual mode
setState("danfoss-ally.0.<id>.control.mode", "manual");
setState("danfoss-ally.0.<id>.control.temp_set", 21.5);
// At home
setState("danfoss-ally.0.<id>.control.mode", "at_home");
setState("danfoss-ally.0.<id>.control.at_home_setting", 21.0);
// Leaving home
setState("danfoss-ally.0.<id>.control.mode", "leaving_home");
setState("danfoss-ally.0.<id>.control.leaving_home_setting", 19.0);
// Pause
setState("danfoss-ally.0.<id>.control.mode", "pause");
setState("danfoss-ally.0.<id>.control.pause_setting", 5.0);
// Holiday
setState("danfoss-ally.0.<id>.control.mode", "holiday");
setState("danfoss-ally.0.<id>.control.holiday_setting", 10.0);
// Child lock
setState("danfoss-ally.0.<id>.control.child_lock", true);
// Explicit source (usually not needed)
setState("danfoss-ally.0.<id>.control.SetpointChangeSource", "Externally"); // or 'schedule'Write commands must target the
control.*states.
Thestatus.*states are read-only mirrors from the Danfoss Cloud.
| Mechanism | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Anti-Race | 5s | Skip one poll after local write |
| Hold | 1min | Prevent cloud overwrite of local writes |
| Lag Suppress | 15s | Ignore stale cloud data |
| Soft Refresh | ~1.5s | Re-fetch only affected states |
These mechanisms ensure smooth synchronization between ioBroker and the Danfoss Cloud without flickering or value loops.
The adapter provides detailed debug-level information for diagnostics but remains quiet during normal operation.
ack=trueupdates appear only in debugHOLD,MATCH,SUPPRESS→ debug-level, harmless diagnostics- API errors (
HTTP 400/401) retried automatically (logged at debug) - Clean info-level summary after every poll:

- Uses OAuth2 Client Credentials Flow
- Token auto-request on startup, refresh before expiry
- On
401 Unauthorized: refresh + retry once - Tokens kept in memory, never stored
- Optional

The adapter communicates with the Danfoss Ally Cloud API (base URL configurable).

Error Handling:
- 400: invalid header/value → logged
- 401: token refresh + retry
- 5xx: retried next poll
- Temperature writes auto-scaled ×10 (e.g. 21.5 → 215)
- Default: 300s (configurable)
- Updates only changed values
- Includes all anti-race / hold / lag / soft-refresh logic above
- Info summary after each poll shows changed, skipped, and held states
- One command per state (no mode chaining)
- Mode + temperature must be written separately
- Values are clamped to allowed limits, scaled ×10
child_lock: tries0/1, retriestrue/falseon 400 errorSetpointChangeSource: optional; defaults to"Externally"when manual modes are active
All send, retry, and confirm logs appear at debug level.
