I have a GoControl Z-Wave thermostat which identifies as Linear GC-TBZ48. It has always had some flaky indications but with 104 the mode indications changed making it difficult to tell if it is operating.
Previously the hvac_action attribute was accurate for cooling and heating, and if neither showed “idle”. The fan was more difficult to tell as it always shows fan_action as “running”, so you had to look for the idle, then look at the fan_mode and if “auto” you can presume it is off.
Now the hvac_action, instead of showing heat or cool when idle, shows “fan”. I think I can change some calculations and if it says “fan” and “auto” together assume it is really off but…
Is this a change in the underlying openzwave? Is anyone else running into issues with this device telling the actual state?
