Hi all.
I have been working on switching from Smartthings to Home Assistant. I have one last item that is problematic that I’m trying to get sorted. First, I’m in the US running HA on a raspberry pi 4 with a Nortek zwave/zigbee dongle. I have installed OpenZwave and it is working well for me because I can see what is going on and other problems were likely due to my lack of patience and understanding of zwave. I have a CT101 thermostat that is proving difficult. I have read many of the articles on configuring this device and none of them seem to quite match my situation.
When I open the CT101 in the Open Zwave UI I see 14 user values. At least from what I have seen, these show up as entities in HA. In Home Assistant I see 3 devices with a total of 5 entities associated with them. A thermostat control also shows up in my Overview page and this seems to work in that I can set temperature but if feels like this will only be for heat. I’m not sure why there are three devices and only 5 user values.
After doing some research it seems like OpenZwave uses the configuration xml files to map how to manage the various devices. I have tracked this down on GitHub to config/2gig/CT101 which seems to be not implemented. I’m willing to put in some effort here but I don’t understand how all these parts fit together and even where these configuration files exist on the raspberry pi so I can start to play with them.
I’m more than willing to read some documentation on how all this works but I have not been able to find some overview documentation. It all seems to be specific changes for specific situations.
Any help would be appreciated.
