Hey guys. I have a Trane TZEMT400AB32MAA. HASS sees it but only shows temperature in the states section. This is what I see:
sensor.trane_model_tzemt400ab32maa_temperature_9_1
friendly_name: Trane Model TZEMT400AB32MAA Temperature
unit_of_measurement: °F
node_id: 9
I have used this tstat successfully with a few other HA packages. Can someone tell me if I should see the other states as well? Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT Here’s my xml file for the device http://pastebin.com/1BnZ4hjb
I installed OZWCP and I can see my thermostat and control it like I would expect:
Why don’t I see these other options in the states section?
Can you post a shot of the configuration. Not sure it will make a difference or even if I will be able to help, but worth a shot. I have a Trane ZWave thermostat as well, I just havent moved it over to HA yet.
Thank you for offering to help.
I’m not sure what configuration you’re asking about. This is what I have in my configuration.yaml file:
zwave:
usb_path: /dev/ttyUSB0
config_path: /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/libopenzwave-0.3.1-py3.4-linux-armv7l.egg/config
climate:
platform: zwaveSorry, I should have been more clear. In the OZWCP, a shot of what the configuration looks like. In your post above, you showed the Current Values, down below that is the Configuration, which is the one I was looking for.
Is this what you’re asking for? http://imgur.com/a/m3sOp
I didn’t do it all because it is a ton of pages.
Yeah, thats what I was looking for, let me see if I can come up with something. No promises, but I will dig into a little and if I find anything I will post back.
Okay, just a quick note. I believe you and I have the same Thermostat. I was hoping the manual would turn up something but that does not seem likely having looked at it.
The good news is that my thermostat is currently set up and working on my VeraPlus Hub, which fortunately, I can talk to through HA. So what I will try tonight when I get home from work is to load the devices I have left in Vera into HA and see what options show up there and see if I get anything different than you.
I have had that thermostat for a long time, since the early days of Schlage Home Automation before they were bought by Nexia or changed to Nexia or something like that. Truthfully I have wanted to upgrade the thing to a Nest or something like that but just have not been able to bring myself to fork out the cash.
So let me get home and try that and I will get back to you unless someone out figures something out for you before then.
Awesome! I can’t thank you enough. Yes, I have been having my tstat for years too. I like it just fine. The only thing that I don’t care for is that it will not go off immediately even if you change the set point to a temp that should shut it off. It shows ‘Wait’ on the screen. Do you know how to overcome this?
Don’t ask me HOW to do it but I know WHY it does it. There is a time delay, something along the lines of Minimum Run Time and Minimum Off Time. Mine does the same thing, I just dont see the “Wait” on the screen that you do, but I can manually change the temp. and if it has not run long enough, it will not stop right then and once its off, if it has not been off long enough and I change the temp. it wont start until it has been off for a certain amount of time.
I believe those options are configurable, but how and to what extent I am not sure. I just learned to live with it and it never bothered me to such a point I dug into the configuration to figure out how to change it.
Understood. My unit has a built in function that keeps it from burning itself up from cycling too fast. The tstat doesn’t need to do this for me but it ends up doing it anyway. It’s not a big deal but it’s really the only gripe I have with it. Just thought I’d ask haha.
I’m looking forward to hearing what you find. Thanks again.
Okay, so I loaded in my thermostat from the Vera controller and this is what it looks like on the front end:
When I click on that card I get:
I can click on the Operation and Fan Mode dropdowns and get the options associated with those but the temperature adjustment is in half-degree increments in HA whereas in Vera and on the actual unit itself, it is in whole degree increments. Trying to adjust it from HA using the slider, it read 73.1. It completely ignored 73.6 and changing it to 74.1 in HA triggered the system on, but when I looked at the actual display on the unit itself it showed a set point of 71 degrees.
So it would seem that there are some issues there with the setpoint temperature. Vera doesn’t treat it this way, it gives me a drop down with whole degree selections. Without taking the controller off the Vera Hub and moving it to the Aeotec ZStick I am not sure if there would be some changes I could make in the OZWCP
Hope this helps. If you still have questions, post them here and if I can help, I will.
For whatever it’s worth, this is what it looks like from the Vera dashboard:
In Vera, one thing I greatly like over HA, is that I can click that arrow by the word ‘Inside’ and I can access the zwave configuration parameters for the unit without having to shut down Vera and then open up the Zwave control panel, do what is needed and then restart Vera.
I hope that is some kind of functionality they add to HA in the near future.
Here’s what it looks like in Vera when you click on the arrow by ‘Inside’. Vera seems to show more of the features of the device and if I click on the ‘Advanced’ link at the bottom I will be in the ZWave Control Panel for the device. So HA seems to be not picking up on everything for the device but it pulls in enough to make it functional provided that there is some kind of work around for the half degree temperature increments.
I think I am going to try and move that into HA tonight if I have time just to see what I can do with it.
Well, I guess we are two peas in the same pod. I removed my Trane thermostat from the Vera Hub and then paired it with my ZStick and when I open up OZWCP I can see it there plain as day, but no matter what I do, I cannot get it to show up in the HA front end now.
I have a suspicion as to what the cause is, so let me test a couple things out and I will get back with you.
Well, my suspicions didn’t pan out. Whatever is causing the thermostat to not show up is eluding me. The really odd thing is if I do not include my groups.yaml file then it shows up as seen below:
If I do include the groups file, then it does not show up but I can clearly see it in the entities list:
I am not sure why that is to be honest. I may have to wait and see if anyone else has some input because I am not sure I can devote the time to troubleshooting this tonight. I thought it would be a relatively easy fix but it is proving to be a pain.
Okay, slap me 'cause I deserve it. I have got it to show up on the front end. Im blaming sleep depravation after working a 12 hour shift.
I got to rename the the items, but its there.
Awesome! Now how do I do it? Lol
Are you using a groups.yaml file or customize.yaml file?
I’m only using the basic configuration.yaml file. I’m a newbie. Can you give me an example of what you’re doing and hopefully it will work for me?
Thanks again for taking this on and helping!
