I just started playing with Home Assistant this past weekend and I am really enjoying it. (only mentioned this to give some indication of my familiarity with it). I am running it on a windows box with VMWare.
Anyway, I have the thermostat listed in the subject and was curious if this would work with home assistant? It says it has Z-Wave capabilities on the back of the thermostat.
If so, I assume my “Smart Things” hub isn’t smart enough to see this? If not, what Z-Wave device would be best at controlling this?
Lastly, could someone with my limited exposure of HA even remotely accomplish this? I am highly motivated due to the AC Company wanting to charge me to upgrade their 3G hub since their provider no longer has 3G (despite the AC being only 2 years old). My “smart” AC system is pretty much a dumb one now and have to control it directly on the box.
Sorry for the mini-rant and if my post is in the wrong section or does not provide enough information. I am eager to learn and look forward to any help that is provided. Thanks!
just a caution on a 700 series stick. The latest firmware versions appear to have improved the situation. I think the latest was just released last week.
