Trane XR524 ZWave Not Updating Status

Configuration

1

Good Morning All!

I’m in the process of replacing my Ecobee thermostat with a Trane XR524 Zwave thermostat. I am using ZwaveJS2Mqtt (not using MQTT, socket connection).
Version infomation:
zwavejs2mqtt: 6.8.0
zwave-js: 9.0.6
Home Assistant: 2022.4.7

The issue is the thermostat isn’t updating at all during schedule changes, temperature changes, etc. If I login to the Zwave2JS admin panel and “Refresh Values” it updates, but that’s it. If I change the value, the set temperature value will change, but that’s it. I noticed this doesn’t use Zwave+ or security, so wasn’t sure if that was an issue. Has anyone else had the same experience with these thermostats?

Is your Z-stick listed in the lifeline group for the thermostat?

I’m not sure what you mean. Is this setup in the Zwavejs2mqtt admin panel? I have a Zooz S2 ZST10 USB stick.

What you’re describing sounds like the device isn’t sending its updates to the controller. This usually indicates the device did not add the controller into the ‘lifeline’ group (association group 1) during pairing. You could try either unjoin the device and pair it again to see if you get a better result or option 2 - add the stick into association group 1 - the Lifeline group.

Go to the device in the ZWaveJS2mqtt console. Expand the device in question (in this case the thermostat) the click on ‘groups’ on the left. You SHOULD see something like this.

If you don’t see the ZStick in the lifeline group - add it with the add button above the panel like this:

After you verify it’s listed properly in the lifeline group - try it again.

Ah, that makes sense. When I go into my group associations, I don’t see anything. In fact, there is no lifeline group that exists.

No group association exists:

When I try to manually associate it with a group:

oooh yeah, I see what you mean. Not cool at all. :slight_smile:

Do you have any other devices that work properly and what do they look like?

My Honeywell and Zooz switches appear to be setup correctly:

I’m going to try and re-join it. I think when I joined it I used the Home Assistant “Add Device” and this time I’ll try through the Zwavejs2Mqtt admin panel.

Try re-interviewing the thermostat
