Wink Thermostat not appearing in HA

Configuration
1

Hi, I just recently set up HA (not hass.io) on my RPi 2B running stretch lite. It works amazingly, with the exception of my Honeywell Touchscreen Z-Wave thermostat (connected via Wink V1) not appearing anywhere in HA.

I set up with Wink connection to HA using the configurator, so I can’t even find where the wink stuff is within any config files. I have confirmed that the thermostat is appearing in wink@home so I know it is exposed by the api, and tried searching archives for any similar issues, but I haven’t found a thing.

I did try adding a climate:wink node in the config file as a shot in the dark, but nada.

Any thoughts?

Interesting, can you enable debug logs and send me your logs in a PM after a restart?

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
      wink: debug
      pywink.api: debug
      pubnub: debug

Thanks again, I replaced the file and restarted. It seems like the error is gone from the log, but it still doesn’t show up in the list of entities when I look under the devtools>state. I even tried calling the wink service to find new components (even though isn’t technically new), but nothing. I am attaching the new log…home-assistant.yaml (752.4 KB)

It looks like something is wrong with your thermostats JSON data coming from the service. Can you send me the JSON for the device from wink@home?

That is the issue. Wink isn’t reporting the device supports any HVAC modes. It should have something like

      {
        "field": "mode",
        "type": "selection",
        "mutability": "read-write",
        "choices": [
          "heat_only",
          "cool_only",
          "auto",
          "aux"
        ]
      }

In there. Is this device working in the Wink app? Is it officially supported?

It is officially supported, and it does work in the app with one exception. Whenever I trigger any of the actions (temp up, down, cool/auto/heat) it gives me an error saying there was a problem communicating with the server. It still successfully executes the commands though. I can try removing the thermostat and repair.

Yeah give that a shot, and then check that JSON again.

That was it! I guess it was previously paired as a generic zwave thermostat (did it years ago). Now as Honeywell therm I get different controls in hub and it is showing in HA!!! thanks so much!

No problem, glad it worked.
