Z-Wave Thermostat Problem

photo64 · October 20, 2016, 10:01pm

I have a CT-101 Radio Thermostat that I added to HA a few months back prior to our summer months. I haven’t as of yet added any automation around it however I was able to change the target temperature by moving the slider that appears in the UI. I noticed now that I have switched over to the Heating mode that even though I can change the slider to a desired temperature it doesn’t actually change the target temperature. It remains at what I set it for manually on the unit.

Is there an issue with controlling z-wave thermostats in the latest version of HA? Or has something changed when it moved to being a “Climate” component and maybe I need to update my configuration?

Do I need this set in my configuration file?

climate:
  platform: zwave

This was not previously required when I setup the z-wave thermostat. Is it required now? Seems like nothing has changed as far as what I see in the UI. It’s just not changing the temperature.

Anyone using either a CT-101 or CT-100 Radio Thermostat in HA? If so, any chance you could post a copy of the node information contained in your zwcgf_xxxxx.xml file? I would like to see if there any differences between what I current have showing (link below) and what your setup looks like assuming that yours is functioning correctly.

Before I attempt to remove and re-add it to my network I’d like to see if there really is a problem with the z-wave information.

Sorry I didn’t see this sooner! I’m running a CT-101 and aside from the humidity updating only about twice a day (and seemingly stuck at 57%, I’m not sure it’s actually updating at all) it seems to run fine. Here’s the node from my xml:

While I’m here, has anyone figured out how to get the humidity to poll more often? I’ve tried setting polling in the zwave config panel but if I change it at all and restart I get “can’t load zwave.”

@Dan_Bowkley,

Thanks for posting your xml: information. I did a compare and noticed a few things different however I am not sure what kind of impact it would have. Here are the items I noticed that are different:

frequentListening=“false” you have as false, mine is set to “true”
yours list CT101 and your id=“c”, mine is listed as “Unknown: type 6501 id=000b” and my id=“b”
3.In CommandClass 49 you have a whole section for “Relative Humidity”, I do not have this listed
In CommandClass 64 your vindex=“3”, min is vindex=“1”

The remainder of the information seems to be identical.

These are the two climate sensors I see in HA: (Is yours similar?)

climate.first_floor_thermostat_cooling_1_34_2
current_temperature: 70
friendly_name: First_Floor_Thermostat Cooling 1
operation_mode: Heat
temperature: 70
operating_state: Heating
fan_list: On Low,Auto Low
unit_of_measurement: °F
max_temp: 95
fan_mode: Auto Low
fan_state: Idle
operation_list: Heat,Auto,Off,Cool
node_id: 34
min_temp: 44.6

climate.first_floor_thermostat_unused_3_34_3
current_temperature: 70
friendly_name: First_Floor_Thermostat Unused 3
operation_mode: Heat
temperature: 70
operating_state: Heating
fan_list: On Low,Auto Low
unit_of_measurement: °F
max_temp: 95
fan_mode: Auto Low
fan_state: Idle
operation_list: Heat,Auto,Off,Cool
node_id: 34
min_temp: 44.6

I do not even see humidity listed however I wonder if it’s because of that missing section in the CommandClass?

I have some questions but started a thread here more generic than this issue.
