WAYNE-DALTON Z-WAVE® THERMOSTAT

[socabomb]

Hi guys,

There is not anything in the wiki or elsewhere about the WAYNE-DALTON Z-WAVE® THERMOSTAT that i can find.  Anybody know anything about it, such as linuxmce support or perhapes one around the same price point? 

Thanks.

this could work with the existing driver. If you decide to buy one i'll add support for it to the new driver.

Anybody using this thermostat succesfully in lmce? I would like to integrate this device in our system, it would be great if anybody had some feedback about it! 

[hari]

buy one and provide remote access..

Looks like a good deal, I might be interested and I wouldn't mind giving you remote access Hari. would I be able to use it as a regular thermostat while you were setting up the zwave side (assuming that it might take you a bit).

should only take a few evenings..

am I correct in assuming that it is compatible with the MCV z-wave dongle? are the thermostat and the dongle all that I would need?

Is it only compatible with US frequencies, or a European version exists? (I didn't find it so far). If a 868 MHz is on the market, we would try to integrate it in our system. I would keep you aware in that case Hari.

Horstmann makes units for european frequencies..

Hari: I am going to go ahead and order. I will get with you when I get the unit installed, probably mid next week or so and you can hack away.

cool, catch me on linuxmce-devel when you have the stuff installed..

Just an update guys, I got the thermostat installed over the weekend and it works well manually. However there are different zwave control setting types and you have to be mindful when pairing this device. Basically there are three ways you can control this thermostat, Full Control (you guessed it you can control all features such as heat/cool/ tempup/dwn etc), Partial control (uses standard lighting dimmer commands to just raise and lower target temp), and on/off control (just allows you to turn it on/off). Now the first time I bound the thermostat I accidentally was on the wrong type of control and LMCE recognized the thermostat as a light control. I had to re-bind and now it is recognized properly as a thermostat. I only had a small amount of time to play with it but I immediately noticed that the buttons on orbiter are not working properly with this thermostat. Heat/Cool buttons seem to be fine, but all the rest seem to send the wrong command or dont do anything to the thermostat at all. So I will dig into the template and see what I can find out.

you forgot to add that i had to inspect the serial comms from the old driver just to find out that you did not read the manual :-)

this one is for EU frequencies...

Yes I would still be at square 1 if it wasnt for Hari's diagnostic services!
