Using the temp sensor in a control loop and would like to be able to set the auto report on temp change to 1 degree. Would appreciate some help if anyone knows how to do this. Also, is would like to set the auto report time interval from a script as well. Thanks

Any luck with this? I need to do the same thing. The HM-TS001 has a bunch of configurable settings via Z-Wave, but Homeseer only seems to support one (the wake up interval). Even that doesn't seem to work right. I get my device to be recognized correctly with all 4 devices (1 root and 3 children). But it never seems to updates and it doesn't listen for Polls. Looking at the specs, it defaults to no autoreporting. So, I need a way to turn Auto-reporting ON and set some interval (5 minutes?).

I think so. The HM-TS001 has 2 groups that you can associate the parent device to. Group 1 is where it sends its alerts and reports. And I think it is associated with Homeseer. Group 2 is if you want to control other devices directly based on temp or humidity alarms. I don't do anything with Group 2. My preference is to just get the devicevalues to homeseer and then I can create an event/script to do stuff.
I have figured out (after patient waiting) that the HM-TS001 seems to wake up every 60 minutes (even though I have the homeseer wakeup set to 6 minutes), and only if a value (ie battery, temp, humidity) has changed, then it will send an autoreport. So, the good news is that it does seem to be working correctly. Now I just need to change that 60 minute autoreporting interval to 5 minutes and set the "amount of change" to cause it to trigger to 5 degrees. I'm using it to make sure my hot tub doesn't freeze up. Last winter the dang thing shut down on me when it was -20 out. Didn't realize it until it was too late and had a bunch of the pumps and plumbing freeze (and burst) on me. So, I need to know very quickly if the temperature in the hot tub cabinet starts to drop too much. 60 minute interval is just way too long.
I know those are available values, as they're documented in the Z-Wave portion of the HM-TS001 user-guide. But they aren't available "Configuration" options in homeseer. So, I was hoping to be able to do it through scripting.
I'm brand new to z-wave, just got my first batch of goodies today. Everything seems to be running well. Just need to get to those values somehow.

OK, so not that I figured out how to access the other command classes... But I did figure out why it was only updating it every 60 minutes. The one command class command that HomeSeer does support for the HM-TS001 is the Wake Up interval. But to set this, the HM-TS001 has to be awake. The only way I got it to work (maybe it's the only way you're supposed to) is to wake it by pressing the F/C/link button 3 times. Then quickly (within 15 seconds maybe?), access the configuration section of the root device of the HM-TS001 (in Homeseer) and set the wake-up interval. Then, and only then, can you set this parameter.
With that, I'm happy.
Merry Christmas!

Yea, I just tried this and it worked.
Now I can see teh child devices. Also, the minimum interval that homeseer allows in the parent node configuration is 6 minutes, so every 6 minutes the sensors are reporting the temperature and humidity. I can live with that.
Thanks for your reply! I have been using homeseer for 3 days and I am loving it! Can wait to buy more sensors... (Need to wait to refill the gadget budget)
