I installed 2GIG ZWave CT30e, NOW WHAT

[mrdblunt]

I paid $100 for the thermostat, $150 to get it installed. I still can't accomplish my goals.

I would like to be able to:
1. Turn thermostat ON via event micro.
2. Turn thermostat OFF via event micro.
3. Change thermostat setpoint via event micro.

By using the event micro I can change thermostat through my TiVo or a timed or manually event through Homeseer.

My thermostat is a 2 wire millivolt system.

If I bought the wrong thermostat which do you recommend I purchase? I also own an INSTEON PLM. So I also have the option to choose a INSTEON thermostat.

Which Z-Wave interface are you using?

[mrdblunt]

Z-Troller upgraded to v1.15. Thanks in advance.

Have you imported the Thermostat into HomeSeer?

To include into your Z-Wave system, put your controller into "add" mode, press the thermostat's "menu" button (on the right) and then press the word "mate" that appears on the screen at left.

What version of HomeSeer are you running? Can you see the T-Stat on the Status Page?

Everything seems to be configured correctly I just can't set any setpoints Or turn the thermostat on or off.

[mrdblunt]

I mean I can't use Events to control setpoints or even turn the thermostat on or off. So now that I have things configured correctly what kind of control do I have over the thermostat by using Events.

[kaldoon]

Under Event Actions under Add Action there should be ZWave Thermostat Action this is where you control the thermostat

When you run the event does it show as being ran in the HS log file? Are there any Z-Wave errors when you run the event.

But Interface still says 77:

Z-Wave Interface Z-Wave Thermostat 6
76.5 Heat Setpoint: 77
Fan Mode: Auto
Fan State: Idle
Mode: Heat
Mode State: Heating

Last Command Successful

Maybe the Action isn't right and it's trying to change the temperature reading, not the setpoint? Does your Event Action look anything like this and the log below? (Ignore the 79 vs 86 degrees, I had 2 diff events).

[mrdblunt]

Every time I try to include a screen print I get the following message:

"The text that you have entered is too long (261547 characters). Please shorten it to 75000 characters long."

How do I compensate for this?

[kaldoon]

Save your screen prints as a jpeg or png instead of text and then import
