Setting up a Secure SRT321
It has been a bit tricky setting up my Secure SRT321 Thermostats with Homeseer so I thought I'd write a guide just in case anyone else has the same problems.
The basic issue is that the Thermostat is a "CONTROLLER" not a "SLAVE" so all the features will not automatically be picked up by Homeseer (Which it would do if it were a SLAVE device). So, tt means you have to work a bit harder to get it working. In essence, you need to set up GROUP associatesions to get all the features working
Here's how I did it:
1) In the Secure SRT321, set the Dip switch 1 into Installer mode (push towards the top of the unit)
2) Rotate the dial on the Thermostat until it reads "L"
3) Start the Z-Wave 4 plug in and select "Advanced functions"
4) In the Z-Wave 4 plug in select the Functino "Add Unsecure" then click "Continue" (If you have a LATER vesion of SRT321 then you can use the normal "Add Device")
5) Move the Thermostat close to your Z-Wave controller and press the dial on the front of the Thermostat. The "L" will flash in the Thermostat display.
6) Go back to the Z-Wave plug in and click "Start"
7) The Thermostat should get included. The Dislay on the Thermostat goes from "L" to "LP" which implies it "passed".
8) Since this was Added Unsecure it will be placed in a "Floor" with a system generated name (which is the z-wave node number). If you are using a later version and used "Add Device" then you will need to select the Floor and room.
9) Go back to HS4 and check the root device and the children generated. There should be three child devices: (a) Battery (b) Temperature (c) Heating Setpoint
Out of the box, this thermostat will NOT measure temperature. You need to set some paramters.
These are the parameters:
1) Temperature sensor: 1 byte. Default = 0
0x00 (0) - 0x7f (127) Disable temperature sensor
0x80 (128) - 0xff (255) Enable temperature sensor
2) Temperature scale: 1 byte. Default = 0
0x00 (0) - 0x7f (127) Celsius
0x80 (128) - 0xff (255) Fahrenheit
3) Delta temperature (0.1C steps) Default 10
1 - 100 - Delta temperature in 0.1C steps
To set the paramters, make sure the DIP swich 1 is set to Installer mode and rotate the dial should read "LI" (not "L")
You can then set the parameters of the device using the Z-Wave tab on the device parent.
I set mine:
Parameter 1 = 255 (Temperature sensor ON)
Parameter 2 = left default of 0 (Celsius)
Parameter 3 = Changed to 5 (half degree steps)
Now since this is seen as a CONTROLLER and not a SLAVE, it means that Homeseer will not automatically read the settings from this Thermostat.
You need to set up "Associations" which allows the Thermostat to communicate with your controller
These are the available associations:
Group 1 - Nodes controlled by Thermostat Mode SET command
Group 2 - Nodes controlled by Binay Swich SET command
Group 3 - Nodes to receive unsoliticed Battery Level Reports or Low Battery Warnings
Group 4 - Nodes to receive Thermostat Set Point Reports
Group 5 - Nodes to receive unsolicited Multilevel Sensor Reports
You will therefore need to set up Groups 1, 3,4 and 5 to link to Homeseer to get this fully working (I actually set all of the Group associations)
From the Z-Wave 4 plug in select "Manage Associations", selet the device then set the Groups 1,3,4 and 5 to be "HomeSeer" (or all of them if you want)
Finally change the DIP swich 1 back so it is not in "Installer" mode and you are done!
Hope this helps someone.
