CT-30 WiFi - Howto

[reidfo]

For those of you who have CT-30 ZWave thermostats that you're not happy with, you can convert them to WiFi by swapping out the USNAP module.

1. Purchase a WiFi USNAP module fom RTCOA. Price is currently $59.95.

2. Remove batteries and disconnect C wire to your CT30 thermostat.
3. Remove the ZWave USNAP module and replace it with the WiFi module. Even though there are two slots, do not insert both modules.
4. Restore power to the thermostat by connecting the C wire and/or inserting batteries.
5. IMPORTANT - Make sure the thermostat is not in "simple" mode. If there is no clock displayed, then you are in simple mode. To disable simple mode, make sure the thermostat is in OFF mode, then hold down the Prog button for 12 seconds. The display should change to full mode.
6. Put the thermostat in provisioning mode
   1. Press the mode button and put the thermostat in OFF mode.
   2. Press Menu
   3. Press and hold the middle of the screen until 00 shows on the display
   4. Press the down arrow, then the up arrow
   5. The thermostat will count down, then reboot into provisioning mode
7. The thermostat is now ready to provision. The amber LED should be blinking, and you should see a 5 digit PIN code displayed at the top left of the screen. If you don't then you may have missed a step.

Now that your thermostat is in provisioning mode, follow the manufacturer's instructions to add it to your WiFi network. See http://www.radiothermostat.com/support.html for details on how to do this.


Once your thermostat is active on the WiFi network, BeakerStat should be able to discover it automatically.

Thank you!

This was the only reference to an actual procedure for setting up the wifi module that worked for me (previously had a z wave). It saved what would have otherwise been a rather sore holiday for me.

The key info that was missing for me was having it in simple mode vs regular and pressing the prog button for 12 seconds.
