  • I have this same thermostat and it’s been a while since I set it up but I don’t remember seeing anything like that. However, with my other 40+ z-wave devices I’ve definitely seen things like that (especially the unknown manufacturer). Especially if, as an example, power freaks out and I had to redo a bunch of bulbs (thankfully I haven’t had to do that in a couple of years).

    Here’s a smattering of things that I would suggest to try if you haven’t already:

    Do a reinterview of the node

    Reboot z-wave jsui and home assistant

    Exclude the thermostat and then factory reset it

    Make sure it really is out of z-wave jsui, maybe even after another reboot

    Add the thermostat back in and give it plenty of time to be interviewed by the controller

    If those things don’t work, I would suggest moving z-wave jsui over to being done inside of home assistant, at least for a test just to make sure you can get it working in at least one way.

    Good luck!


















  • This isn’t going to be an option very often, but when the conditions are just right I like to leave windows open overnight to cool down the house. If it’s going to be below 60°F and above 80°F the next day, it works best for me. Keep an eye on the dew point though because too much humidity isn’t great. I like to open windows on one side of the house then open another in the other side with a powerful pedestal fan sitting about 4 feet away. That seems to work best for moving air through the house and usually lets me get away without running the AC the next day. Also, Vornado makes a transom window fan that fits snuggly in the window case, that’s a great balance between blocking out a bit more noise because the window isn’t wide open, it’s a noise machine, and a huge benefit is it’s reversible.

    Good luck!
