Waketech Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I just installed the 2441TH and noticed the temp in "Current State" does not update unless I manually query it 1. Am I just impatient, is there a default refresh time ? 2. Is this device capable of auto updating ? Thanks
Waketech Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 It should update anytime there's a change in temperature. Try blowing some hot air on the device, you should then get a update. Techman, It seems that the current state temp only updates when the device is queried on the ISY, the temp on the thermostat updates in real time.
Michel Kohanim Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Hi Waketech, Are you certain this is not a ZTH .. if so - and if on battery - this is normal. Otherwise, please check the number of links in your PLM: for INSTEON devices to report their status, there must be a link in the PLM and if you reach 800 or more, then you will not get any status updates. With kind regards, Michel

With kind regards, Michel Mike, Definitely not the wireless one, for the links please confirm I did this correct Tools > Diagnostics > Show Device Links Table > Chose the thermostat and left the check box unchecked. The response I got was.... 0: 1FF8:E2 EF 2A.A2.1E 01 00 EF 1: 1FF0:E2 01 2A.A2.1E 01 00 01 2: 1FE8:E2 02 2A.A2.1E 01 00 02 3: 1FE0:00 00 00.00.00 00 00 00 count = 4 Thanks
Brian H Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Actually three links in the device. The last line with all 0's is the first unused link address in the device.

Waketech Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 Does your humidity update regularly? I will check tonight as well as completing a factory reset as mentioned in the other post
Michel Kohanim Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Hi WakeTech, Please also check the number of links in the PLM (Tools | Diagnostics | Show PLM Link Table) and then click on the Count button. With kind regards, Michel

Michel Kohanim Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Hi Mike, That's the issue (very low link count). Now, please remove the thermostat from ISY and then link it back in. If you do get events, then it means that the PLM has lost its links. Have you recently changed PLMs? If so, have you already done File | Restore Modem or File | Restore Devices? With kind regards, Michel

With kind regards, Michel Mike, tried that and no the PLM has not been replaced. I have this discussion going on another thread (sorry different question but lead to talking about this issues). From what Xanthros is saying I think it may be that the only time the data will update from a query inside a program is when a variable actually changed, vs from the main menu it will always grab data ? http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/14100-2441th-two-wire-wo-power/page-2 Edited October 10, 2014 by Waketech
Michel Kohanim Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Hi Waketech, Xathros is correct: in case of programs, the values are updated if and only if something changes. This said, the original question was about the thermostat not sending status updates as they change. Has this been solved? With kind regards, Michel

With kind regards, Michel It was LeeG that pointed out that the data is only sent via program query when a value has changed. Now, what need to be done: 1) Open the console, open the event viewer, set to level 3 (Device Communications) 2) Take a hair dryer and blow some warm air at the stat. See if any traffic is recorded in the event viewer from the stat. If not, back to checking link records. I believe there is a specific procedure that needs to be followed when adding a TStat to the ISY. As I recall, the stat needs to be in the "Off" mode when adding for all of the nodes to be correctly added. -Xathros Edited October 10, 2014 by Xathros

Waketech Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 Sorry for the delay, Last night I was doing some painting in the garage so at 8:44 pm I set the thermostat to turn on and warm the garage. I came back in at 9:50 pm and the main page did not update anything (temp, set point humidity) when I manually queried everything matched the local display of the TSTAT. Unfortunately I did not look at the comms log (I will do this tonight, same test). On a side note If I run a program to auto query at an interval of xxxx min that seems to work just fine (TSTAT gets updated when queried, only if there is data to update).
Michel Kohanim Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Hi Waketech, Did you check PLM links? With kind regards,Michel
pgershon Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Not sure what happened here. I had a different issue with my 2441th unit entering "energy mode" and so I replaced it with a newer one with more recent firmware (10 vs 0D). I am no longer getting temperature change reading updates like I used to. Not sure if this is due to firmware or something else. When I query the unit, it says the right temperature.

MrTinker Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Hate to revive an old thread, but I find myself in this same situation and would really like to solve it. ISY994i/IR Pro with firmware 4.2.30 2441TH v.0B Thermostat 215 PLM links (I see two for the thermostat itself) As others were noting, when querying the thermostat, it will return the proper temperature. I'll try watching device communication later today to see if the thermostat is sending any communications when the temperature changes.
