richardalan1975 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I just purchased the Insteon Energy Display with thermostat and I am disappointed this device is not supported. I am nto pointing fingers just looking for a solution for temp threshold. For example if the temp drops below X or above X it would trigger an event like email notification. Please help me understand my options. Bummer looks like this device is worthless. Link to comment

Also indicate the energy meter which I have 4 of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
richardalan1975 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 I am confused where is the poll? Are you saying it has been supported? If not what is the solution to achieving threshold notifications. Link to comment
Teken Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I am confused where is the poll? Are you saying it has been supported? If not what is the solution to achieving threshold notifications. No, I created a POLL where I asked UDI to support all features and options for each device. To your original question there is no method to use this device as a remote temp sensor. Search under my profile of threads I created that will let you see the content etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
richardalan1975 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 I will find that poll soon enough. Do you know of another device that will do what I am asking and work with my UDI device? Link to comment

It comes down to budget and your long term needs. You could buy a remote TSTAT from SH but that solution has issues too. Or you could purchase any third party 1 wire solution. If you want reliable, expandable, accurate temperature data 1 wire is the way to go. Go to the Autelis forum here look at the 1.3.0 thread you will see information via my install thread.

Will look at the thread you suggested next. Link to comment

You can use the Insteon wireless thermostat then just create a program with temperature thresholds to trigger an email alert. Link to comment

My HVAC system is pretty intense geo, humidifier, multiple zones. Its great stat with wifi access and a ton of other features. just no temp notifications that I can see. Still looking thanks everyone for chiming in this morning. Link to comment

The wireless thermostat would be completely independent from your main thermostat, you would use it just to send email alerts when the temperature where is thermostat is located is outside of a set threshold. The thermostat has a tabletop stand or it can be wall mounted. Link to comment

I am going to explore both options above and deploy something quickly. Thanks again Link to comment

Being on battery it only pushes information based on a 2-3 degree change in temp. If that type of delay and resolution is OK it can work. Otherwise you have just traded one hobbled piece of gear for another. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
smokegrub Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I have an Insteon wireless themostat that I use in reporting temperature only and sending an email when a setpoint calling for heat is reached. That lets me know if the heating system has failed. IIt is powered via a transformer and is accesible from the ISY and MobiLinc. It has a minor foible that appears when you query it but that is easily remedied by powering it down then repowering it or, better still, don't query it! Link to comment
