Can't Find Wireless Thermostat Temperature in UI

[DreamerI90]

I just got a 2441ZTH to monitor various locations in around my house. It linked fine and it looks like it query's okay, showing set points and humidity. However I can't see the temperature in the UI 4.6.2.  I know it doesn't report the temperature on query, only on change, and also goes to sleep after a minute. What really has me confused is I don't even see a field for the temperature in the device page on the main tab.

 

I know from my research it should have external power but where is the field that would show the temp if it was working?

 

Also wondering if it will send the temp if there is enough variance when on battery while asleep or only when it's awake?

 

Thanks in advance!

Yes, there should be a field for the temperature as shown below:

You may want to factory reset the thermostat and the restore device followed by write updates. BTW, mine is powered from a computer USB port.

It did finally give me a temperature in the state field so I'm making progress,

It's working fine now and updating the State (temp) without any intervention. It's a nice piece of hardware and exactly what I wanted except from what I understand the external probe temp is only local the 2441ZTH, no remote readability. I would appreciate any suggestions for a unit that would do both.

 

I would also recommend changing the "State" field label to "Temperature" in the UDI UI. It really confused me for a bit as I thought that field by name would indicate whether the unit was heating or cooling.

 

Thanks stusviews for the super-fast reply!

There is a thread here on substituting an external probe for the internal probe. So you can use it for remote readings but you then can't read the temperature at the 2441ZTH.

Thanks Brian, I saw that, it would be nice to have something like this that can do both!

Well new modules in development  maybe possible. Usually no advanced notice. Except when a prerelease sale is in place.

We also don't know completely. What Richmond Capital Partners is going to do with Smarthome and Smartlabs.

 

I have seen some of the devices that look like slow sellers. Get discontinued and sold real cheap to clear them out.
