wlodekd Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Will the current firmware of ISY support new ver 2.0 of Smarthome's thermostat adapter? Thanks Walter Link to comment
smileyw Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I am going to go over there tomorrow and swap out the 1.0 for the 2.0. i will let you know how it goes. I am really excited about not having to query the tstat anymore! Hopefully the UD guys will be able to get that new code into the software quickly! W Link to comment
AnthemAVM Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Any other advantages from the 2.0? Link to comment
smileyw Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Any other advantages from the 2.0? From the SH site: Rev. 2 New Features Reports changes in temp, temp setpoints, mode, and fan mode Controller functionality on heat call, cool call, and fan call (auto & manual ON) Supports +1, -1 degree on incremental bright/dim commands Off Button functionality - If you want a link to respond to an Off command instead of an On command, send an Off command from the INSTEON controller within 30 seconds of linking and before any other INSTEON commands are sent. Also, they are offering a deal until Jan 20th where you can trade in the 1.0 for the 2.0 for $20. Link to comment
tahoe Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 The swap is free. I called today and swapped mine out for no charge. Link to comment
smileyw Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 The swap is free. I called today and swapped mine out for no charge. So much the better! I live near SH, so I will go down there tomorrow and swap it out. Link to comment
tahoe Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Swap is free IF you purchased them within 90 days. Sorry, forgot that catch. Link to comment
mikewu99 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 From the email I received (presumably for those of us who purchased more than 90 days ago) if you buy a new adapter (for $100) you can send in the old one for an $80 credit (which must be used within 180 days) - essentially a $20 upgrade if you were planning to buy more Smarthome stuff...

This is how I understand the offer also. (I spoke with a sales rep) Link to comment
smileyw Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I have confirmed that it will cost "net" $20, but they are out of stock. When it showed in stock it was for the old 1.x version. They have since moved it to out of stock. They hoped they would have them tomorrow, but were unsure. So, I still have my 1.3 version for at least a few more days. Link to comment

smileyw Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I got the 2.0 version. It says 2.0 on the back, and the version (according to the ISY) is .91. The ISY was able to tell it was a Tstat, but I haven't been able to test anything else yet. I am waiting for the temp in the house to change and see if the ISY will be aware of that change. Frankly I don't know if the ISY software will know what to do with that change when it is reported. I will let you all know. (I have disabled my tstat query BTW.) W EDIT: It looks like the ISY ignores the changes as they come from the tstat. (Or maybe the ISY tells it not to send them somehow?) In any case, I still need to query the tstat. We will have to ask the guys at UD to do some re-coding to resolve this. Link to comment
intellihome Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thanks for the update. I have one on the way. It'd be nice to get rid of the query. Not that it is a problem but the less traffic the better. Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi all, The firmware that supports thermostat updates is 2.7.7/2 which is not out yet. Those who are on our 2.7.7 list, shall be notified of the release of this firmware. With kind regards, Michel Link to comment
wlodekd Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi Michel, I replaced two thermostat controllers with ver 2.0. ISY(2.7.7) recognized them without a glitch with automatic linking option. Fan controll is working now, I can turn fan on and off (Auto is turning fan off) Bets regards Walter Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi Walter, thanks so very much for the update. The next release will also support change of state events directly from the thermostat SO you might have to remove them from ISY and then add them back in (especially if you want to include them in scenes). With kind regards, Michel Hi Michel, I replaced two thermostat controllers with ver 2.0. ISY(2.7.7) recognized them without a glitch with automatic linking option.
