Model TZ45 Z-Wave Thermostat Connection

[mdyod]

Help - I can't get my new TZ45 Z-Wave Thermostat to connect to my isy99

 

Here are the instructions from the thermostat userguide.....

 

Z-Wave controllers from various manufacturers may support the Z-Wave Thermostat General V2 Device class used by the RCS Z-WAVE Thermostat. The following procedure will allow the thermostat to be added to a Z-Wave network.

 

General Programming Procedure (for controllers supporting the thermostat device class):

1. Set your primary controller to Include mode, to add the thermostat as a node on your network

(see your controller’s user manual for detailed instructions).

2. In the Thermostat’s Main Menu, scroll down to the ZWave Install item. Select the item.

3. Press the YES button in the ZWave Install screen.

 

Your controller will indicate the thermostat was successfully added to its network (see your controller’s user manual for details).

 

Also you can check if the thermostat was successfully added to the network by checking the ZHID (Home ID) and ZNID (Node ID) located in the Thermostat Info screen.

 

My thermostat info page reports My ZHID = d0.3e.ba.8f & my ZNID = 000

 

Is this thermostat compatible?

Hi mydod,

 

ISY does not support ZWave (yet).

 

With kind regards,

Thanks for your speedy reply...,

So, are there any thermostats that are compatible with isy?

Hi mydod,

 

INSTEON thermostats are compatible with ISY. If you have 994iZ, then RCS TZ45s are also compatible.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

i have the isy99 -but would consider upgrading ... are there other reasons to consider the 994iZ

Hello mydod,

 

Yes, 994 series is packed with energy management features such as Open ADR, support for multiple Brultech ECM1240s, flex alert.

 

On the other hand, if you already have a ZWave thermostat, it would best to wait for our ZWave solution.

 

With kind regards,

Michel
