Venstar Thermostats and Synchronize Time Function

[geogecko]

I have a 7 day programmable Venstar 1700 with an Insteon Thermostat Adapter (2441V) v.95, and an All-In-One Venstar 1 day programmable (2491T) with internal adapter v.95.

 

Are these compatible with the new commands in the beta firmware of the ISY-99i/Pro? It doesn't appear to be working. (ISY firmware 3.3.5)

Hi Jason,

 

They should be. Can you tell me what error you are getting?

 

Can you please make sure you follow the instructions here:

Please note that if you have older version of INSTEON dongle/firmware, you might have to upgrade for full features.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

The thermostats seem to be working great, just not the time syncing feature. Don't seem to get an error message from what I can tell, this is all I get in the diagnostic log:

Sun 12/16/2012 06:06:54 PM : [        Time] 18:06:56 6(0)

 

One for each thermostat.

Hi Jason,

 

You mentioned that they don't seem to be working. So, is the only problem you have is adjusting time/schedule? If so, you need their latest firmware. If not, can you tell me what's not working?

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Yes, thermostats work perfectly fine, minus the time syncing. The All-In-One thermostat is brand new, about 2 weeks old. They both appear to have v.95 firmware, at least, I think that is what that means. It's listed at the top of the main node of each thermostat in the admin console.

Thanks Jason ... I do not think v95 supports setting time. Unfortunately I do not know the firmware version that does.

 

With kind regards,

Hmm, ok, that's too bad. That's the only thing I don't like about Insteon products, is that the firmware is not field upgradeable.
