Default TZ40 Zwave Thermostat Support

Does mControl have the ability to use the TZ40 ZWave Thermostat? Reading the mControl manual tells me it supports the TZ16, but no where is there mention of the TZ40. I think that that TZ16 is fugly, and there is little chance my wife will allow me to replace our relatively ok looking thermostat with the TZ16, but she likes the look and feel of the TZ40.

dont know about that one specifically but i was in your same boat about the tz40 not being what i wanted.

According to the support people here this one works with mcontrol (it might be another option for you). http://www.smarthomeusa.com/Shop/Climate/Item/ZTT000/

Certainly will be running that one by the wife (thanks for the suggestion jagowar), but still insterested to see if TZ40 is supported by mControl. Anyone from the support staff able to chime in here whenever they get a chance?

Thanks in advance,

Greg

I spoke with the people at RCS a couple of months back and all commands are the same so it should not matter. I wound up going with the ACT thermostat for cost reasons.

We haven’t seen a TZ40 yet, but it should be identical to the TZ16. mControl should work great with any Z-Wave Complaint device (including thermostats), regardless. If it has the Z-Wave logo on it, you should be good to go.

Regarding the ZTT000, it works as well. If you add your USB controller into its group 1, you’ll even get status updates when certain buttons on pressed on it (mode and fan mode, I believe)

Ordered the TZ40 today, and I'm gonna test it with mControl. I imagine it will work just fine, but I'll post my findings once I receive it and install it.

Default ztt000 enrollment issue

I am using the Intermatic Z Wave USB stick and trying to enroll the Ztt000 Thermostat. I have the adaptop set as the primary controller in the utility but seem to have issues adding the device.

Can someone who has installed this thermostats give me some feedback on how to enroll this. I am not sure if I am doing the right commands on the thermostat.

Any help would would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

David Asofsky

Remember to remove the device first, before trying to add it. If it has been attached to another network, this is a requirement, before adding it to your network.

Let us know if this doesn't work.

Default Ted... Thanks for the prompt reply

THis is the first device I am trying to add to the system. It hasn't been enrolled anywhere else.

It might have been enrolled at the factory for testing. Just try to unenroll and enroll - works 95% of the time.
