I couldn’t really tell because all my z-trm2s are v2.6, but what I do know is that:
even for v2.6 chris had to add the P-setting as a channel ‘manually’ (not quite sure how he does that)
for the one device were I use the P-setting, it is working fine. Also reflects changes done on the device.
as for pre 2.6 support: if you read the 2.6 doc carefully (seems to have been pulled from the ThermoFloor WEB site, possible pending their SW Z-Wave certification) it states: P setting is not supported over Z-Wave.
This could have been the case before, but luckily not the case for v2.6
If indeed my TF016 with v1.8 can’t change the P setting over Z-wave, I guess an option is to upgrade the software, if possible. (As I understand it, I have to get a specific cable and I guess I have to have an electrician also to open the thermostat cover…).
Quite frustrating with a lack of such basic operation on a thermostat.
Do you think that a manual insertion of a new channel in the XML as stated above would be possible? I am new to this, so I am worried that I might damage the unit…
As I said, try the support portal or try a thread that is not z-trm2 related.
AFAIK z-trm2 started out on FW v2.6, it does not support that special update cable as it is OTA update only.
I have checked on the PCB, the contacts are not there.
The previous versions have been around for many years, so try to connect with others using those.
I haven’t checked if the new HeatIt-termostat behaves differently than the old one, but the 1st gen one behaved more as one would expect when in ECO mode. So that’s all I’ve been using up until now and therefore also what I want to be able to set in my heating schedule.
IC, I have 2. gen only and never used ECO mode so far, but I agree. Having a channel for Parameter 11 would be nice.
So what you are saying is that such a channel is in place in the binding/database for 1. gen, but not for 2. gen?
If so, we should ask @chris to add it for 2. gen as well. (It’s the database entry I created Chris). Here: Heatit ZTRM 2
Are you really sure you have the latest version? If so, please tell me the database reference for your device (listed in the properties) so I can be sure we updated the correct entry as there are quite a few for this device now.
How do I check whether or not I have the latest version?
Is there another way of obtaining the latest version than to delete the thing and then add the thing again?
