  I’m new to this and very excited to get things going. I just bought a house a few weeks ago, and started setting up all my components. I have a Aeotec Z-stick gen5 hooked up to a Raspberry Pi 3 running OpenHabian. I was able to connect two Monoprice door sensors, an Aeotec Water Sensor, Z-Wave Flood & Leak Sensor (DSB45) and two CT-101 thermostats.

The door sensors worked fine immediately. The Z-Wave Flood & Leak Sensor doesn’t report it’s status on the control screen of Paper UI.

However, it shows up working in the log. This is what happens when I submerge the sensor. Nothing changes on the control screen.

I have a similar issue with the CT-101 thermostats. I can change the temperature, but it doesn’t read the current temp, state, mode, etcetera.

What am I missing here?

Things do not show up in control until you link one or more of its Channels to an Item. Have you linked an item?

[jersoe (Jeroen)]

Yes, I have. In the screenshot they show up as Temperature and Thermostat mode for example.

[jersoe (Jeroen)]

Do I misunderstand linking? The screenshot does show that items are linked to my non-working things, right?

[rlkoshak (Rich Koshak)]

No. The Control tab shows those working Thing’s Channels that are linked to Items. Control is not really meant to be used as the standard interface to control your home automation. It is primarily meant to be used for debug as you administer your OH settings.

I actually found that the issue is that I have the Iris version of the CT-101.

CT101 thermostat not supported in OpenHab2 z-wave binding?

I have the Iris Version of this thermostat I was able to join it to my Z-Wave “network” (not 100% sure if that is correct term). I am able to control the target temp, but nothing else seems to work. I’m a little lost after reading this thread as to how to move forward. I saw that someone came up with some type of a work around, has this been added to the binding or do I need to implement that code myself. If I do need to implement the code, how do I go about doing that. Pretty new to OpenHab, ju…

Switching to unstable did not fix the issue. I see a workaround has been mentioned in the thread, but it does not look like that ever made it into the main branch. Any suggestions besides switching to HA or throwing out my thermostats?
