Hi All!

Recently purchased a Honeywell t6 Pro Z-wave thermostat, and a Zwave dongle to go with it.

I’m running HA in docker, so I spooled up the Z-wave JS UI in a seperate docker container as well. I then added the HA integration for Z-wave and got it talking to the ZwavejsUI

I can tell something went right because the thermostat shows up in the HA integration as “Node 2”, but there aren’t any exposed entities that have anything to do with thermostat functions; It shows things like “node status”, “ping”, etc.

Edit: It also shows up as a “unknown manufacturer” and product in ZwavsJSUI

So something is working… just not as a thermostat.

Any help? I’m a few steps away from returning it and just using a shelly relay to short the two wires together.

    I have this same thermostat and it’s been a while since I set it up but I don’t remember seeing anything like that. However, with my other 40+ z-wave devices I’ve definitely seen things like that (especially the unknown manufacturer). Especially if, as an example, power freaks out and I had to redo a bunch of bulbs (thankfully I haven’t had to do that in a couple of years).

    Here’s a smattering of things that I would suggest to try if you haven’t already:

    Do a reinterview of the node

    Reboot z-wave jsui and home assistant

    Exclude the thermostat and then factory reset it

    Make sure it really is out of z-wave jsui, maybe even after another reboot

    Add the thermostat back in and give it plenty of time to be interviewed by the controller

    If those things don’t work, I would suggest moving z-wave jsui over to being done inside of home assistant, at least for a test just to make sure you can get it working in at least one way.

    Good luck!

      Great suggestions but it wound up being even more simple and even more stupid: Security keys. Writing a top level note for anyone after right now.
