I just switched to the new driver for this thermostat. Hit configure - all the controls work ok.
The only thing that isn't working is that "thermostatOperatingState" doesn't update when I use the device page to turn cooling or heating on (Edit - just realized I didn't actually test heating).
It updates with the Generic Z-wave thermostat driver. For example, my AC has been running for 5 minutes now and the operating state still indicates idle.
The logs indicate the setpoint being lowered, but again don't indicate cooling is started. Although it has.
Let me know if I can provide any more information.
Hope you can. One of my rules relies on thermostatOperatingState(), which is how I picked it up. If its unique to my thermostat, no worries - I can continue using the generic driver.
I was having the same issue with the T6 driver, so switched back to virtual. Now the honeywell driver isn't even in my list of available drivers. I'm guessing it is due to this issue.
Do you mean the "generic z-wave thermostat" driver? The virtual thermostat driver won't control your actual thermostat. Also, the Honeywell driver should not have disappeared - so I'm a little confused that it has on your system.
The one thing I did not mention was that I had to do a system restore (unrelated issue), but the restore was from after the 2.1.8.115 update. Since then, even though I'm running 2.1.8.115, the Honeywell T6 driver is no longer visible.
Did you get a chance to look at the Honeywell T6 Pro driver? My friend got a T6 Pro a week ago and his thermostat showed the same bug, so I don't think it is unique to my unit.
I have my thermostat set to off, my fan set to circulate. I can hear the fan running yet the thermostatoperatingstate is set to idle, I would expect Fan Only.
