CT100 Plus thermostat - what driver is best?

I've just transferred my CT100 Plus thermostat from ST to hubitat. I'm currently using the Generic Z-Wave Thermostat driver, but am wondering what would be the best driver available. I was using RBoy's driver on ST before moving it over.

I noticed that it's currently reporting 1 degree increments, and wanted to be able to adjust the settings for reporting and temperature swing. Also, doesn't seem like it reports changes, so I currently have a RM 4.0 rule set up to refresh it every 5 minutes.

Mine works fine on the CT Driver and Generic. Didn't see any difference from either.

i have the OLDER non Plus version, and it does send over changes that happen to it without any refresh
oddly multiple times...

I'm looking at my events from the thermostat over the past several days, and see another issue... I have a script set up to change the heating and cooling setpoints when the mode changes, and am only seeing the cooling setpoint actually change. It's currently set on Heat mode, so that's the one that I want working at the moment. I've added a 30 second delay between setting the heating and cooling setpoints, will have to see if that makes a difference.

But still, without my 5 minute refresh command, I am not seeing any temperature or humidity reporting, or operatingState updates come through at state change time, even though the readings are changing throughout the day. The only state updates I see are exactly every 5 minutes.

Ah. I forgot about a good point. I had to ditch the Z-wave module and go with the Z-wave plus module. Made a Huuuuuuuge difference on the communication between the stat and the hub.

can the communications module on a CT100 (non plus) be upgraded to a plus version?

Doesn't like it. I have the CT50 and it uses the USNAP module.
