can trane xl824 be used with veralite?

i have been waiting forever to upgrade my thermostats to z-wave but have not been thrilled with any of the available options…but i do like the looks of the xl824. is it possible to get this working with veralite? i have done some searching and haven’t found anybody with any stories of even attempting to get it working…

Short answer is no.

There have been several people that have tried to SSH into the thermostat and make a Wifi plugin but Nexia has it locked down. There is no zwave chip in the XL824. It is actually a wifi thermostat that acts as a Nexia (zwave) bridge (controller).

After months of trying, I downgraded mine to a XL624 which, for the most part, works great.
