Humidity value from 2GIG CT100 thermostat?

Other Devices & Integrations Climate Control & Temperature Sensors

Hi All. Is it currently possible to poll Humidity levels from the 2GIG CT100 thermostat in the sensor measurement?

Unless this is exposed via the z-wave protocol, I do not think it would be possible.

Thanks garrettwp - it looks like no such values are being reported by the unit :frowning:

I know this is an old thread, but it's relevant to my question. [url=http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=158432]Homeseer added the ability to get humidity value from this thermostat in Feb 2013[/url] ("Fixed 2GIG CT100 thermostat not displaying humidity value"), so it must be an available Z-wave parameter. How do we get this added for Vera?

MCV would most likely have to add support if is not already supported (doubt it).

You could look under the Advanced properties for the thermostat in the Vera UI, and see if the humidity shows up there as a value.

The Humidity value is not available under Advanced properties for either the Radio Thermostat WIFI plug-in or the Z-wave device. However, it is available as part of the Wi-Fi USNAP Module API v1.3. In fact, there are multiple functions (see screen cap). There are also dehumidifier functions. So, these would be possible through the WIFI interface, but does this API translate to Z-wave?

It’s in one of the embedded devices: the one with no temperature. http://<vera_ip>:3480/data_request?id=status&DeviceNum=<embedded_device_num>&output_format=json

{ "id": 9, "service": "urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HumiditySensor1", "variable": "CurrentLevel", "value": "41" }

Just make sure you use the embedded device number instead of the main device number to query the status. Hopefully, they’ll fix the device UI to display the relative humidity in future updates.

I’m having the same issue with the CT-101 Z-wave thermostat sold by Lowes. All these thermostats are made by RTOA. If anyone comes up with a solution that would be great, I’ve been too busy to go back and forth with Vera support.

Thanks vicaya, this worked for me.

I just got a CT101 thermostat. I was interested in getting humidity as well. I was reading vicaya response but dont know how to find the embedded device number that is being referred to?
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Howdy,

I’m in the same boat – trying to parse out the humidity reading from the CT100 and not sure how to find the embedded device number.

I’ve been doing requests from the device using data_request?id=status and others and going over the resultant JSON output, but nothing looks like humidity.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

It sounds like your “extra” CT100 thermostat devices have been removed from UI5, so you can’t get the Device or ID from there. Is that correct?

You can get it in the manner you are trying. Try a URL like this: http://:3480/data_request?id=user_data&output_format=xml

The extra devices with the humidity value should be just after your main CT100 entry. Here’s an example from mine to help you search:

<device id="112" device_type="urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:HVAC_ZoneThermostat:1" id_parent="110" disabled="0" device_file="D_HVAC_ZoneThermostat1.xml" impl_file="" manufacturer="" model="" altid="e2" ip="" mac="" time_created="1387039096" category_num="5" subcategory_num="1" embedded="1" name="_Thermostat" invisible="1" room="7" local_udn="uuid:4d494342-5342-5645-0070-000001c9e54a">
<states>
<state service="urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveDevice1" variable="ManufacturerInfo" value="0,0,0" id="0"/>
<state service="urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveDevice1" variable="Capabilities" value="82,220,0,4,8,6,R,B,RS,W1,|49,133," id="1"/>
<state service="urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSetpoint1_Heat" variable="SetpointTarget" value="2" id="2"/>
<state service="urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSetpoint1_Heat" variable="CurrentSetpoint" value="2" id="3"/>
<state service="urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HumiditySensor1" variable="CurrentLevel" id="4" value="26"/>
</states>

Thanks! That was enlightening!

Unfortunately, I’m not seeing humidity in either of my CT100 thermostats. I can see results much like you posted, including the heat and cool set points, but no humidity. I saved the XML out as a text file and searched for “humidity” (case insensitive search). Found my AEON 4-in-1 sensor which has and reports humidity, but nothing else.

I’m running UI6 (well, the URL for vera has cmh_ui6/ in it and my firmware is 1.6.641).

Do you run the same version? Is it possible there is a firmware updated needed for the CT100 (my VT100 version info line is “3,3,28,9,1” and Manufacture info is “152,25601,263”)?

Thanks again!!

Oh…well, that might be the problem. I wonder if this is a Vera ‘fix’ for the CT100 extra devices problem. I run UI5. Unless someone else answers on this forum, you might try to contact tech support to find out if the humidity value is still available in UI6.
