Bah just wait a little and we should have planty of option. This is another company working a line voltage thermostat
http://casaconnect.com/
+1 for the need for a solution to this issue.
Someone please figure out this problem, not all homes have low voltage thermostats, not even all new homes (mine is <6 years old they just aren’t that common in the area).
I totally agree I built last year and all my neighbors have line voltage.
finaly, a good sulution available at a reasonable price, too bad, Sinope and totalcontrol did not provide a zwave interface before !
Wow, finally, someone understand!
Simply Zwave line voltage thermostat! at good price!
Right on, only thing I have to get the sinope ones out and I have 24… To late for me but a wake up for them…
Contacted the Stelpro tody, unfortunatly, the STZW402 are not available yet, they don’t have a definitive release date but I order 12 to my distributor (Lumen in Quebec) who confirmed to me that I should have them in 2 weeks.
Just received 4 out of 8 orderd STZW402, I actually installed 1 and associated it with VeraEdge as a generic Z-wave device since Vera does not have a config for this yet. The device was added as a generic thermostat with heat\cold\fan options
Adding the device was flawless, straight forward now I’m struggling around to find out how to send the outside temperature to the T-stat.
more details to come…
The Stelpro unit looks like a good unit at a good price. I have central heat and air, so never had to think about getting a line voltage thermostat.
Seems a little odd to me that just about every single option for a “smart” (connected) line voltage thermostat comes from companies based in Quebec, Canada.
I saw in a previous post that Quebec Hydro offers some rebates, but one would still think that some companies outside of Quebec would try to fill the needs as well. (Just an observation. Not like X-files or anything.)
Aartech canada have it in stock 89.99$
Micasaverde Told me they were working to include all device options and it should be available in a futur update
Maybe I’m just a Z-Wave noob here, but I can’t seem to grasp why this should require a system update. It’s a thermostat. It has temperatures and modes. Just like any other thermostat. The interface to Vera should be identical, minus non-applicable things you would find on a home system like cooling and blower. My home thermostat is just for heat, so I simply ignore the cooling stuff in the interface that doesn’t apply. A baseboard thermostat is stupid simple. You can’t make it less complicated. In my thinking the only reason Vera should need to update is to include devices that are more complicated, not less. :

It can be added as a generic thermo. Not sure what unique capabilities this thermo brings to the table. I am just happy there is a viable option for electric heat. I almost jumped on the Sinope therms however, will probably go with Stelpro once I save up for 6 of them (how many I need).
Well still no luck on the line voltage see below
We are currently working on integrating our Web programmable devices to
different automation systems. Control4 and RTI are now available but others
are coming. As soon as another platform is available, it will be announced
on our API page Home - Sinope Support and we will post
something on Facebook.
We are currently looking at the possibility of an app. Neviweb is using a
Website optimized for mobile devices so our platform may be used by all
users (iOS, Android, Windows, .). If you would like to be informed if we
launch an app, please let me know and I will add your e-mail to our
newsletter’s mailing list. You can also follow us on Facebook.
Thank you and have a good day.
I was willing to give them a try outside of vera. I do the same thing with Netatmo. I like the Netatmo interface better. I figured once they got things done I could roll the therms over to vera. No need to wait now. Thanks for posting the Sinope info. I was curious where they were at on making things compatible.

You are right, the generic thermostat interface is usable BUT has an Auto and cool button that are not usable on baseboard thermostat. There is also an option on the STZ402 where you can send the outside temperature from the controler to all thermostat which, at this time cannot be done with the actual interface.
Do you know if anybody is working to get an API working on Vera with the Sinop?'s thermostats… so far they have APIS working with… Control4, RTI and SmarThings… I bought 10 of them in 2015 because Sinop? was telling there was going to be an API before the end of 2015… I even bought the Vera PLUS in the hope of having an API working… SO far… nothing… no news… Sinop?.. would you please get it working for them who believed you at the beginning… :-[
Not to my knowledge, we still wait and await and yes wait a little more. Considering they said by late year and that was late last year this is not very good. I have 24 and would not have purchased them, I would have gone with something else. All the newiweb.com does is allow you to schedule. If connected to Vera we could control based on scenes what a benefit.
[quote=“sinope, post:129, topic:179652”]Hi everyone,
My name is Valerie, Communication and Marketing Advisor for Sinope Technologies. I would first like to thank everyone who has bought our products. You have many good things to say about our thermostats and we appreciate your support. I will now address some issues that have arisen through this chat room.
We launched our first Web thermostat last October. We are a young company on paper, but know that our expert employees have been working in electronic control products for the past 20 years. Also, we already have more than a million thermostats sold and installed to date. So no need to be worried, we are here to stay!
Innovation is at the heart of our work which allows our products to benefit from unrivaled energy efficiency and meet current and future needs of our consumers. We are currently working on an API that will allow interaction with other platforms. We expect to have the API by the end of the year. We also have many more products coming soon which should please many of you. If you would like to be notified when the API or future products will be available, please send us an email at info@sinopetech.com to be added to our distribution list.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact us by email at support@sinopetech.com. Our number 1 goal is to please and keep customers.[/quote]
April 2015 - we had this message from Sinope… so I decided to buy all my thermostats from them because I knew directly from them that we were going to have an API… If I had knew before I would had never bought them… Just hope they will do something before the end of the decade…
