Will this plugin in work in an environment with no internet?
In other words, I have an RTH8580 WIFI thermostat that is already connected to local LAN network - however the environment has not outside connection to internet.
Will I be able to use this plugin to control the thermostat locally - or is it necessary that the Vera call out to internet to make changes?

This is correct - this app doesn’t do any local control of the Honeywell stat. It connects from the Vera, over the internet, to Honeywell TCC, makes changes, then Honeywell TCC pushes changes to your thermostat(s).
Thus it will break if no internet is available to Vera or to the thermostats you’re controlling.
which interface are you using ? you can enable debug logging and usually get enough info to find the issue. If you can enable debug and collect a log I’d be happy to look at it. PM me since I don’t monitor this forum that often these days …
The temp scale comes from the vera default scale. It does default to “F” so it seems like either the default is not set or there is a problem getting the value. You can use a browser to request “http://vera-ip:3480/data_request?id=lu_sdata” where vera-ip is your unit’s ip address. Then look for “temperature” : “X” in the response (should be right near the top). The X is the default value. I don’t recall offhand how to set the default but I think it is burried in the vera weather settings page. If the default says “C” then there is a problem with the plugin …
In the response from URL you suggested it did say F, even though the weather settings were on C.
I changed the weather settings from C to F an back again and that did the trick.

I just wanted to say thanks. I installed the plug in and it works perfectly.
Great work :)[/quote]
I’ve got an update and a question
A few weeks ago Honeywell put out an update for the iPhone app with some comments about being required for new regions. I’m in Australia and some trial and error has shown me that I need to choose EMEA. Since the app update, it still all works perfectly but I get a message bar at the top of vera saying
-HNYWL TCC: : Honeywell TCC Authorization passed, but no devices were found.
My device still works and of course shows up in the list of devices.
Also, when I try to use advanced options in a scene, I’m asked for a thermostat ID. I’ve tried all sorts of numbers I can think of but nothing seems to work. Can anyone tell me what to enter in that field? I’ve tried the device ID, the thermostat ID as per the Honeywell site and any other option I can think of. I think when I create the entry it defaults to i4 but that doesn’t work either. I’d really like to be able to create a scene to cancel the current set point but that seems to be stopping me.
Thanks,[/quote]
It sounds like Jeffrey and samsimg are seeing the same issue I reported recently.on my old Vera lite I could adjust temperature up and down but had no other control after the iOS app update when I first got that message…
Now I’m setting up a brand new Vera edge and no thermostats are showing at all. I’ll turn on logging for some more information but it’d be good to know if the two other users are also using the Emma interface.
Firstly fantastic app, thanks for the development.
I am UK based and installed this using EMEA option as that worked.
It loaded all my 4 zones but not the Hot Water. Is this a limitation or have I not configured something? I am guilty of not reading the whole forum so maybe missed something, apologies if that’s the case…
Thanks in advance.
@davidj - no the hot water is not available as the zone is defined as blank (internal zone name) and so is difficult to handle, so was put to one side.
@davidj - understood but I’ll be honest I was looking for it only from a completeness perspective. If i want to put the water on before I get home unexpectedly then I just use the evohome app to set it, so not the end of the world for me. I do use the room thermostat readings to trigger other events though so they were more important for me. Don’t know of any other way of handling outside of the official Evohome app.
Hi and thanks for the app! Have just installed v2.4 on to my VeraEdge to control my Evohome. Have input my login details and left it on the ‘TCC’ option for the UK TCC but for some reason it keeps saying:
HNYWL TCC: : Honeywell thermostat user authentication failed. Check Setup
Any ideas why this is happening? I have tripple checked the username and password and I know they are right because I can log into Honeywell | Total Connect Comfort without a problem.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Users in the UK need to select the EMEA option on the configuration screen of the vera plugin. It can be found under the login details section (where you input username and password in the plugin). I didn’t see this and left it on TCC!!
I’m guessing no one else is having fan control issues?[/quote]
Same issue, everything works except for fan.[/quote]
If you’re having issues, you need to state which method you are using. The TCC, EMEA, etc. For some crazy reason Honeywell uses different protocols for different regions and the results are completely different based on which reason you are in.
