Rogue Thermostat

Other Devices & Integrations Climate Control & Temperature Sensors

I just replaced my Trane thermostat with another one. I did not remove the original thermostat before I added the new one. The new thermostat added just fine to my Vera Lite, but when trying to remove the old one, it keeps popping back up as “_thermostat”. I am attaching the screengrab. I’ve tried issuing http://:3480/data_request?id=device&action=delete&device=66 where 66 is the respawned device.

Any way to permanently get of the rogue?

You needed to do a Z-Wave exclude. Hook the old thermostat back up (Just to get power) then do a Z-Wave exclude on that device.

Your Z-Wave controller still Knows about the device … until you exclude it!.

Drats… I’m taking the old thermostat to my vacation condo. Is there no alternative but to bring it back?

Hello,

This worked for me before when i couldn’t remove a device via the UI:

If you know the device_ID run the command below in your web browser.
Replace the local_Vera_IP and device_ID with information from your setup

http://<local_Vera_IP>:3480/data_request?id=device&action=delete&device=<device_ID>

That would remove a plugin or Z-Wave device that was no longer known to the Z-Wave controller.

But if the device has already been included into the Z-Wave network … Vera will continue to try to re-establish connection to it.

If the Z-Wave node is not present anymore, you should be able to trashcan it. (There were issues with a forced removal like this in the past, but it has been working well for quite some time. Do give Vera time to ‘finish the job’ and reload on her own.)

Is that not working for you?
