Thanks for mentioning that bug report. You can do a lookup by number.
For those looking to declare independence from resolution of said bug today ;), try this low-level workaround:
luup.call_action('urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveNetwork1','SendData',{Node='<nodeID>',Data='68 1 <fanMode>'},1)Where [tt][/tt] is the Z-Wave NodeID ([tt]Settings[/tt]->[tt]ID[/tt] / [tt]Advanced[/tt]->[tt]altid[/tt]), so not the [tt]Device#[/tt], of the t-stat, and [tt][/tt] is:
[tt]0: auto[/tt]
[tt]1: on[/tt]
[tt]2: cycle[/tt]
as previously mentioned.
This will send out the proper Z-Wave frame to operate the fan cycler (provided you have configured a non-zero On time. This can be done through the menu locally, or through parameter 75 (On time) and 76 (Off time)).
A bit crude, since the status in the Dashboard will show wrong etc., but oh well.
How do I combine this Virtual StateDevice Luup code with this Change Fan Mode Luup code?
I am using the Virtual Switch’s State to trigger an AWAY, EMS Trane scene
local Virtual - EMSDevice=53
local Virtual - EMSStatus = luup.variable_get(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1”, “Status”, EMSDevice)
if (EMSStatus == “1”) then
return false
end
return true
Normal Mode, FAN ON
luup.call_action(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:HVAC_FanOperatingMode1”,“SetMode”,{ NewMode"ContinuousOn" },53)
EMS Mode, FAN AUTO
luup.call_action(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:HVAC_FanOperatingMode1”,“SetMode”,{ NewMode"Auto" },53)
I would also like to see support added for Operating Mode ‘EHEAT’ which is now in these thermostats. Currently, the only supported modes in Vera are ‘Off’, ‘Auto’, ‘Heat’ and ‘Cool’.
Maybe someone can verify if EHEAT can be controlled via Loop/Variable code.
I am new and would also like to control the fan cycle from Vera
I have it working from the Trane /Schlage TZEMT400AB32MA but if I change from ESM to normal from Vera the fan cycle option no longer works and I have to go back to the installer settings on the thermostat to re enable the fan cycle. I am at the latest firmware version: 1.1.1338 .
My thermostat is device #4 so if someone would be so kind to offer what code I might have to paste into a scene I would be very thankful. Did I mention that I was new and old. 
I am new and considering this thermostat, and if I do buy this one I certainly want the fan cycle mode to work. That is a key feature for me.
On a side note, I had purchased the new Honeywell Z-wave thermostat but couldn’t get it to work correctly and Honeywell won’t talk to a homeowner, only an “HVAC professional”, so back it went. How do you users like the Trane/RCS/Schlage (it’s made by RCS and OEM’ed by the others) thermostat? Would you buy it again or look elsewhere?
Thank you.
I am very pleased with the function/reliability of the Trane/Schlage model despite caveats noted
@ufd108,
I have two of these now plus a spare and I love them. I’ve tried a lot of programmable thermostats over the years and this one is the best I’ve used personally, even without the zwave features. The fan cycle mode was a must for me also and I have that working currently through luup code where I can turn the fan cycle mode on or off, it just doesn’t indicate as such. As for support, I was having a reception problem with one of mine and called trane’s tech support. After a brief conversation with a knowledgable tech they sent me a replacement (advance exchange) free of charge. They even paid the return shipping. The new one did not fix my issue (I think it’s the location or interference) but I am very pleased with the support I received. Good support is hard to find these days.
FWIW, I have the older models which were made in the US, I’ve noticed that the newer ones are now made in China 
. Therefore, I cannot vouch for the quality of the newer models.
Hopefully, MCV will fix the fan cycler issue with the next release as promised.

[quote=“jgdurbin, post:8, topic:164723”]There appears to be several topics regarding updating the interface to the Trane Thermostats, especially the elusive fan cycle option. ASIHome alludes that he has insiders knowledge, but doesn’t appear able to share with the wider audience. The question is why doesn’t micasaverde have this same insider knowledge? Or how can we, the community, get insight? Or have I not yet found the thread where this problem is solved (please point me in the right direction!).
I messed around and cleaned up several files (attached) for the main interface (I am running a new vera with 1.1.1047). NOTE: I did NOT update the version numbers, as they are not official releases. I am also working on cleaning up the smart phone interface (will be posted “soon”).
Fan Cycle is indicated, but doesn’t (yet) work. Changes are primarily formatting and very minor functionality.[/quote]
I’m running 1350, are these more up to date than what’s currently on the box stock and if so, what are the minor interface items that you cleaned up?

Can anyone confirm that the Trane fan cycle Z wave will work from the new Vera 3 and show up on the dashboard?
Does not appear to be working yet (V3/1.5.254).
Ditto here… Although the “Cycle” menu options does appear for this thermostat on the dashboard display, selecting it results in “Auto” mode, both on the dashboard and in the thermostat itself. My thermostats have been manually put into the correct state for “Cycle,” and that mode is selectable directly on the 'stats. Oddly, when the thermostat has been manually placed in Cycle, selecting that mode on the dashboard results in the unit returning to Auto.
Perhaps we are skipping a step somewhere?

I wish they would get the fan cycle working as I would like to create a scene so that when the bathroom light goes on the fan cycle mode activates to remove moisture from the mirror while I shower. Forced hot air heating is very dry in the winter even with a humidifier so the fan cycle would work well for me. Having it cycle on all the time raises my electric bill.
IIUC, you could create a scene triggered by your bathroom light turning on, and putting the following in the [tt]Luup[/tt] tab to set the fan mode to cycle (substituting the proper [tt]ID[/tt] (not [tt]Device#[/tt]) of your Trane for [tt][/tt]):
luup.call_action('urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveNetwork1','SendData',{Node='<nodeID>',Data='68 1 2'},1)And a second scene triggered by your bathroom light turning off, to set the fan mode to auto:
luup.call_action('urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveNetwork1','SendData',{Node='<nodeID>',Data='68 1 0'},1)Thanks
I’m going to order another Insteon switch for the bathroom and try it
Will you be able to get (instant) status reporting from that switch, so you can use it as a trigger?

Before I order another Insteon switch for the bathroom light I would like to test this code on my Insteon kitchen light.
switch.
My Trane thermostat is device 4
The Trane ZNID is 002
So would I paste
luup.call_action('urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveNetwork1','SendData',{Node='002>',Data='68 1 0'},1)into the luup code box on the kitchen light switch?
My thermostat also shows a ZHID fb.44.6.1.40
Sorry if these are stupid questions but I’ve never used any luup codes
