Can I read via ZWave the current room temperature with this device? Meaning, can I see the actual temperature while I am away?

Yes You Can see the Actual Temperature of the room but make sure the Frequency of the device is compatible with your controller or not

No; this is not a Z-Wave device. This is a ZigBee device - I believe it conforms to the ZigBee Home Automation standard but I'm not 100% sure.

Bryan I just checked the instructions for my meter and it refers to using "special K type thermocouples" to actually touch something to get temperature, but I cannot remember if my meter came with any. That does not mean it didn't, I may have misplaced them. This function was not a big concern of mine so I never used it. The meter does read ambient temp just by putting it on the setting. Also be aware that the reading in Celsius, not F, if that is a concern you will obviously need to convert, however, not really a big deal. Hope this helps. Mike

It should show room temp...Turn ac or heat off for awhile and it should change...

Probably...the difficulty is going to be getting the sensor to be able to read something that is not static....but, will give you a general idea of the temperature, I think.

It shows the actual temperature (in celcius). You have to go through the menu to see the set point.

Digital display will give you a precise temperature readout (if it is calibrated with a temperature probe). I am very happy with my FX888D. Be sure to read the instructions a couple of times; it is a little confusing on how to setup the presets, and if you do not do it right you will end up changing the temperature calibration.

Well it works with the 2 gig zwave control panel, but specifically I believe it communicates via 900 mgh tot he panel. Zwave is when you are turning thing on/off up down like a light switch or thermostat. Those zwave control instructions travel on a different wavelegnth than the smoke and co2 detectors.

In my opinion, the most important thing to keep in mind with this device is "phase". It "detects" better at specific angles to the EM source. So, just proximity to an energy source will not always create a reading because of the phase +/- of the source. Don't use sudden movements but rather steady, deliberate ones. Be aware of your temperature changes when the EMF reading changes, i.e. greater than 1-degree temperature changes. Don't miss your EVP opportunities when either reading changes! - Joe from O.R.C.S.

I have a device that reports temp on the outside with a probe and when i bought this thermostat I did not care about that feature but i kept checking just to see how accurate it was and it is always within 2 degrees from my device which is pretty good considering it is getting it from the internet. I really like this thermostat which is why i updated the threads on this purchase but rarely do on my other purchases. I am really glad i did not get the nest because of what my friend told me about his and the fights he had with his wife because he has to tell her not to change the setting cause it will learn what you do!

Unit is a wall mount. Replaced my old thermostat. If it is close to the heater it will not be able to judge the room temperature. Love the unit, has a normal and economy mode we use when away from the house.

Yeah, it seems to not be all that accurate. I use a Bluetooth ambient gauge and monitor temp that way. You could probably swap out the thermometer with another but I've found this solution fits my needs better.

Hi,If you change the mode to fan or dehumidify the current temp will display. Otherwise the temp shows the desired temp, rather than current temp.

And I don't think so. As far as I know the z-wave system only supports on or off status - it does not give a sensor for load.

Go to the Installer Mode on your thermostat, and set variable 340 to one of the following:0 - Display temp. at thermostat location only1 - Display temp. at indoor sensor location(s)2 - Average between thermostat & sensor location(s)When you change the setting, you should notice the temperature read-out change based on what was selected.Unfortunately there is no way to read the individual sensor if you have several. These can only work as one external sensor, or an average of 4 sensors, but nothing in between.

Sorry, I use it with WiFi and monitor remotely via internet. I have not idea if this would work with Z Wave protocol.

Yes you can. You can even view the external temperature but I think that is taken from whatever the temperature report in your zip code is at the moment. I use this for my cottage.
