Support for battery powered z-wave thermostat devices #77

Closed RichCattell closed 9 years ago

RichCattell commented 9 years ago

The current implementation appears to assume that a thermostat device is always awake and able to receive set-point messages from HomeGenie when temperature is changed in a Thermostat widget. Could support be added to allow set-point messages to be sent to thermostat devices on wakeup?

I have a battery powered thermostat (Horstmann HRT4-ZW) and when i try to change the set point in the HomeGenie widget i get a "Node Response Timeout!" message. The minimum wake up time i can set on this device is 256 seconds..

@genielabs Gene, I think it would be great to implement a message queue for all battery powered devices. It would allow to get manufacture specific node information with no need to manually wake up the device for setup. Also configuration parameters could be stored onto device asynchronously.

A Message queue for Z-Wave devices is a very good idea.. i think this would be a great additon to HomeGenie!

I also use some battery powered Danfoss Thermostats and have similar issues as Rich. I therefore also would like to ask for an implementation of the message queue.
