CT50 Radio Thermostat not in gateway [solved]

[Kilo95]

I just added a CT50 Radio Thermostat to the collection. I set it up per Radio Thermostat to my home wifi and I am able to access it via their app. I reserved an address for it in my router and put that address in the settings on the Pi Gateway page but it never shows up in my Gateway. Any suggestions?

Did you manually add a new thermostat node?

i added it in the settings page on the Pi Gateway page. I double checked that it was in the settings.json5 file and it was there. am i missing somewhere else?

[sparky]

Yes, to add a new empty node, go to the terminal screen and type a new node ID and NEW in the message box then click SEND

[sparky]

After you add the NEW node you will have to add a new Event that's called "Thermostat status poll"  It polls approximately every 30 seconds.

does it have to be any specific node number or just one that isnt in use?

[sparky]

Any number that's not used..  I used 99

[Kilo95]

i used 6 which isnt in use but it didnt show up. is there somewhere else i have to put the 6 to tie it to the thermostat?

Did you see the new node show up in the Dashboard?

[Kilo95]

no

What Gateway version are you using?

the latest one felix put out. since i sent the message to add node 6 NEW, the only thing that shows up in my gateway is my sump pump. none of the three weathershields show up

[Kilo95]

The thermostat doesn’t show up either. The sump pump shows up on the gateway but the Count shows 0. The sump pump reading does update. Any ideas?

First you need to add the node as sparky mentioned. This will be a "special" node which you define as thermostat (wifi). Set the IP address in the node settings. As long as it is active on the network and responds to queries, the node should update by the polling mechanism of this special node type.

By define it as thermostat, you mean selecting it when it shows up on the gateway? I added a new node by sending a message in the terminal 6 and NEW. Since then the other nodes don’t show up In the gateway. Any ideas on a fix ? My Weathershield is still sending through the same RPi to WU.
