Another successful Honeywell T6 install (lemmy.ca)

Here we go. The setup was pretty trivial. The setup for the Zooz GPIO Z-Wave adapter for Yellow was trivial. Adding the T6 was trivial too. I had to install 2x Z-Wave smart plugs to extend the network from where the Yellow is to where the thermostat is. I used Leviton Z-Wave smart plugs. Finally I added the automation I wanted this whole thing for. Seems to work ™

The only downside I can see so far is that the T6 doesn’t support multi-speed fan (G1/G2/G3 wiring) so I had to choose one of the speeds while wiring and I can’t use the rest. From what I can tell Ecobee seems to be able to use G1/2/3 but I’m not ready to give up on the ethernet-independent operation T6 and Z-Wave allow to have multiple fan speeds.

Does anyone know if there’s a (non-retail) variant of the T6 that supports multi-speed fan?

I needed some thermostat automation done and I stumbled upon this thread. I just attempted this and it went about as smoothly as I can imagine. If you're also in need of an offline solution, the Z-Wave version of the Honeywell T6 seems to do the job.

FYI, there is a Scheduler card that might make that automation easier.

That looks way easier than what I got going on. I'll check it out.
