ThermIQ Temperature Sensor - ZWave |
{% include base.html %}
This describes the Z-Wave device ThermIQ Temperature Sensor, manufactured by BeNext with the thing type UID of benext_thermiqtemp_00_000.
The device is in the category of Sensor, defining Device used to measure something.
The ThermIQ Temperature Sensor supports routing. This allows the device to communicate using other routing enabled devices as intermediate routers. This device is unable to participate in the routing of data from other devices.
The ThermIQ Temperature Sensor does not permanently listen for messages sent from the controller - it will periodically wake up automatically to check if the controller has messages to send, but will sleep most of the time to conserve battery life. Refer to the Wakeup Information section below for further information.

- Enable inclusion mode on the controller
- Press and hold tamper switch till the red led starts blinking
- Release tamper switch
- Remove the back cover
- Mount 2 AAA batteries
- Enable exclusion mode on the controller
- Press and hold tamper switch till the red led starts blinking
- Release tamper switch
The ThermIQ Temperature Sensor does not permanently listen for messages sent from the controller - it will periodically wake up automatically to check if the controller has messages to send, but will sleep most of the time to conserve battery life. The wakeup period can be configured in the user interface - it is advisable not to make this too short as it will impact battery life - a reasonable compromise is 1 hour.
The wakeup period does not impact the devices ability to report events or sensor data. The device can be manually woken with a button press on the device as described below - note that triggering a device to send an event is not the same as a wakeup notification, and this will not allow the controller to communicate with the device.
Device can be set to wake up on a set time interval
Typically used in combination with the Resistive High Power Dimmer for an IR Panel that is also delivered by ThermIQ. Set the temperature setpoint with THERMOSTAT_SETPOINT_SET and the Thermostat then controls the IR PANEL with BASIC_ON and BASIC_OFF. Still searching for specific documentation, adding BeNext config (Dutch) and Resistive High Power Dimmer doc.
The following table summarises the channels available for the ThermIQ Temperature Sensor -:
| Channel Name | Channel ID | Channel Type | Category | Item Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sensor (temperature) | sensor_temperature | sensor_temperature | Temperature | Number:Temperature |
| Setpoint (heating) | thermostat_setpoint | thermostat_setpoint | Heating | Number:Temperature |
| Alarm | alarm_general | alarm_general | Alarm | Switch |
| Battery Level | battery-level | system.battery_level | Battery | Number |
Indicates the current temperature.
The sensor_temperature channel is of type sensor_temperature and supports the Number:Temperature item and is in the Temperature category.
Sets the thermostat setpoint.
The thermostat_setpoint channel is of type thermostat_setpoint and supports the Number:Temperature item and is in the Heating category.
Indicates if an alarm is triggered.
The alarm_general channel is of type alarm_general and supports the Switch item and is in the Alarm category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device.
The following state translation is provided for this channel to the Switch item type -:
| Value | Label |
|---|---|
| OFF | OK |
| ON | Alarm |
Represents the battery level as a percentage (0-100%). Bindings for things supporting battery level in a different format (e.g. 4 levels) should convert to a percentage to provide a consistent battery level reading.
The system.battery-level channel is of type system.battery-level and supports the Number item and is in the Battery category.
This channel provides the battery level as a percentage and also reflects the low battery warning state. If the battery state is in low battery warning state, this will read 0%.
The device has no configuration parameters defined.
Association groups allow the device to send unsolicited reports to the controller, or other devices in the network. Using association groups can allow you to eliminate polling, providing instant feedback of a device state change without unnecessary network traffic.
The ThermIQ Temperature Sensor supports 1 association group.
The Lifeline association group reports device status to a hub and is not designed to control other devices directly. When using the Lineline group with a hub, in most cases, only the lifeline group will need to be configured and normally the hub will perform this automatically during the device initialisation.
Association group 1 supports 1 node.
