Can't set temperature and power consumption does not work

All, maybe this will help the developers : one of my Stelpro ZWave Thermostats is recognized by Smarthings as “Generic Z-Wave Thermostat” I am not sure why it was recognized this way but it is the only one not affected by the problem.
I still can change the temperature or switch modes. Other 9 thermostats are recognized as “Stelpro” and affected by the problem. If Smarthings would start recognizing all thermostats as “generic” - it could solve the problem.

Meanwhile - there is a workaround that appears to work (credit to this post Stelpro STZW402WB+ Unable to adjust temperature - #5 by ag2000)

  1. Open the Google Home app and ensure the Google account listed is the one you used to set up your Google Home.
  2. Tap the + in the top left-hand corner.
  3. Tap “set up device”, then Works with Google.
  4. Search for SmartThings and tap it.
  5. You’ll be asked to sign into SmartThings: Enter your Samsung or SmartThings account email address.
  6. Authorize the link, allowing access to locations.

Note that you do not need neither Google nor Amazon hardware, your Apple or Android apps are sufficient. I was able to apply the workaround while being remote (no need to be on the local network with your devices while setting it up).
