Tyler,

Do you have any 4 wire thermostats in the works? Every single wireless electric baseboard heater thermostat is 2 wire. I’m currently using Caleo (2 wire thermostat) connected to my 4 wire baseboard heaters in 4 locations in my house. If someone came out with something that worked with SmartThings and was 4 wire, i’d throw my money at that product immediately. I don’t know if that type of wiring is new and uncommon, too expensive, too little demand or what. No one wants to make them. You’d probably have the market all to yourselves!

Cool. Any idea on availability online in the US? I have a supplemental baseboard heater in my home office. Having this would make a great addition to my setup.

Looks like Sinope just released the API. Unfortunately it’s only for control4 right now.
Here’s their release.
"Our Application Programming Interface (API) is now available for authorized professional integrators. We are currently working to make our platform compatible with many automation systems. Check this section regularly for the latest developments."

Guys I’m new in this form…Good news for you… I bought 2 Sinope thermostat a month ago. I did some investigation and I got the API for it. the cod for device handler is ready and it’s working good. I will put the code soon after I clean it up…

That would be really good news indeed. I am pretty happy with Sinope even without the API but with an API. Now that would be super cool.

For Sinope API Please use this

Sinop Device handle

Thanks to the great folks on this forum I had the guts to pull the trigger on the SinopƩ starter kit today. Thanks for your insight!

I look forward to seeing how it works with ST, and hopefully some lower heating costs.

Mdbashi,

your code is working great! installed it and it’s working thank you very much.

For those thinking of Sinope Thermostats I recommended them for a somewhat ā€œsmartā€ baseboard thermostats. They are really the only thing out there and really the best bang for your buck!

Now to make them smarter so that they can respond to outside temperature or talk to each other.

The stelpro zwave thermostat is out and will available in the US in the next few weeks (I spoke to the company yesterday). It seems promising.

Do you know where it can be bought? I tried renodepot and homedepot (both in canada - montreal) but they didn’t have this specific model.

I called the company and they gave me the name of the closest distributor to me in the US, but said it wouldn’t be here for 2-3 weeks. I’m guessing once we get to that point we will see more availability online, etc.

Thank you for sharing! @Mdbashi

I have installed this but do not appear to be connecting to a thermostat.

How do i find my device id?

@Robrage when creating the device what did you put in the ā€œDevise Network Idā€. Just a random #?

The device ID mean which thermostate you want to communicate with …
For example if you have three thermostate and you want to control the first one Device id will be 1,for secound thermostate will be 2 for the third will be 3.

You will get the thermostate name in first tile when you enter the device id and you save it. In other word what you put on nieweb for that thermostat name will be in first tile

Yes … usually I put 1

I have 4 thermostats. Devise # 3 is not connecting. Ant advise?

What about The other two? 1 and 2

Strange enough my #1 and #6 refused to connect with this log message. All the other thermostats connected with no issue.
I noticed 2 of my other thermostats were blank until I pressed the home and refresh icons.
