Stelpro releases the first Z-Wave Plus Line-Voltage thermostat: the STZW402+ Stelpro Ki Thermostat

Has anyone successfully controlled this thermostat via Alexa. It works fine with the smart things app. But when I use Alexa she says the device is in a mode that doesn’t accept requests.she tells me to change its mode in the app or on the device. Is there a way to make this change?
