Z-Wave Thermostat Battery Status?

[jsulliweb (Sully)]

Ok, so I’m still digging on this… I also found this reference on the HomeSeer board:

HS3 and CT100 Thermostat - HomeSeer Message Board

If you scroll down, there are some good pics showing the zwave info. One in this one also indicates something else happening. Though, in this one, it calls it a channel (Channel 2 specifically), not a device… Doing a little digging on the ST boards relating to multi-channel, instead of sub-device, I came across this:

Zwave Power Strip from AEON

My fear is that it is going to be locked down to the Staples Connect platform (hence the price discount). I have never had any issues with z-wave devices being platform specific in the past (unlike Zigbee which are almost always platform specific) so I am hoping that holds true. Each outlet seems to have an LED light above it to indicate power on/off, so I hope that means each of the 4 outlets is independent. The description also seems to indicate the outlets will report power usage which would be a huge plus for my intended set-up.

It looks like the CT100 may be using an older style(?) of zwave communication for this. If so, there’s some code in there that might help. I’ll keep digging and see if I can find anything more solid.
