I've several Zwave wired & battery powered devices inside my workshop. It's a separate structure (metal pole barn) than my main home, which is where my aeotec gen5 zstick resides. I'm having a hard time getting the zwave signal inside the workshop reliably. The one device inside the workshop that is most reliable is the GoControl GC-TBZ48 Thermostat. That thermostat is powered by the 24v feed from the workshop heater. The batteries are removed.
In Indigo 7.4 the thermostat shows up as a "battery powered" General Thermostat (v2). In the configure thermostat module it does show the proper model number and it does see it's five neighbors.
Will this device repeat zwave signals constantly since it's labelled as "battery powered"?
