[Hai-users] can't get RC80 to talk to my OmniLT

Sun Nov 6 12:28:39 CST 2005

Thank you all very much for your suggestions - I've been really busy
this weekend but I'll be able to try all this good stuff tonight or
tomorrow night and I'll let you know how it goes.  I really appreciate
all the help.

Take the thermostat off the wall and connect directly to the Omni with a
small jumper. I know you're 100% positive it's not the wiring, this will
just put that to rest. I've been that positive before as well (and been
proven wrong!).

I have never seen it documented.  Even when I worked at HAI, it was
something tech support would tell you about, but I have never seen it in
black and white.

To be more literal about the issue; if you have an Omni Pro II with 64
Thermostats (I have seen this setup in PA) you can not install any temp
or humidity sensor in zones 1-64 of the Omni Pro II

Is the conflict between thermostats and temperature zones documented
somewhere? I understand the problem but can't recall seeing it in black
and white.

	Verify you also do not have a temperature sensor or humidity
sensor on input 1 of the HAI.  This will conflict with the thermostat.

	Ok, set the LT to auto heat/cool and the RC80 to auto changeover
(no fan with heat) but still not getting any control.  I also put the
display options back to 1 which is default.  Basically everything is
back to defaults.

	Hmm.. is there any other troubleshooting I could try?  

	-          Are "addresses" with the omniLT irrelevant?

	-          Do I need any zones setup for the thermostat with the
OmniLT?  Currently I do not have any - just my regular burglar zones.

	-          Is there some other configuration on the Omni that I
might be missing?  I've read through the manual several times now - it
seems like it's pretty straight forward.

	Thanks,

	dan

	Just for Grins, I would change the thermostat in the OmniLT type
to Auto Heat/Cool. Simply because that is the type thermostat it is. Not
necessarily how you are going to use it.

	The Display Option set to 5 disables the built in program in the
thermostat. So it does not override what the Omni tells it to do.

	Thanks brad.  I have the omniLT thermostat 1 set as "heat only"
for my gas forced air furnace.  I also have the thermostat set to #13
"heat only (fan on with heat)"

	Address of the RC80 is 1

	Communication mode of the RC80 is 1 (OmniLT)

	Display Options is set to 5 (Fahrenheit am/pm time format
non-programmable)

	I'm not sure what non-programmable means or if it is
significant.  None of the other settings seem to matter.  I'm pretty
confident with my cabling.

	Weeeeird stuff.   At least I got my phone going just now!  Just
had to actually turn it on in the phone menu.

	Any help with the thermostat stuff is appreciated.

	Thanks again

	dan

	Did you set the correct thermostat type in the Omnilt?

	Hello, I just purchased an OmniLT kit.  Everything is going
pretty well but I can't get my OmniLT and RC80 communicating.  I have
the red and black wires spliced together at the thermostat.  I'm using
green, black and yellow which connects into the corresponding connectors
on the LT.  Everything seems in order.  I'm using communication mode 1
and I have tried address 0 and 1 although the Omni LT doesn't seem to
use addresses so maybe that doesn't matter.

	I am not able to trigger the fan from the OmniLT control panel
or read the temperature.  Basically I have no interaction it seems.  If
anyone can offer some tips or ideas that would be really appreciated.

	Thanks,

	Dan Wheeler
