Need help?
Do you have a question about the Z-Wave TBZ500 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
The echolink will not sustain the selected temp
The Ecolink TBZ500 may not be sustaining the selected temperature due to the thermostat enforcing a 3-degree separation between heating and cooling setpoints. If the cooling setpoint is set below the heating setpoint, the thermostat automatically adjusts the heating setpoint lower, and vice versa. Additionally, any change to a mechanical system setting may cause the current HVAC operation to abort and start a new mode of operation (MOT), which may delay temperature regulation. Also, changes to MOT/MRT settings only take effect in the next cycle, which can impact temperature control.

Something changed with my heating and it's just running. I'm not sure what stage 1,2 and 3 mean but it changes around from those three and I've never noticed those small numbers before. Not sure how to get it back to working the way it was.
To reset the Ecolink Z-Wave TBZ500 thermostat to its original settings (both Z-Wave and HVAC settings):
1. Remove power from the TBZ500.
2. Restore power to the TBZ500.
3. When "TBZ500" appears on the screen, hold down the MODE and FAN buttons simultaneously.
4. Release the buttons when "RESET" appears on the status line.
5. Once the thermostat resets the Z-Wave and HVAC settings, a "DONE" confirmation message will appear on the screen before the thermostat self-reboots.
