SmartCommand Thermostat Installation Manual

RS485 protocol

The thermostat has a robust serial protocol. It is based on a simple ASCII message format as described in the Serial Communications Protocol manual, DCN: 150-00225.

Note: Not all of the commands/variables defined in the protocol document are applicable to the SmartCommand thermostat, check Section 8 of the protocol manual for details.

Thermostat network commands

Serial commands received by the control unit can set a new setpoint or a new mode and when received, they are sent to the WDU to update its display.

The thermostat also responds to request for status by serial commands and can provide all thermostat data and setup information as well as the current revisions of the WDU and controller firmware.

The following thermostat information can be sent or requested from the thermostat by the serial protocol:

Temperature

Heating setpoint

Cooling setpoint

System mode

Fan mode

F/C mode

HVAC output status

Network address

Any system variable

System firmware revisions
