Hi,
I am not sure how to work with Z-Wave at all but I am still trying my best. So I did something I was sure it would work but it doesn't. I was trying to change the temperature to 26.

Hi,
The docs [GitHub - OpenZWave/node-red-contrib-openzwave: OpenZWave nodes for node-red](https://github.com/OpenZWave/node-red-contrib-openzwave#--zwave-out) say
> Currently only "plain/basic" datatypes are supported (ints, floats etc), more complex ones, eg values with units such as thermostat setpoints are not yet supported
I don't know if this is the reason why it does not work for you (unfortunately, I do not have a zwave thermostat)
Do you have other zwave devices that work?
Edit: see also [Support for thermostat setpoints and Modes · Issue #67 · OpenZWave/node-red-contrib-openzwave · GitHub](https://github.com/OpenZWave/node-red-contrib-openzwave/issues/67)

Which zwave node are you using ? openzwave or openzwave-am ?
I wasn't able to get the openzwave node to work, the -am version works for me.

@cinhcet I saw this post but it did not help me because I did not understand what he meant with the file link. I think that is my problem because the rest of what he is saying I already did.

These things keep popping up in my terminal when I try to change the values. Maybe the thermostat went in standby before receiving the message, I don't know. What is the problem?
