ZWaveThermostat is one of two “device-level” components in a ZWaveNetwork, and represents a specific thermostat node (the other device-level component type is the ZWaveDevice). Each has a Points device extension (ZWavePointDeviceExt) that contains all proxy points for polling.

A ZWaveThermostat has the standard device component properties such as status and enabled (see “Common device components” in the Drivers Guide for general information). Common Z-Wave device properties include its unique Node Id, Node Info, and Device Profile. Depending on the specific Z-Wave command class(es) supported by the device, one or more command class containers are dynamically added to each ZWaveThermostat, and proxy (control) points are also created.

The default view for a ZWaveThermostat is its property sheet. A number of actions are also typically available. For more details, see ZWaveDevice and Types of ZWave device components.
