TRANE XL1050 WiFi Thermostats
Hi All,
I'm working on a project with (3) Trane XL1050 WiFi TStats, attempting to use the 'TraneClimateLIB v1.0 Comm IP' Crestron module. Has any one successfully done this (or alternative method)? I have set the Tstats to reserved DHCP addresses via their Wifi interface matching this in their respective modules, and tried pairing but No Talkie... The module help does not indicate any 'Vendor setup' other than the obvious IP addressing and the default port. Of course we're trying to get a tech support number for Trane, but even if we do, I'm afraid I'll hear crickets from the staff on this subject. Anyone have any experience with this?? TIA! |
Thanks Jeff for the response - I have confirmed with TB regarding this (another hour wasted on the phone)
Such a Digital Age bummer! I love when I go to finish a project and find that I can't finish the project...:( I think I have a temporary work-around (one that of course with cost me more $$$) as the developer has indicated that they are working with TRANE to resolve the AUTH issue that apparently was caused by newer processor FW... I'm hopeful that they will have a fix soon... The recommended *fix* is to put another 3-series proc in the site with 1.503 FW running the TRANE modules and EISC the signals to the main processor...Arrggghh... What really frosts me is how we all seem to get blind-sided with this stuff. Did I miss the memo? or should I finally consider it normal to do all the work, trouble-shoot and then find out thru the 'Grape-Vine' that this is the case... I will make it a point to update here, if/when I get a resolution... |
Just thought I'd update this thread, though not with any good news...
I have been communicating with Control Concepts, the CSP that built the module that worked fine until Crestron/Trane screwed things up. They have been working consistently to resolve this, but still have not had success. Not sure that I understand how this can not be resolved or at least determined to be a lost cause... I will say that Victoria at CC has been fantastic with communications and updates... That said it looks like the only solution in the foreseeable future is to use an RMC3 with v1.503 - so lame!... |
Thanks for the update, Chris!

I have a client that's been waiting over a year for this to be resolved, and just asked me about it (again) yesterday :-) --- On Friday, January 7, 2022 at 1:17 PM, Chris Kangis wrote: |
To add to this, when True Blue was helping us with this issue last year, they found that although the 1.503 firmware did work, they could only get it to work with a single thermostat. It wouldn't work with multiple thermostats/modules in the same program, or even in different program slots.

I guess a separate RMC3 could be used for each thermostat... :-) --- On Friday, January 7, 2022 at 1:17 PM, Chris Kangis wrote: |
Crestron has just released new 3-series firmware that resolves the TLS handshaking problem. ?The version is 1.8001.0133. I?have been testing with the last known released module/demo program and it is working well. ?I also created a test program with two thermostats to test that each would connect and could be controlled independently - that is also working as expected.

That's great news, thanks!

What is the "last known released" version of the module? The one I have is "TraneClimateLIB v1.0 Comm IP.umc", from the "TraneClimate v1.0 Demo IP CP3" example program. --- On Tuesday, March 1, 2022 at 5:30 PM, ajhan81 wrote: |
One important caveat!! There is a console command SUPPORTRSAAES128ciph that must be enabled for the secure TLS communication to work. ?This console command enables one of the ciphers Crestron removed from the firmware, but is required by the Trane thermostat. ?Type "supportrsaaes128 on" in the Crestron console and reboot your processor. ?You can check that it's enabled by typing "supportrsaaes128". ?Make sure you enable this before attempting to connect the module, otherwise the module will not connect.

Just wanted to give this one a quick bump as we had to deal with these this week.? We ran into a bug during install on the module v1.1 which displayed this error sporadically when changing setpoints:
[ The setpoint requested violate the deadband set by the user. ] |
