* * IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ * *
Some makes and models of Z-Wave Thermostats do not broadcast or voluntarily send their data to the
VRC0P-1LW (vizia rf+3). The result will be that M1 will display "Not Enabled" since it doesn't have any
information from the Thermostat to display. The only solution for this is to POLL the Thermostat(s) to obtain
their status and information. See Step 7 and Table 7 concerning Advanced or Optional TEXT Strings available
with the M1XSLZW.
