I have added a z-wave thermostat to my homey and it displayed that the device was unsupported. Switched to a beta version of that particular app but device is still listed as generic… what do I need o do to make it available under the updated app?

Thanks

If it is supported in the beta app, you’ll have to-repair the device (remove and add again)
