Creating a smart thermostat with PLEG - having issues

Plugins & Plugin Development Program Logic (PLEG)
1

I am trying to create a smart thermostat that does the following:

  • Turns off when doors or windows are opened, returns to normal when closed
  • Goes down when alarm is on stay and comes back up in the morning or when alarm is disarmed

What is happening though is that the alarm turns off and stays off when a door is opened. And in the morning, the upstairs thermostat doesn’t return to normal.

It’s driving us insane.

Any advice on what I am doing wrong?

I have not looked over everything … but I thing you want:

AutoOff   DoorsOpen and (DoorsOpen; NOW > 0:45)

The second part of the expression will become true 1 minute after any Door or Window is open.
Otherwise event with a quick exit it will trip.

Also:

(!DownstairsMotion; NOW > 2:00))

This will pretty much always be true, except for the 2 minutes after motion actually stops.
You probable want something llike:

DownstairsNight   !Morning AND (AlarmStay AND (AlarmStay; !DownstairsMotion; NOW > 2:00))

This says after the motion stops after the Alarm is set … fire the action.
