I have installed an HSM100 that aims to check the temperature and it it goes below a set point switch on a heater.
The Appliance module is working fine as is the HSM100 at providing temperatures etc.
I have set up a Scene that has an Event that if the temperature from the Temperature Sensor goes below 19 Deg C then it should trigger the command turn on the Appliance for 15 secs (for testing).
When I run the Event it appears to be ignoring the trigger (i.e. below 19 Degs) and just switches on the Appliance anyhow irrespective of the temperature!
This is my first attempt at setting up Events so I don’t discount I may have borked up, but it all seems relatively simple and wondering if I am encountering the dreaded <> bug that was being ignored from a while ago?
I am currently running a Vera 1 with UI4/1.1.1234 firmware.
Any help appreciated as this makes the setup pretty useless if I can’t get the HSM to trigger actions
When you run the scene, basically you tell to Vera that the event happen (simulation) and check if it handles it correctly. It doesn’t in fact check the event. Therefore nothing wrong so far…
When setting up scenes based on the HSM, you will also have to keep in mind that, except for motion detection, the HSM doesn’t react instantly. It sleeps for x seconds (you set it up, but usually 1800 sec.) and then reports to Vera. Vera will then take actions for any event programmed.
Ahh … thanks, okay makes sense (kind of but seems a pointless way to debug these sorts of things as doesn’t test any of the logic)!
So then how do I manage the Scene to say I want to keep it switched off (e.g. away from the house) or run it between certain times only (I can see the Timers but I read that this only fires the Event off at a certain date/time)?
Is there any decent documentation on Events (what I have seen is pretty sparse, but everything seems to be spread across forums, wikis, mios and other areas making it a dog to try and educate yourself)?!
