Hi! I have read and read as many posts as I can find on THermostat scenes and am stumped. I have a Trane Thermostat. I have a scene that sets the temp at 10pm and leave it for 10 hours, then sets it to another temp. That seems to be the extent to which the dashboard on the MIos/Vera will let you set temps. I am wondering if I could write a luup script to allow
10pm temp to 76
11pm tempt to 75
8 am temp to 77
?? Anyplace I can go to find how to write this?
Lastly - is there a way to run separate times for M-F and Weekends in the same scene?
I programmed the internal scheudule in the thermostat but it will not work?!?! Neither will switching between NORMAL and ESM. I think its either Vera or internal - it won’t work with both?
[quote=“capjay, post:2, topic:176486”]you don’t need Luup scripts to do any of the above… Create more than one scene, each triggered by schedule to do what you want for example:
Scene A to set the AC to 76 at 10 PM workdays.
Scene B to set the AC to 75 at 11 PM workdays.
… and so on.[/quote]
Thx.
Would I have to select “RUN” on each scene every day or would the timer in each automatically run the scene? Also-I have one scene the sets everything when we leave the house-I assume when I " RUN" that scene it will over-ride the multiple HVAC scenes at home?
No. “Run” is meant to force the scene to run now regardless of schedule or triggers. Vera will automatically run the right scene when the time (and triggers) are right.
Your away scene will not override the others. You’ll need a way to tell Vera that you are “away” and that certain scenes should not run when you are away. One way to do this is to use the “virtual switch” plugin. A good example can be found here: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,9897.msg66879.html#msg66879

Thanks for any an all help[/quote]
I have the same thermostat.
For the winter heating season I created separate scenes to raise heat and lower heat
Within the scenes add timers
For the summer as long as we are not away the AC remains at 72. If away I set the AC at 78

Ok I found two Virtual switch plug ins. When I DL them to my dashboard they look like a toggle switch…no buttons. Now how would I go about configuring the Virtual Switch to turn the HVAC scene on an off. Then how would I point to the switch in an “AWAY” scene?
Click Save/Reload and then refresh your browser page and you should get some buttons turn up.
You can get a scene to trigger from the VirtualSwitch by selecting it with Automation, New scene, TRIGGERS, Add trigger, Please select device, A device is turned on or off, etc.
