In the veraedge interface, one can’t really use the thermostat’s auto function because the interface only allows you to set one temperature - not the cool and heat temps.
Is this possible to set via PLEG? e.g. put the thermostat into AutoOn, and then set the two temps? i’ve been playing with it but it doesn’t work in my case (see attached)… The condition is evaluating to true and yet the thermostats are staying on their last setting (e.g. Off or Cool). i’m not sure if my actions are wrong or if i’m simply trying to do something that isn’t possible.
Mode options when used in actions (i.e. the internal values, not the user interface names) are actually:
AutoChangeOver
HeatOn
CoolOn
Off
Thanks Richard using AutoChangeOver worked perfectly!
@qwichman, would you so kindly post your latest working PLEG report to provide others insight to how you solved your problem, Mike
Here you go…
In my case I have a separate HVAC upstairs and downstairs, thus why you see a reference to upstairs and downstairs.
Also I wanted my thermostats to turn off when I was away or on vacation, and anytime i came home to set to auto with a heat temp of 68 and a cool temp of 75/78 (downstairs/upstairs). This device deals only with setting the thermostat to auto when the veraedge goes to home mode (i.e. we’re home). I control turning the termostats off through the normal veraedge away and vacation scenes.
you can ignore the device properties… I only added those to see what some of the variables in the thermostats were currently set to when I was working on my condition to troubleshoot
@gwichman, many thanks for sharing. I see that your PLEG example has been already downloaded by others… ;D including myself. Mike
