Thermostat settings for auto mode?

[jimmyfoo]

Apologies if this is a noob question, but shouldn’t you be able to set both a heat and cool setpoint on a range like 70-78F on a thermostat?

Looking at the mode settings when auto is selected I just see one temp setting.

I would like to know how this works as well. Do you set the heat and cool set points, then place the thermostat in auto mode?

Additionally, I would like to understand how this would work for the different MODES. Can I set a wide range while I am on vacation? 82/55 then a tight range when I am at home 72/68?

There’s another thread dedicated to this topic, but at this time you cannot see nor set both setpoints in UI7 or in the app. However, you can write a scene to set the thermostat to auto mode, and set both heat and cool setpoints using the “Advanced Editor” window. I have both “Thermostat Away” and “Thermostat Home” scenes. See thread here: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,27712.0.html

Here is the luup code I have in a scene so I can lower the temp from my Pebble watch.
The parts you really want are the TemperatureSetpoint1_Heat and _Cool.

…
local device=57

local current_temp =luup.variable_get(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1”, “CurrentTemperature”, device)

local hot_temp =luup.variable_get(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSetpoint1_Heat”,“CurrentSetpoint”, device)

local cold_temp =luup.variable_get(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSetpoint1_Cool”,“CurrentSetpoint”, device)

local new_hot_set= hot_temp -2
local new_cold_set= cold_temp -2

luup.call_action(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSetpoint1_Heat”,
“SetCurrentSetpoint”, {NewCurrentSetpoint = new_hot_set},
device)

luup.call_action(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSetpoint1_Cool”,
“SetCurrentSetpoint”, {NewCurrentSetpoint = new_cold_set},
device)
