Trane Thermostat - changing modes: Normal / Run <-> Energy Saving (ESM)

I’ve never gotten this to work - hoping someone knows how to fix this…

Example:
Manually set the TStat to ESM
Have a Vera scene, or use the Device to select Normal / Run
… nothing happens. It never changes the mode.

Anyone know hot to get Vera to change the mode?

No one can help!?

It’s not obvious … but you can go into Energy Saving Mode with:

luup.call_action(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1”, “SetTarget” {newTargetValue=0}, ThermostateDeviceID);

And return to previous mode with:
luup.call_action(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1”, “SetTarget” {newTargetValue=1}, ThermostateDeviceID);

Basically you are treating the Thermostat as a Binary switch!
