Turn on Ceiling Fan when HVAC is on?

Other Devices & Integrations Climate Control & Temperature Sensors
#1

I would like to use Vera2 to create a ‘scene’’ that turns on my ceiling fan whenever the fan is running on my furnace. I have a Wayne Dalton WDTC-20 thermostat and Leviton Vizia rf + fan control switch. I have tried the event triggers in the thermostat setup but not had any luck. Would appreciate any ideas.

I’m just bumping this because I’d like to do the same.

The below code turns my UV lights on/off with the operation of the A/C fan:
Create a timer to run every minute, plug the code in the Luup tab and adjust the device numbers accordingly.
T-stat = 14
UV lights = 197

[code]if( luup.variable_get(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HVAC_OperatingState1”,“ModeState”,14) ==

“Idle” and luup.variable_get(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:HVAC_FanOperatingMode1”,“Mode”,14) ~= “ContinuousOn”) then
if( luup.variable_get(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1”,“Status”,197) == “1” ) then

   luup.call_action("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1","SetTarget",{ newTargetValue="0" },197)

end
elseif(luup.variable_get(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1”,“Status”,197) == “0”) then

luup.call_action(“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1”,“SetTarget”,{ newTargetValue=“1” },197)
end[/code]

Far out!

It’s some times amazing to see what people do with Z-Wave gear.

I have some code very similar to JOD’s code that checks to see if my Geo-Thermal furnace is on between the hours of 3 - 5:30 pm. If it is it turns on the air exchanger. It polls every five minutes testing for either an “Idle” or “Heating” state. If the furnace fan turns off (Idle) then the air exchanger turns off as well.
