I have just received my Vera and Wayne Dalton Thermostat. Looks like everything is working fine with the controls (I’m using the WD stand-alone, not connected to my HVAC, to test it with separate power supply).
Two questions:
1/ I have set up scenes that switch between heat and cool, as appropriate, when the temp gets outside of my temp range as I don’t think there’s a way to have the WD unit or Vera choose Heat or Cool automatically - the Auto button doesn’t seem to do anything. Anyone else use this and did you set up scenes for switching Heat/Cool or work around this some other way? Ideally I just want to set the heat and cool set points and let the WD choose.
2/ When the WD is in the Heat or Cool setting Vera thinks it is using energy, all the time. In reality, the WD is only heating or cooling if the temp is outside of the set point. Am I doing this incorrectly? Vera knows the real temperature so should be able to assume the the ED of off even though it’s still in Heat mode. DO I need to change my scenes to turn the unit OFF when it should not be heating or cooling?
Thanks,
Neilios
