I'm a Home Seer convert and have an extensive array of Insteon - 24+ dimmers, 2 PIR, a door sensor and a Venstar and Insteon adapter. So far I love it and it makes life easier especially with the remote access via Mobilinc.
I've also just "jumped in" with ISY thermostat control.
I have a Venstar 1800 and Insteon adapter, and have been sending very simple commands so far based on a time setting and then a mode and set point
Typically
If ...
time is between XX.XXam and YY.YYpm (or a fixed time) - or - if State Variable = ZZ
Then...
Set Mode Heat
Set Heatpoint 70deg
else….
And then the Same for cooling cycle.
Now I have ventured into the "Auto" mode on the T'stat and am having a few glitches. Its probably simple, but I need some help to debug….. please
At the end of the day I set a time to activate a night cooling
Then
Set Mode Auto
Set Coolpoint 68
Set Heatpoint 64
In the morning I have this statement in a another timed program for the daytime period
Then
Set Mode Auto
Set Heatpoint 72
Set Coolpoiint 76
The logic here is that at night we like to be cool, but not too cool and during the day we like to be warm but the sun sometimes takes the ambient over a comfortable level.
Here is the problem.
When the system switches over to the day time mode from night time, and if the system was running and in heat mode, then the thermostat displays a heat point of 66 degrees and a cool point of 76 instead of the expected 72 heat and 76 cool
I checked the event log and it reports ISY sending Heat at 132 to the stat even though the program list sates it should be 72(144) but the cool point is correct at 76 (152)
I've experimented inserting "wait" statements to see if the commands are going out too fast, and its made no difference. The event is repeatable but accept that I'm overlooking something obvious here
I will add that Iam using Mobilincon my iPhone and am polling the thermostat status using the thermostat screen and can adjust the set points OK from that utility
I am running 4.2.18
Thanks in advance for help with this. I hope I explained my problem well enough
