2441TH Thermostat Notify

[mcgedoue]

Seems simple enough, but I can seem to get below notify variable to work.

Just want to be notified I'm away if the temp inside goes above or below range below to indicate a problem.

There doesn't seem to be the built in variable in the message options, so found the wiki article about Custom Email Substitution Variables.

http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i_Series_INSTEON:Custom_Email_Substitution_Variables

I still can't seem to get it to notify with current Tstat indoor temp.

 

If

         <Whatever program here>

 

Then
        Send Notification to 'Text' content 'Message'

------------------------------------------------------

Message Body...

Thermostat temp is: ${sys.node.11 22 AA 1.ST}

Not sure if it is a typo on your post or in your program but you need to alter...

 

Or Status 'Thermostat - Main' < 60° (Temperature)

[mcgedoue]

Yes that was a typo, but the issue is getting the correct tstat variable to actually send me a text with current temp

[clarkes71]

This is the only way I know of to get the current temp to variable.  One program for each temp or maybe break up into temp ranges, like temp between 85-90 and set $i.tstat to 87.5 (or something like that).

If
        Status  'Hallway 01 / Thermostat- Main' is 90° (Temperature)
 
Then
        $i.tstat  = 90
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Hello everyone,

 

This feature is coming shortly.

 

With kind regards,

Not to revive an old thread, but ... did something ever get implemented that would allow for easy capture of the current temp as reported by the Insteon thermostat?

 

I'd like a program to alert me when the outside temp is the same as inside (as reported by the thermostat) and I haven't figured out a good way to do it yet.

Get v5.0.4.

Piece of cake.

 

For a sample look for the "Venstat sensor"

[MrTinker]

How stable is v5.0.4? I haven't done anything with v5 yet. Looks like it's still alpha/beta? I should probably stay away

 

Good to know it'll be there when I move to v5 though

[MWareman]

It's Alpha, not yet Beta. It's considered only appropriate for developers on their non-primary system.

 

That being said - several appear to be running it fine. YMMV - but keep a good backup!
