Ecobee - Humidty Setpoint

Hi io_guy,

 

I noticed today that using NodeLink, ISY is reporting a humidity setpoint of 36%, when the setpoint (dehumidify) in the house is at 54%, humidify is off, and the actual humidity is 55%.  I assume you're just displaying whatever ecobee reports as the setpoint, but any ideas why it might be off?

 

Thanks!

Log below.  I think I see the issue...there are two setpoints for desired humidity at lines 47 & 48 - 'desiredHumidity' and 'desiredDehumidity'.  Since we're in AC mode, the 'desiredDehumidity' is the actual humidity setpoint.  (Incidentally humidify is off - so it's interesting it's returning a value at all for that, not sure where 36 is coming from - it's not in any of my heat programs either.)

 

Maybe use the dehumidify is system is in cool mode and humidify if it's in heat mode?

 

Thanks!!

Maybe use the dehumidify is system is in cool mode and humidify if it's in heat mode?

 

 

Kind of cheating the system.  The humidity (humidifier) setpoint is 36, since your heat setpoint is so low (58).  The 54 is the dehumidifier setpoint.

Fair point - although humidifying while cooling or dehumidifying while heating are sort of odd use cases.  8)   Any chance of adding the dehumidifier setpoint?

 

Thanks!
