ingeborgdot Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Unless I go into the console and query my thermostat every so often my thermostat reading is not accurate. It may show 71 on the thermostat readout on the wall but on any devices it shows something different until I go into the console and query it. Can anyone guide me to a place or help me to setup a program to get my thermostat to query every 10 minutes or so? I have set up programs before but then I don't do it for several years and forget. Thanks. Edited April 1, 2017 by ingeborgdot
ingeborgdot Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 Well, I figured it out but is there any way to put the times in faster than adding each one individually?
jtara92101 Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 Since we don't know what you wrote, it's hard for us to tell you how to make it better!
ingeborgdot Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 What, you mean you can't read my mind? This is one of them. Thermostat Query - [iD 0021][Parent 0001][Not Enabled][Run At Startup]If Time is 12:00:00AM Or Time is 12:30:00AM Or Time is 1:00:00AM Or Time is 1:30:00AM Or Time is 2:00:00AM Or Time is 2:30:00AM Or Time is 3:00:00AM Or Time is 3:30:00AM Or Time is 4:00:00AM Or Time is 4:20:00AM Or Time is 4:40:00AM Or Time is 5:00:00AM Or Time is 5:20:00AM Or Time is 5:40:00AM Or Time is 6:00:00AM Or Time is 6:15:00AM Or Time is 6:30:00AM Or Time is 6:45:00AM Or Time is 7:00:00AM Then Set Scene 'Thermostat' Query Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
ingeborgdot Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 I tried to get this one to work but it doesn't seem to be working. Thermostat test - [iD 0022][Parent 0001]If From 12:00:00AM To 12:00:00PM (same day) Then Set Scene 'Thermostat' Query Repeat Every 1 minute Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
Teken Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 iMeter Solo - [ID 0031][Parent 00C2][Not Enabled] If From 8:00:00AM To 8:00:00AM (next day) Then Repeat Every 1 hour Set 'iMeter Solo' Query Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') This is a very basic program to accomplish the same just modify it to your specific needs. Please note the location of the repeat and the duration you can change to suite your needs.
ingeborgdot Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 Okay, this is what I tried but it just doesn't seem to work. Thermostat test - [iD 0022][Parent 0001][Run At Startup]If From 8:00:00AM To 8:00:00AM (next day) Then Repeat Every 1 minute Set Scene 'Thermostat' Query Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

If you right mouse click on the program and invoke the *Run Then* what happens?
ingeborgdot Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 I figured out why it wasn't working properly. I needed to set it to the time about now and when it hit that time it started. So, it seems to be working properly now. It would have started at 8 tomorrow if I would have set it to 8. I just wasn't thinking properly. It has now queried several times already so my temp is reading properly.

Your next step is to enable *Run at startup* if you don't and the ISY Series Controller is rebooted it will not run as expected. Edited April 1, 2017 by Teken
ingeborgdot Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 Thermostat Query - [iD 0022][Parent 0001][Run At Startup]If From 1:00:00PM To 1:00:00PM (next day) Then Repeat Every 3 minutes Set 'Thermostat' Query Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
Teken Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 Do you think 3 minutes is too often? Normally in a home the temperature doesn't drop very quickly so a query of every 5~10 minutes is fine. If you have lots of programs that are tasked to *Query* it can tie up the ISY Series Controller. Only you know what types of programs are in place now so use your own good judgement.
