ceiling fan + thermostat

[rdaniels2@me.com]

I have an ISY994i and insteon devices and I am trying to get the system to turn on the ceiling fans when the thermostat calls for heating or cooling. The program I am using is as follows:

 

If: Status 'upstairs thermostat - Main' is calling for heat

Then:  Run program 'MB Fan Low' (Then Path)

            Wait 1 hour

            Rung Program 'MB Fan off' (Then Path)

Else:  No Actions

 

I have tested by setting the thermostat to call for heat but nothing happens. Any advise I can get would be appreciated.

Right click on the program and select "run then" and see if the program controls the fan. This will let you know if you have control of the fan to start with. Next I would check the log to insure the programs are being called.

I do something similar to this, but use STATUS HEAT/COOLSTATE IS HEATING.  Has been working for AC Cool and Heat for over a year now.

Right click on your program and select "copy to clipboard" and post your actual program into the thread. Your trigger line syntax is what is important.

Themoststs have many modes and selecting heat mode etc.. may not do what you want. The ecobee status can take up tp three minute to update due to interface restrictions.
