Leo Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hello, I am new to the forum. I have a ceiling fan which is controlled by GE Z-wave Fan-switch. And I'm using HomeSeer FS100 Flex Sensor to read temperature. How do i program to achieve: sensor temperature 70° F to 80° F would set fan speed to 70% above 80° F would set fan speed to 100% below 70° F would set fan Fast-OFF Link to comment
TexMike Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I'm using ecobee remote sensor and I only adjust mine in the bedroom at night, but I think you'll get the idea. Happy New Year and welcome. MBR fan off - [ID 007D][Parent 004D] If From 2:00:00AM To 6:00:00AM (same day) And 'Master ceiling fan' Status > 0% And 'ecobee / ecob down tstat / ecob down MBR snsr' Temperature < 70.0°F And 'ecobee / ecobee Controller' NodeServer Online is True And 'ecobee / ecob down tstat / ecob down MBR snsr' Responding is True Then Set 'Master ceiling fan' Fast Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') MBR fan low - [ID 007C][Parent 004D] If From 11:50:00PM To 6:00:00AM (next day) And 'Master ceiling fan' Status > 33% And 'ecobee / ecob down tstat / ecob down MBR snsr' Temperature < 72.0°F And 'ecobee / ecobee Controller' NodeServer Online is True And 'ecobee / ecob down tstat / ecob down MBR snsr' Responding is True Then Set 'Master ceiling fan' 33% Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Link to comment
Leo Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Thank you TexMike, I don't know how you get this?: "And 'ecobee / ecobee Controller' NodeServer Online is True" I don't have that option. Link to comment
Leo Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Here what i did, and it doesn't work. Link to comment
asbril Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Others know much more about this than I do, but my suggestion is : delete first line from IF as I think that is not needed. second line of IF : And............ > 69 third line of IF: .And.............< 81 Furthermore, at least with my Zwave fan controllers, there are 4 % levels : 0% - 34% - 67% - 100 % . If I would set my fan to 70%, then it would actually run at 100%. You would have to set it at 66% (or anywhere between 34 and 66 %) to achieve medium power. Therefore I would suggest THEN.: Set fan at 66 % Link to comment
TomL Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I might be wrong but you are using celsius in your program which means that means it would have to be greater than 158 degrees F for it to trigger the 70% fan. Just seems a bit warm. Link to comment
Leo Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Thank you Tom, you absolutely right. I didn't pay attention to it. Because when you select temperature during programming it's says Fahrenheit. Link to comment
larryllix Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 @Leo Did you know there is a "copy to clipboard" option on a right click of each program title in the program tree? Link to comment
TomL Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 @Leo I believe you need to look at what @asbril said above too. It looks like you are turning the fan off, in one program, and the fan on, in another program, to 70% both when temp equals 70 one should probably be greater or less than. Otherwise I think you will have a conflict or possibly create a loop. Link to comment
Leo Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Thank you, I didn't know. And it's wouldn't let me highlight Link to comment
larryllix Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 @Jimbo This thread is about ecobee NS UoM. Mine has no hurry at all. Also see @Leo's post above. He may have the opposite UoM problem. Thanks. Link to comment
TexMike Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 @Leo Sorry for late reply, as I said I'm using ecobee remote sensors for temp instead of a temp sensor, I was just showing example of how a program works to control fan speed. Looks like you've got a lot of good feedback and hopefully on your way to get your desired functionality. Link to comment
Leo Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Thank you to everyone taking time to help me on this issue. I think my issue was Celsius vs Fahrenheit. For some reason it's flipping between both. I changed everything to celcius and hopefully it will work as designed. I will be back testing my project after January 8. God bless you all.
