Ceiling Fan Controlled by HS-FS100

[Leo]

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

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')

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.

Here what i did,

and it doesn't work.

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 %

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.

[Leo]

Thank you Tom, you absolutely right. I didn't pay attention to it. Because when you select temperature during programming it's says Fahrenheit.

@Leo Did you know there is a "copy to clipboard" option on a right click of each program title in the program tree?

[TomL]

@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.

[Leo]

Thank you, I didn't know. And it's wouldn't let me highlight

@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.

@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.

[Leo]

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.
