LFMc Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Hi All, I was hoping to find an easy way to do this, but I have not found it. I need to enter a value into an ISY (v 4.7.5) variable with the Insteon 2441TH set point temp and the current temperature. Also I would like to direct set the thermostat's set point from a variable. I have found no way to put the temps into a variable. I can put the thermostat into a known/fixed set point and then increase or decrease the temp in one degree increments accordingly, but I have found that the thermostat occasionally doesn't respond to the up/down 1 degree command and I have no way of knowing that occurred. If anyone knows a way to make this happen, I would appreciate some insight. --Leon

blueman2 Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 Yup, sorry I forgot this was new in V5. I have been on V5 for so many years, I forgot!

Each program progressively tests for a higher value until one either becomes true, or calls the next program in the chain. I suggest getting V5 instead. Edited November 1, 2020 by larryllix 1

OK, I guess I have been waiting for a good reason (for me) to switch to V5, this may be it. 9 hours ago, blueman2 said: I have been on V5 for so many years, I forgot! Lol. Nice way of suggesting I catch up with the times. (-; Thanks all!

Nice way of suggesting I catch up with the times. (-; Thanks all! You won't regret it. Very few have had problems upgrading. You may like the decimal values available with v5 and many other features I take for granted now. Programs with conversion problems will have yellow avatars and line will be commented by the conversion. You will need to check your Insteon scenes as some of those may have hidden problems. I use as few scenes as possible, for other reasons so I wasn't bothered by scenes three years ago when I went to v5.0.0. backup...backup...backup! Just in case. Edited November 1, 2020 by larryllix 1
