I would like to make one of my thermostat programs more reliable. It seems that only one of four of my thermostats gets an -1 error when it tries to run a program. I am capable of communicating with the thermostat flawlessly otherwise. Is there someway to make my program more reliable? What steps should I take to track down the error?

 

The program is very simple. My nighttime program looks like this:

 

If

Time is 9:00:00PM

 

Then

Set 'Indoor / Thermostats / Master Suite / HVAC Master Suite' Mode Auto

Set 'Indoor / Thermostats / Master Suite / HVAC Master Suite' Fan Auto

Set 'Indoor / Thermostats / Master Suite / HVAC Master Suite' 60° (Heat Setpoint)

Set 'Indoor / Thermostats / Master Suite / HVAC Master Suite' 77° (Cool Setpoint)

 

Else

- No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

 

 

The daytime program looks like this:

 

If

Time is 7:00:00AM

 

Then

Set 'Indoor / Thermostats / Master Suite / HVAC Master Suite' Mode Auto

Set 'Indoor / Thermostats / Master Suite / HVAC Master Suite' Fan Auto

Set 'Indoor / Thermostats / Master Suite / HVAC Master Suite' 40° (Heat Setpoint)

Set 'Indoor / Thermostats / Master Suite / HVAC Master Suite' 88° (Cool Setpoint)

 

Else

- No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

 

Hi mitch236,

 

Since you are sending one command at a time to your thermostat, and since thermostat modules are a little slower than other modules, what I recommend are:

1. Adding a delay of 3 to 5 seconds between each call OR

2. Make a scene with those settings and activate that scene instead

 

With kind regards,

Michel
