dkh1020 Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Hello all, I have a Venstar thermostat and an Insteon adapter (V2) that reports it's status to the ISY. My goal is to have the ISY recognize when someone sets the thermostat below a desired level and bump the temp back to a predetermined setting as well as have my Homeseer software announce a warning. I can set the venstar (at the thermoststat) to a speific temperature and the ISY sees the change immediately. However, if I have a program set up to trigger when the setpoint is below a certain temperature, it fails to kick off. If I adjust the temp via the admin console or via my I-phone, the program runs as expected. Also, if I query the thermostat via I-phone, the program runs fine. My code is super simple: If Status LR Thermostat <73 (Setpoint) Then "X" I just migrated from an Applied Digital Ocelot to the ISY so I'm getting my feet wet. Regardless, this should be a no brainer. I'm clearly missing something here. Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Sub-Routine Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Hello dkh1020, I think you have to remove and add back the thermostat. When you use the Start Linking and press the Set button four nodes should appear. ISY-99i/ISY-26_INSTEON:Linking_a_Thermostat Rand
dkh1020 Posted June 8, 2010 Author Posted June 8, 2010 Hello Rand, Thanks for the response. I've already done as you suggested and and can see the 4 nodes. As I said before, my ISY updates immediately with no need to query the thermostat. So, I would expect the program to kick off when the setpoint is adjusted beyond the threshold I've set. So far, no luck. Thanks ~Doug

dkh1020 Posted June 8, 2010 Author Posted June 8, 2010 Hello, Here's the program - very basic...... • If • Status 'Living Room Thermostat - Main' < 73° (Setpoint) • Then • Set 'Test Module 1' On • Else Once I can get the ISY to recognize the change in setpoint, then I'll add some meaningfull code.
Sub-Routine Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 That certainly looks as if it would work. Is the program enabled? Is it in a folder that may be keeping it from running?

dstewart Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Hello Doug, Did you ever get a fix for your Venstar problem? I have the identical problem. The little program I wrote to set back the cool setpoint whenever it is set to below that works a treat wile I am logged on to the administrative console. However, when left to itself it does not run. It is defnitely enabled and not in any subfolder? Seems strange Thanks Duncan
