Thermostat and EzFlora Sample Programs?

[MikeBro]

Since I apparently can't have my T1800 in "program auto" mode and still control it from the ISY, I'd like to try to duplicate that mode (four pairs of set points per day) on the ISY. Is there a complete sample program I can start with? I did not see one in the Wiki.

 

Also, I currently (as I did with the Smartlinc) manually turn on the sprinklers. Is there a sample program for automating this as well?

A simple EZFlora Program..

 

If
       On Mon, Wed, Fri
       Time is  6:00:00AM

Then
       Set 'EZFlora' On
       Wait  40 minutes 
       Set 'EZFlora / EZFlora - 2' On
       Wait  25 minutes 
       Set 'EZFlora / EZFlora - 3' On
       Wait  30 minutes 
       Set 'EZFlora / EZFlora - 4' On
       Wait  20 minutes 
       Set 'EZFlora / EZFlora - 5' On
       Wait  30 minutes 
       Set 'EZFlora / EZFlora - 6' On
       Wait  20 minutes 
       Set 'EZFlora / EZFlora - 6' Off

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

Create a scene for each set of set points you might want to have. Just drag the Thermostat device node into a scene by itself.

 

 

I named them (X-Cyy_Hzz) where

X=A - Mode Auto

X=O - Mode Off

yy = Cool Setpoint

zz = Heat Setpoint

 

You can make as many of these as you wish.

 

Then you can create a program to turn the scene on. Only On, never Off, that doesn't do anything. Never Fast On/Off, UDI says this really messes things up.

 

Example:

 

If
       On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri
       Time is  6:00:00AM

Then
       Set Scene HU TS (A-C74_H72) On

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

 

Create similar programs for different times of the day and different days.

 

Since I have the Admin Console up here's my irrigation program:

 

If
       Time is  4:00:00AM
   And $iIrrigation_Interval is 3

Then
       Repeat 3 times
          Set 'DEVICES / EZFLORA / EF (1)' On
          Wait  7 minutes 
          Set 'DEVICES / EZFLORA / EF (2)' On
          Wait  7 minutes 
          Set 'DEVICES / EZFLORA / EF (3)' On
          Wait  7 minutes 
          Set 'DEVICES / EZFLORA / EF (4)' On
          Wait  7 minutes 
          Set 'DEVICES / EZFLORA / EF (5)' On
          Wait  7 minutes 
       Repeat 1 times
          Set 'DEVICES / EZFLORA / EF (5)' Off
          $iIrrigation_Interval  = 1
          $iIrrigation_Interval Init To $iIrrigation_Interval

Else
       $iIrrigation_Interval += 1
       $iIrrigation_Interval Init To $iIrrigation_Interval

 

As you can see we have a very clay type soil so I run through the zones 3 times at 7 mins per zone. It gives the water a chance to sink in before getting more.

Thank you both for the timely replies! It looks pretty straight-forward. It's interesting that the methods for ezflora and thermostat are so different.

 

P.S. Got the sprinklers working. I've only had the ISY for a few days, but I'm starting to get excited by what can be done with it.

Can you expand on the the irrigation interval item that you have in your program? How you use it what it is used for samples perhaps?

 

Thank you

The irrigation interval variable is just the number of days between turning on the sprinklers.
