MikeBro Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 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? ---Mike
LeeG Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 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')
andyf0 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 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.
MikeBro Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 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. ---Mike
strahan001 Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Andyf0 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
