Request: Temperature and HVAC tracking

Featured Replies

Posted

I would like to request a feature/module where the temperature history of each thermostat and when the HVAC kicks in to cool or heat are recorded and to be able see this graphically. You'd be able to review it to see what the temperature is during the day/night and how you might want to program the thermostats. Perhaps some day there will be a remote temperature sensor that can be placed outside and this can be recorded too.

Hello dss,

 

Apart from graphs, aren't all these already captured in the log? In short, what's missing in the logs?

 

With kind regards,

Michel

I do this right now (although it requires a PC running).

ISYLogger can log (to CSV files) any variables within the ISY. I track indoor, outdoor, setpoint and AC status conditions to view a day of thermostat behavior.

For external sensors, I have a ton of them connected via Webcontrol and WCLink into the ISY.

 

Probably not as clean as you were hoping, but there are always options.

I don't see any temperature readings in the log. I only see them if I do a query. I guess I have to setup a program to query the 2441TH every 5 minutes or so? Or is the 2441TH supposed to automatically report temperature changes?

Hello dss,

 

It should but it seems that we have problems with the production releases of 2441TH. We are currently working on it.

When I manually query the thermostat by right clicking it and selecting query the temperature updates and I see an entry for temperature and humidity in the log. But when I created a program to query it Repeat every 5 minutes / Insteon - Downstairs - query I see a query every 5 minutes in the log but it doesn't show the temperature nor humidity. Is there something more specific I need to program?

Hello dss,

 

The log only captures changes in state. So, if the temp/humidity remain the same at each query, then there won't be a log entry for any that has not changed.

Oh, yes, I see that now after running the query for a while. I'll have to brush up on my Excel skill to get the data in the way I want.
