mzn50 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 ..By coincidence.. I installed my Thermostate today .. and spotted all the issues people are having with this device(Leaf mode and such).. I installed it and it seems to be running ok for now.. I have integrated it into my ISY 994IR .. Now I noticed there are muliple options.. running the Heat in : Thermostat MODE - Program Heat --> presume that this is pointing to the actual thermostate to run the preprogrammed temp schedule ? Thermostat MODE - Heat - I preume that this mode.. the ISY sets the Schedule ? Obviously Id like to set the programming for the ISY to manage So I would set the device to Mode Heat and NOT Program Heat- What would be a best practice for the following : I created a New Scene and moved the Thermostate in there..I then create a New Thermostate Program calling it Thermostate Schedule In there I have it to turn heat on to 72F at 0600 : --------------- IF Status 'At Home' is On and time is 0600am then Set thermostate 70 (Heat Setpoint) --------- That ends Scene 1 how would I add at 0830 to drop it down to 68f and then 430pm move it up to 70 and att 11PM move down to 66 and then as the first scene .. back up to 72 at 0600am ? .. do I need to create new scenes for all ? Also .. I set my device to Celsius(Canada and majority of civilized world ) .. seems the ISY default is F degrees .. any way to change that ? thanks all.. fingers crossed I dont have any wierd temp fluctuations ... thanks Matt
LeeG Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 As an FYI, the Program is not using a Scene. The Scene definition, not the Set command, define the temperature setting when using a Scene. A separate Program can be defined to trigger at each of the various times and issue a Set for the desired temperature. I must live in the uncivilized world, no information on Celsius.
Xathros Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Matt- With the exception of the Weatherbug module, I don't see where the ISY cares about C/F - It simply reports/Sets degrees. I'm working with a Venstar Thermostat. Dunno if that makes a difference here or not. -Xathros
mzn50 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 Hi guys... thanks for the tips... I was not aware of the weatherbug module .. Ill look into it.. does it integrate with the ISY ? Just an FYI.. and I mean this in a nice way ...the only difference is that we dont do Fahrenheit.. after 30 yrs of Celcius and metric.. 70 or 45deg means little to many outside the US and perhaps the UK.. I presume it would be the reverse respectfully...if I told you it was 32c .. I would think lots of non metric people would not be too sure if that is hot..or comfortable.. At the end of the day I totally know what imperial measuments offer and where they sit.. I know what 70F is.. but this day in age we should have an option in a commercial app to select either.. thanks !!
