Heating Panel - Temperature SETBACK rather than one fixed temperature

[ewenjc 0]

Hi,

I've got my heating setup and working with the Heating Panel managing several zones and different temp for different times of day and it works great for while we're all at home.  I'd like it to adjust the temperature when we go out or go on holiday BUT I'd like it to scale back (setback) the temperature rather than having to reduce it to one temperature regardless of the time of day.  I have HC2 talking to my alarm so it knows if we go out or go on holiday (different alarm codes).  I'd like it to reduce the whole heating schedule by 2 degrees for away mode and maybe 5 degrees for holiday mode.

 

Is there anyway to use the heating panel but with a scene program some sort of setback based on the alarm mode?  It would probably be easy for Fibaro to modify the manual / holiday modes in the heating panel to be either an absolute temp or a relative shift but if I can do it myself rather than wait for Fibaro to add it, that would be great.

 

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,

Ewen

im possibly out of my depth.... but is this the sort of this that could be done using global variables. so the alarm changes a variable depending on if your in or out and the heating panel takes that variable.. but thinking on it the questions then is how do you get the heating panel to accept a variable.. well ive proved one thing at least,,,, my first comment was very true
