How to use Lua to add/remove removes to a heating/cooling zone

[sahan.jenny 1]

Hi,

 

I have a heatpum that i can use to both cool and heat my house. I've got a floor heating system that i control with fibaro switches. I've got the switched set u via linked devices and use the heating / cooling panel to setup heating / cooling schedules / set points for my house.

 

What i have noticed however is that if my rooms are both mapped to heating and cooling zones it doesn't work. this is because the heating will try to close a valve, while the cooling will try to turn it on (or vice versa) and the valve goes flipping back and forth.

 

it is unfortunate that Fibaro built the heating/cooling independently like this, but doubt they will change it.

 

The easiest way i can think of circumventing this is by creating lua code that adds the rooms to heating or cooling zones depending on whether the system is in heating or cooling mode. 

 

But i can't figure out how to do that. Anyone know?

 

Regards,

managed to patch together some code based on partial answers i found online. for those facing the same problem this is what i've built

Hi this LUA works for you?
