Creating a Quickapp that is heatingpanel compatible

[Comfortica 17]

We are planning on creating a Quickapp for an airco. The plan is to use this airco QA in the heating panel. So, when heating is required, the QA turns on the AIRCO, set mode to heating and turn it OFF once it has reached the desired temperature. Which functions does this Quickapp needs to accept in order to be heating panel compatible?

If you need it only for heating then default QuickApp "Thermostat Heat" is the way to go.

You will need to handle "setThermostatMode" and "setHeatingThermostatSetpoint" actions.
To make it compatibile with the climate panel mode "Heat" at minimum must be supported.

In "heatingThermostatSetpoint" property current panel setting will be stored, so you will need to write the logic on actual and desired temperature stored in this property.

Anyway, here is the example code from this QA, it will clear everything up:

still a few questions about the heating panel: how often does it send a command to the heating device? and, does it, by default, send a "mode" (or "on") command to the heating device first?

[m.roszak 763]

Clime Panel sends mode ("Auto"/"Heat"/"Cool"/"Off") and related setpoints ("coolingThermostatSetpoint" and "heatingThermostatSetpoint"/"heatingThermostatSetpoint"/"coolingThermostatSetpoint"/none) according to current mode.

 

As for other question, how often... If I remember correctly all settings are reloaded on every climate panel settings change, on setpoint change on thermostat and once per minute if no other event occurred.

As you probably noticed thermostats (QuickApp for example) in case of setpoint report which differs from the one from climate panel for specific period then those devices automatically goes to "override mode" for default 2h (stored in property "timestamp" as an epoch) - those devices won't be controlled until current time (epoch) is lower than the one in property "timestamp".

 

Setting "timestamp" property on demand is handled by "setTime" action which gets epoch timestamp as an argument.

No problem.
Didn't know that it is not possible.

I am not contributing here for the "likes" but forum admin changed the settings anyway and in theory this should be possible from now on

I neither contribute for the likes, but I like to express my gratitude where appropriate

I am trying to set up my system to have a different climate temperature for summer and for winter can anyone guide me on the best way of going about this?

I have found QA Climate Schedule Editor which will give me the idea of how to set the climate for different days of the week etc, how can i trigger this to happen on summer time or winter time based in the uk?
