Question

Posted (edited)

Hoping I'm just missing something.

 

I have AC schedules setup for several zones. What I can't see how to do is turn AC off for a time period. For example:

 

Living Room, off overnight.

Bedroom, off during day.

 

Setting the temperature high, 30c for example, leaves the AC powered on. I want off off.

 

If I'm not missing the obvious, what would be the best way to code the off/on? I've got as far as turning off the AC thermostat when the setpoint is 30c. This however appears to stop the next setpoint being set for the next period, so I can't switch on when it's changed from 30.

 

Any suggestions?

I guess you could do it with a block scene? 🤔

 

If i understand you right :D

    Yes that would work but I'm trying to avoid having a schedule in two places for each zone.

     

    Your suggestion would require two scenes per zone (off and on) and adjusting the scene time should a zone schedule change.

    You actually only need 1 scene each :) After 8 hours or what you set, it will go back to schedule :) 
     

    But I understand what you mean. Should have been possible to set the schedule of the device to off insted of 4°C as is the lowest or 30°C to high. 
    I guess the fan will still run? and thats why you want it Off Off? :)

     

     

    What if you do somthing like this?

    when the setpoint of the fan thermostat is above 29, it set the mode to off?

    and when it is under <29 and above >10 it will set to hear/cool/auto? 🤔

    I thought I was the only one thinking this would make some sense. Yeah, you should be able to turn it off during the time schedule periods.

    As I mentioned in the original post, off at 30 I have working. However, the next setpoint isn't set while the device is off, so switch on isn't triggered. When I switch the device on manually, it is still set to 30.

     

    Absent any other suggestions, I might try using the time of the next setpoint to schedule turning the device back on (minus a minute).

    Are you familiar with lua? 

    if so, I see you can get the schedule times from and api call like this:

     

    local climate_ID = 3
    schedule_time = api.get("/panels/climate/"..climate_ID.."")
    print("2",json.encode(schedule_time.properties.monday.morning))


    Response:

    {"temperatureCooling":29.0,"temperatureHeating":22.5,"hour":6,"minute":0}

    Here is my schedule 6 in the monday morning 

    I guess it could be used in a QA with eventrunner 5 or Eventlib from jgab to act on that time 😄

    So if you change the schedule it is also updated in the QA

    It was ER5 that finally got me started with coding automations in Fibaro, rather than relying on a mess of block scenes and blocks converted to Lua to hack at 🙂

     

    Had a poke around in swagger yesterday and yes, thought the API would be the route to try. On the Todo list!
