I'm having great problems getting the Temperature Action to do what I want and I'm not sure whether I'm trying to get it to do something it is not desgined for whether I'm just being plain stupid.
Here's the dilemma:
I would like to control the heating in my house by switching a series of X10 relays on or off (these controls valvles turns the radiators on and off). I'm using 1-wire devices as the 'thermoters' in each room.
I want to be able to have one set of temperature intervals during the day and anohter during night time (eg 20-22 degrees C during day time but 18-20 during night time).
I've created two events that are time dependent (one runs between 0600 AND 2200, the other runs before 0600 OR after 2200) each event is triggered purely based on time of day.
Each event then has a Temperature Action that turns the relevant X10 relay on or off based on the UL or LL of the corresponding 1wire thermometer (read via mcsTemperature).
THE PROBLEM (at long last) is that whilst the events get executed the relevant Control does not always get activated. In some cases I endup with both Controls active. In some case NO Control is active. And not in all cases have these Controls been automatically created (eg there may be a Control for the day time Event/Action but none exist for the night time).
Not sure what is causing this but would *really* appreciate some help. WAF is very low at the minute (she doesn't like freezing and she doen't like frying)
Thanks
