    Thermostat Setpoint status parameters. What each means?

    Hi all

    I am not quite sure what you are asking for but the setpoint is to set the target temperature. The setpoint is handling both the heating setpoint and cooling setpoint. My thermostat has 3 setpoints, heating setpoint, cooling setpoint and setpoint.

        Ah, I get it now. When you go to the HS web portal you will see a menu to display devices. One of the columns shows the current value. Let's assume it's 20 degrees and let's assume you set your prefix to MyPrefix and Suffix to MySuffix. Then the value displayed under devices will be "MyPrefix 20 MySuffix". Obviously, that doesn't make any sense here. Instead, you probably want to leave Prefix empty and set Suffix to for instance " Celcius". The setpoint probably only allows full/integer numbers and not decimal numbers. Hence, leave Dec Places at 0. Control Type is how the available values (18-30) are being displayed (as text, as a drop down list, etc). Control Use defines what this device is doing, in this case defining the cool setpoint of a thermostat. There should be a help button on that page that explains the other items on that page.

          Thank you. This explains it.

          I tried all over the help file and did not find any resources/references to the parameters. Maybe someone can point it out. I still need clarifications on the flags please:
