    HAI Plug-in using Celsius

    Alan,

    Hi, I just received my RC-80 and I installed the new Plug-in. Everything worked the first time. Very sweet plug-in. I can appreciate how much time went into this so thank you very much. I've been wanting to get into home automation for years and I finally took the plunge a few months ago. The biggest WAF for me will be the the RC-80 and the ability to shut off the AC when I arm the my alarm. So thank you for making my wife happy enough to approve my future adventures.

    Is there or will there be an option for Celcius mode? I have programmed the thermostat locally to display in celsius but all the commands and displays for the plug-in are in Fahrenheit.


    Any help would be great.

    Thanks again,

    James

    James,
    Thanks for the kind words.

    The plug-in was designed to support Celius temperatures also but it is an aspect that has never been tested.

    Are you seeing the correct C values with the suffix F? Something like 23 F? What specific screen are you seeing this on? The web page?

    I will pull my thermostat book out today and set mine to C and see what happens.

      I found the problem. It was pretty small.

      Attached is a version that has just this fix. it will be in the updater release 0.79 in the next few days as soon as I finish the changes I am working on and get 0.79 to Rick.

      I had one of my stats in Celsius and the other in F and they both seemed to be OK. Let me know of any problems.

          Alan,

          I've installed the vesrsion that you just posted. Here are my observations.

          1. On the "Status" web page:
          Current Temperature: 23
          Heat Setpoint: 21 Cool Setpoint: 23

          2. On the "HAI RC Thermostat - Main" web page
          Current temp 23 °C
          Cool Setpt 23 °C
          Heat Setpt 23 °C

          3. On the "HAI RC Thermostat - Schedule" web page
          My loaded schedule is there but all the temperatures are 32 °F

          4. On the "HAI RC Thermostat - Setup - Schedule" non-web page
          The correct schedule with neither °F or °C as defined in the following file:
          ** Weekday
          7:00, 23, 21
          8:00, 23, 21
          18:00, 23, 21
          23:00, 23, 21

          ** Saturday
          7:00, 23, 21
          8:00, 23, 21
          18:00, 23, 21
          23:00, 23, 21

          ** Sunday
          7:00, 23, 21
          8:00, 23, 21
          18:00, 23, 21
          23:00, 23, 21


          Here is some background on what I want to acheive. I would like a schedule that has day and night only. the same schedule will aplly to weekdays, Saturdays, and sundays. When my alarm is armed (linked to an X10 device) it want to do the following.

          If Winter (heat mode) then drop the HSP down my 5 Celsius
          If Summer (cool mode) then switch the system off


          When the alarm is turned off upon coming home
          If Winter (heat mode) then retunr to schedule
          If Summer (cool mode) then switch the system to cool and resume schedule



          Thanks Alan

            James,
            OK I see this one. It will take a little investigation.

            As far as the scneario you want to implement. I think everything can be done using the HAI Actions on an event. Have you looked at these actions?

              Yup, I'm going to have a trigger monitor my alarm x10 device and then I'm going to use scripting as described in your documentation.

              Thanks again

                Alan,

                The command
                &hs.plugin("HAI RC Thermostat").thermostats.Item(1).ActivateSchedule

                sets my CSP and HSP to 10C and 26C respectively.

                When it should be 23C and 21C


                Just thought you would want to know.

                Cheers,

                James

                  Thanks. I will add it to the list and fix it soon.

                    James,
                    If you are still using the plug-in, have you had a chance to upgrade to the latest version (0.80 or 0.81)? I made changes that should fix the celsius related bugs you reported.

                      Alan,

                      I installed it yesterday and everything is working fine. I'll let you know if I find anything. Thank you very much.
