    Heat > target temperature=ambient temperature+1

    I'm trying to simplify things and i wonder if its possible.

    My goal is to turn the thermostat higher or lower without having to control the actual ambient or target temperature:

    Thermostat higher: target temperature = ambient temperature + 1
    Thermostat lower: target temperature = ambient temperature - 1

    Can someone help me out a little?

    I think you could do it using scripting and CAPI

    Alternatively you could use the EasyTrigger plugin. There is a "Set Device Variable" action that let you set a device value to any replacement variable: see
    http://board.homeseer.com/showthread...29#post1174129

    so, if your target temperature device has its reference ID equals to 234, you would set the target temperature to the variable $$DVR:234:
    right now, you can't add/substract 1 with this action but I can easily add the possibility to add/substract a constant if you want me to?

      Would be nice Spud!

      I will take a look at the EasyTrigger plugin, for now i'm busy porting all my events from HS2 to HS3.

                I've found one problem, it doesn't work with number after the ,

                EasyTrigger ERROR SetDeviceValueToVariable: Cannot find control value 22,5 for device 283

                When the temperature is,5 then it wouldn't work.
