HVAC Econ Program not cycling blower motor

AustinKc · 2018-12-25 20:27:36 UTC

1) Give a description of the problem
Line 52 to line 82 not working correctly. Seem they will not change states as temperature changes compared to cooling set points.

2) What is the expected behavior?
To cycle fan in regards to “CoolingSetpointOffest” keeping the Compressors off on the HVAC system and only running the Blower motor.

3) What is happening/not happening?
Fan will not cycle from auto to on.

**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston!

**5) Log

Your problem is this piston will never get out of the first repeat until the switch is turned off so the second one never executes. Even though the first if may be false, the repeat is telling it to keep checking so it just stays in the first loop. I suggest you put both if’s in a single loop (if-then-else) to check for either condition.

@guxdude

Hey! Looks like this fixed the issue. I will monitor and see if it keeps working thanks for the help man!

guxdude · 2018-12-26 01:31:19 UTC

You’re welcome. Glad I could help. If this indeed fixes the problem, be sure to mark you problem as solved.

AustinKc · 2018-12-26 02:46:27 UTC

Still having the same issues and here is what I have done.

guxdude · 2018-12-26 03:10:45 UTC

Not sure why it is not working. As a test, try instead of ‘turn fan on’ change to ‘set fan mode on’. I think it should be the same but give it a try.

AustinKc · 2018-12-26 03:31:26 UTC

Still no luck. Not sure why its not working… Its almost like it runs through the piston once and kicks the fan on and then after that it will not check conditions or “repeat” from lines 52 to 77.

EDIT: From line 52 to 77 is definitely not repeating the script. Not sure how to resolve this issue.

guxdude · 2018-12-26 05:29:32 UTC

Turn logging to maximum and run the script and post the log. maybe we’ll get insight to what is happening.

Well, still not sure why it isn’t working unless it has a problem with the fact there is no wait in the path it is executing so it is basically seeing you will infinitely execute the on command when nothing changed. Perhaps try adding a 120 second wait to the on path?
