1) Give a description of the problem
I am attempting to vary the start time of my heating system based on current thermostat temperature reading, my heating setpoint and the heating rate. I have set up my heating set point and rate as global variables, the calculation then takes one from the other and multiplies by 7 (minutes per degree) to figure out how long before the heating needs to switch on to be warm in time for use.
I’ve tried various, set offset as global variable, run a piston to calculate this, then another (a couple of minutes later) to use this. I’ve tried calling the 2nd piston from the first, with and without an argument.
I’m going nuts…
2) What is the expected behaviour?
Heating switch on based on time I want it to be warm minus offset minutes
3) What is happening/not happening?
Sometimes ignores the offset, sometimes I ‘think’ it’s calculating, but using the last calculated offset.
**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston
