Show me your fan pistons

#1

I recently got a GE Zwave plus fan controller for the bedroom fan and am now brainstorming how to automate it. I have played with the virtual thermostat and 3 speed ceiling fan thermostat smart apps, but don’t love them yet. I was wondering what people have done on Webcore.

I don’t necessarily want the fan on in the room when I’m not there but don’t have a motion sensor only a door sensor and I prefer to manually turn it on but then automate when it turns off. My wife doesn’t like the fan on. I’m hoping I could use an already created piston and then tweak it to my needs.

It is a room that you keep,the door closed when not in use? Or do you want the fan on when in the room regardless of door open or closed?
Asking to get basic logic to,program based on door events, and whether or not fan is manually or programmatically turned on, and what sequence.

Automating a fan isn’t hard, just mainly have it adjusting speeds based on inside temp, adding extra layer if people are home, and deeper conditions based on (habbitual) occupancy

How you plan to use it and specific habits with regard to using it in that room would help

Simple piston that turns on during the day if movement and on with Bedtime routine. Turning off in the morning is handled outside of this piston for now. Also reports piston state. I have variations of this for fans all over the house.

Here are my specific needs.

Manually turn on fan
Auto turn off fan when reaches a temperature (72)

Scenario: use fan when going to sleep but it cools off during the night and want the fan to auto turn off.

I guess I am looking for only an auto off feature. My wife doesn’t like the fan higher than low. I don’t the auto speed change. I can manually do that. (when she isn’t home) I could put in some presence logic, but don’t need to complicate things.

The other smart apps I have tried will turn on the fan automatically and I want to control that manually.

If fan is on and temp drops below 72
Then
With your fan
Turn off

Well, that was kind of embarrassing. After I sat down and thought about what I wanted, it turned out to be VERY simple. Sorry for taking your time away on this…
