Using Capture & Restore with T-Stat Attributes

merrick777 · 2017-11-19 05:34:36 UTC

1) Give a description of the problem
I want my T-Stat to shut off the A/C when my patio door is open > 1 minute. When the door gets closed, I need the T-Stat to come back on to same settings it was set to when it went off. Using Capture & Restore for attributes seems like it should work.

2) What is the expected behavior?
See above

3) What is happening/not happening?
T-Stat goes to OFF as it should. It doesn’t turn back on as it should. Probably because of where I put the nested IF statement(??)

**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston

5) Attach any logs (From ST IDE and by turning logging level to Full)

Can’t nest triggers. The door can not be open for 1 minute and closed at the same time. Pull that nested if statement out and set it below your first if statement.

Also you don’t need 2 with statements for your actions. You can just add the turn off to the first with action

Thanks @c1arkbar… is this what you meant? But my concern here was with the syntax of “stays open” and “changes to closed”. Am I ok with these? Thanks again!
EDIT- Tried… this turned the tstat off as it should but did not turn it back on.

c1arkbar · 2017-11-19 17:37:09 UTC

That is what I was talking about. Do you have any logs for when this? Might find out why it’s not turning off

merrick777 · 2017-11-19 18:25:06 UTC

I have ‘trace’ running and logging set to FULL. How do I capture the logs to post them… just copy/paste? I see there may be a problem with the catured data

instead of using the baked in version you might just need to set your own variables and then use those to restore from.

I think I realized that I needed to change the order of operations becaise if the door was closed, it wouldn’t ever capture the tstat’s attributes. So I changed it to this, but still not working. Oh, I also thought maybe I needed to define the variables so I tried temperature as an integer and thermostatOperatingState as text.

Is this in line with the other thread I am commenting in with this exact same issue?

Do not use the baked in capture and restore. Instead use regular variables

merrick777 · 2017-11-20 03:12:23 UTC

Your other reply is above. The problem with regular variables is that… let’s say I set it up now- I’d ask for ‘heat’ mode and 71F. But when the weather changes, so would the mode and temps needed. It wouldn’t be a valuable piston if it needed a stock set of attributes (mode and temp). But ok, if capture and restore can’t be used- what other way can I get the tstat to come back on to same mode/temp it was at when it turned off?

merrick777 · 2017-11-20 03:30:03 UTC

LOL- Now I see what you mean… No, there’s MY thread, plus another on identical topic by @Mightybuffalo2000
Looks like we’re both trying to capture & restore. This is really the best way to accomplish what we are trying to do.

Mightybuffalo2000 · 2017-11-20 05:12:23 UTC

I did it. I figured it out about an hour ago.

Mightybuffalo2000 · 2017-11-20 05:27:14 UTC

And here’s another example

You are right. Here is the latest one I made for someone.

c1arkbar · 2017-11-20 13:12:55 UTC

This is what I was talking about. You are still setting them not making them defined.
