Thermostat up/down button via api.

---

Hiball, how can i press the up/down button from an dummythermostat via the api. I know how to press buttons via api but no idea how this will work for the thermostat button.

Thanks all.

@p4co86 hi, this is not what you are looking for but what i do is to set “temp of dummy-heating to 19”.
and then with another rule i start my boiler until to reach the “temp of dummy-heating”…

No idea anyone else

The idea is to set temp oft Thermostat via tasker notification. I habe tried to set thr variable via API but without succes i can only set variables i habe self created.

Ootb it does not work the way you want
you can only set a tempersture (20, 21. 5, etc)
But maybe this could be done with a script that reads the value (atm) and does ‘new value = old value +/- 1’

But I dont have time these days to write something like this,
So if you dont have a solution till end of next week I would try to do it

It is better to alter the Setpoint Temperature then controlling the buttons. When controlling up or down, you are pushing blind on buttons without knowing what temp you are setting.
You can easily read the current setpoint through API (/api/variables/thermostaat.temperatureSetpoint) and then chang the Setpoint again with the desired temp (api/device/thermostaat/changeTemperatureTo?temperatureSetpoint=19)

Is that something of what i search for in my thread?
