New Plugin - ChronoTherm (ex CronoAccesoSpento)

Christopher Pütz

Thx @zacca for the nice plugin. Have configured it and am now testing the rules.

@daice
Ok I’ll try to add it in the next version

thost96

@Zacca Nice plugin! I will try it out. It would be amazing when the configuration could be done on the webgui. Maybe there is a way?

Zacca

@thost96
I don’t know
When i have time i will see if there is possible

Anduril

looks realy interesting. ONe thing I don’t know is how to use it with a real device, do I have to create a rule to set my thermostat device to the temp your device has as setpoint?
And when you set temp manually (via gui or even hardware at thermostat) does it stays in auto modus and change temp to schedule at next time (as it is with max-cube)?

Zacca

new version 0.9.3

Yes you have to compare the variable $ID.result to your temperature sensor
If “TemperatureSensor < $ID.result” enable somethink that increase temperature
else STOP

And when you set temp manually (via gui or even hardware at thermostat) does it stays in auto modus and change temp to schedule at next time (as it is with max-cube)?

I have never tried max-cube but i have add a function in this version to return to automatic after a certain minutes, if that is what you mean

Hi,
In your device you have

  "cas1Ref": "$di1",
  "cas2Ref": "$di2",
  "cas3Ref": "$di3",
  "cas4Ref": "$di3",
  "cas5Ref": "$di3",
  "cas6Ref": "$di3",
  "cas7Ref": "$di3",

(5x $di3 ?)
I suppose this should be:

  "cas1Ref": "$di1",
  "cas2Ref": "$di2",
  "cas3Ref": "$di3",
  "cas4Ref": "$di4",
  "cas5Ref": "$di5",
  "cas6Ref": "$di6",
  "cas7Ref": "$di7",

What’s more: I first thought these were the 7 weekdays, but I assume these are the thermostat “heating program options”?
You can assign a program to $di1 for multiple days, and to $di2 as well.
like $di=12345,0,15,6.30,19,08.00,15,17.00,21,22.30,15
Monday to Friday starting midnight at 15°, at 06.30 to 19°, at 08:00 back to 15°, at 17.00 to 21° and at 22.30 back to 15°
combined with $di2=3,0,15,6.30,19,08.00,15,12.00,21,22.30,15
meaning: on Wednesday starting midnight at 15°, at 06.30 to 19°, at 08:00 back to 15°, at 12.00 to 21° and at 22.30 back to 15°
So Monday till Friday: 15° between 08:00 and 17:00, but on Wednesday afternoon from 12:00 also to 21°.

Is this correct? Can that combination be made?

Zacca

@Harry-van-der-Wolf
Thanks
After i have realize my error i found your post

I corrected the mistakes and added examples

For your question…no, the combination is not correct
only you can create your schedule with…
hour,temperature,hour,temperature,hour,temperature…
and assign it to a day writing the number of the day of the week in the first value…
number(s) of the day of the week,hour,temperature,hour,temperature…

Sorry i have problems with english
if you did not understand I try to explain better without problem

Harry van der Wolf

I understood.
They are indeed heating scheduling programs, being 7 in total. Just by coincidence the same as number of days in the week.

So my variables must be:
Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri: $di=1245,0,15,6.30,19,08.00,15,17.00,21,22.30,15
Wed: $di2=3,0,15,6.30,19,08.00,15,12.00,21,22.30,15
and unused programs simply get a value of 0.

Of course you can create 7 programs and simply use one per day.

Thank you

Thank you

Ok but every days of the week must be present in a variable
In your scheduling you havo not put Saturday(6) and Sunday(7)
Example:
If you want 15° for the weekend you can create:
$di3=67,0,15 (Saturday and Sunday from midnight to 11.59pm the temperature is 15°)

Just installed the plugin and started fiddling with it. Looks very nice
some requests/issues:

A small vertical bar/line on the program to display where we are in time
Optional boost button
I’m able to change the mode of the thermostat through a rule, but not the desired temperature?

I can ASK the manuTemp: WHEN manuTemp of thermostaat-test is equal to xx but can’t SET: set manuTemp of thermostaat-test to xx

Bug : When something is not correct in a variable, the plugin will stop updating (even if everything is corrected) until a restart of pimatic.

many thanks for notifications

@zacca can you release the plugin to npm pls, so it will automatically be integrated into the pimatic plugin directory.
is it possible to rename the repository? since the plugin would be named as
pimatic-plugin-cronoaccesospento
the -plugin is too much. would also be good to have an english name for the plugin if this is possible

After add some change i will register to npm

Uhmmm i’m not a developer, i started this project to make a small plug-in just for me, but the project has increased in size and I have made public with the same name

Update to 0.9.4

Change the name to ChronoTherm
Add control filters for the wrong variables
Add ability to change manutemp from rules

if anyone can try and tell me how it goes, then I will release on npm

$ThermoWeekend
67,00.00,18,07.00,20,22.00,18

All the other variables where empty, but also I copied the contents of $ThermoWeekend to $thermo4 , $Thermo5, $Thermo6 and $Thermo7
