THIS FEATURE HAS BEEN DISABLED FOR NOW. Create individual modules to control your thermostat.
Thermostat Configuration
Contains all configuration settings for a thermostat. This configuration notebook page is also accessible form the Edit... button of the Thermostat Control window.
Before the thermostat icon in the button bar is enabled, you must configure the thermostat through this menu selection. Only one thermostat is supported right now. Up to 99 thermostat events can be programmed and executed at different times, weekdays or selected date ranges.
The thermostat configuration notebook contains three buttons on the bottom to save, cancel or delete the thermostat settings. SAVE will save the thermostat settings and close the settings notebook. CANCEL will cancel any edit operations and close the settings notebook. DELETE will delete the thermostat and also disable the thermostat icon on the button bar.
Thermostat Definition:
The Name entry field defines the Thermostat Name as it appears on the thermostat window. This name can be up to 12 characters long.
Two models of thermostats are currently supported and a selection box allows to choose between the models. The HAS-3035 and HAS-3045 are one-way models and use an entire house code with 16 device numbers to perform the functions. The functions of these two models are very similar, differing only in three temperature setting values. Changing models will automatically adjust the temperature settings range box. The specifications for these thermostats can be found on the Home Automation System site (Smarthome) listed in the Internet Links for Home Automation in this help file.
The thermostat address occupies an entire house code and is selected from the House Code box. Only unused house codes appear on the list to prevent interaction between existing modules and the thermostat.
The Upload to Interface check box enables the thermostat events for uploading to the CM11A interface. The On time has to be enabled if the thermostat events are to be uploaded. Upload to Interface is completely separate from the On time enable setting. Turning Upload to Interface off will not change the On time check box.
Thermostat Event Time:
This section defines the times the thermostat function is to take place for each individual event. The On check box provides a way to enable or disable the time for the particular event. Time is 00:00 to 12:59 AM or PM. Dawn and Dusk buttons automatically calculate the civil sunrise and sunset times depending on the location set in the Configuration. The date used for the dawn and dusk calculation is the FROM Date as set in the currently selected event.
Note that a 12:xx AM selection will be displayed as 00:xx AM when this page is re-entered. When a thermostat event is added, On time is disabled. If the time value is changed, then the box is automatically checked, thus enabling the corresponding timer event.
Thermostat event time can be set to different days of the week. The switches in the group Day of Week provide for this selection. If the weekday buttons are green then that particular day is selected.
Thermostat Event Date Range:
This section allows to set the date range the particular thermostat event will be active. Spin buttons provide for month and date selections. If the date falls to the last day of the month and the month is changed, then the date is automatically set to the last day of the new month. You must enter the TO date to a later date than the FROM date. An error window will pop up if the date range of the current event is invalid. The date range must be valid before the thermostat settings can be saved. There are no checks for overlapping date ranges among all the events.
Thermostat Event Select:
The thermostat can have up to 99 events with different event on times, weekdays and date ranges. The buttons in the Event group select these events. A text window shows the current event and the total number of events for the thermostat. The Next button selects the next event. If the current event is the last one, then you are asked if you would like to add a new event. If you don't add a new event, it wraps around to the first event. Previous event will cycle through all available events and wrap around to the top event. Delete event will delete the current event. Currently, only the highest event can be deleted.
Thermostat Function Definition:
The thermostat functions can be selected from the Function/Temp. selection list. A check box provides for Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature display. All programmed events can be displayed in the text window. The Refresh button must be used to re-display the events after changes were made as refresh of that window is not automatic.
