THIS FEATURE HAS BEEN DISABLED FOR NOW. Create individual modules to control your thermostat.
Interactive thermostat control from the desktop can be done through the thermostat icon on the button bar. You must first configure the thermostat through the CONFIGURATION - Thermostat menu selection before the icon is enabled. Only one thermostat is currently supported.
Clicking on the thermostat icon will bring up the thermostat control window as shown below.
When the thermostat control window is open, you can access any other functions in HOUSE/290. You can position the thermostat window anywhere on the desktop, the position will be remembered the next time the thermostat window is opened. If HOUSE/290 is not connected to the CP290 controller when the thermostat window is opened, interactive thermostat control is not possible. You must exit the thermostat control window and connect HOUSE/290 first.
The top line of the thermostat face plate will display any messages when operating the controls. It also displays any external thermostat control events like OFF, COOL, HEAT and AUTO if they are detected.
The Edit... button opens the thermostat settings notebook which is the same as selecting CONFIGURATION - Thermostat from the menu.
The Close button closes the thermostat control window.
The Temperature Setpoint group of controls allows to select a temperature and pressing SET will send out the X-10 command to set the appropriate temperature. The temperature spin button is always loaded by default with the value of 68 degrees (20 Celsius) and is set to the temperature range according to the HAS-3035 or HAS-3045 specifications.
The actual temperature display located to the left of the setpoint control may initially be set to a question mark if the status is unknown. Any thermostat settings done through the setpoint control will update the display with the new value if there were no communications errors. External changes to the thermostat can not be detected by the CP290 and therefore the thermostat window can not be updated.
The name of the thermostat is displayed above the actual temperature display. If a check mark precedes the name, then the thermostat event uploading is enabled.
The OFF, HEAT, COOL and AUTO buttons allow to set the corresponding thermostat functions and activating any of these buttons sends out the appropriate X-10 command directly.
