Jaffacree Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Hello, I have a fireplace switch controlling my heater in the garage. The fireplace switch is turned on and off via the axxcess industries motion sensor's temperature function. Here is the programming that i have to turn on the heater:if month is between November and April>if the temp on motion sensor is greater then or equal to 45>>turn off the fireplace switch>if the temp on motion sensor is less then or equal to 40>>turn on the fireplace switch The problem I am having is that there is no programming for the button press of the fireplace switch. I would like to press a button and have the heater change to be between 65 and 60, and on another button press to go back to the temp being 45 and 40. Using variables, I have been unable to get this functioning correctly and would greatly appreciate some of your vast knowledge! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Couldn't you use variables and do it based on if a variable is 0 or 1. Some things like if motion set heatVar to 1. Then change your if logic and start a timer and reset that variable to 0 after x hrsSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 His problem is the lack of a 'button press' state on the fireplace switch itself to program anything from - there is no EVENT for those button presses. No there is no way of doing this (from a fireplace switch itself - CAN be done from any number of other triggers - motion, keypad, custom button etc etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffacree Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 OK, I might try this as a triple tap on a light switch or a custom button. I will need to use variables to get around the programming that will run 90% of the time listed below and on triple tap, change variable to 60 and 65 degrees, correct?? Or is there a better way to do this? Hello, I have a fireplace switch controlling my heater in the garage.
