I want to configure my system such that when the outdoor temperature is over 75 degrees, the Thermostat (Control4) is set to Cooling Mode, and when it's less than 65 degrees, it gets set to Heating Mode. (And I do understand there is an Auto setting that will work similarly, but for a few reasons, I'm not wanting to use this mode). There is no external temperature sensor, but the outside temperature is always shown on my T3, which I assume gets it based on the latitude and longitude in the Project configuration, or perhaps somewhere else.
What I'm wanting to know is what to use as the Event to configure the programming. When I look at the available Thermostat Variables, I see "OUTDOOR_TEMPERATURE_F", "TEMPERATURE_F" and "Control4 Outdoor Temperature". I'm not seeing reference to wherever the T3 gets its temperature reading from.
Which, if any, of these Variables do I use, or is there a different/better way to do this?
