Thank you for the reply. My brother-in-law installed this system back in 2006. He is now my ex-bil. So I'm trying to learn programming myself. Below is what I came up with. But to code this to happen every hour (24 hours) across 4 units will be alot. I just don't have experience with triggers/flags. Any advice?
38. TIMED 4:00 PM MTWTFSS
AND IF UPSTAIRS NOT OFF
AND IF Living Room SYSTEM STATUS IS NOT HEATING
AND IF Living Room SYSTEM STATUS IS NOT COOLING
THEN Living Room FAN ON
39. TIMED 4:20 PM MTWTFSS
AND IF UPSTAIRS NOT OFF
THEN Living Room FAN AUTO
That is a good start. I think the trick with Omni is to do things in very small chucks. Many people try to put many things in a few lines and that is not the way to go.
So the trick is use flags and buttons and take small steps.
You started with:
When alarm is set to away
When unit is not actively heating or cooling
Also, when design things, think of reuse for other uses. Maybe first, set a flag for home and away. So when the alarm set to night, away, vacation, or off, update this flag on if it means you are home or away. In other-words, when OFF your home, when AWAY your not home, when night you are home, when vacation you are not home.
For heat or cool, you need to test every minute, then maybe set a heat and cool flag.
So now, when your conditions are met, maybe set another flag.
Now when that flag is on, you can work on the on/off fan interval. This will take two flags, one for on, one for off.
You get the idea, but remember SMALL steps.
