Hi All
I am trying to get an ELK M1 with Aprilarie 8870 Tstats to override the normal settings when I arm the system with "Vacation Mode"
As I have read here previously "there is no "not" command so what I think I have read is to use an "OutPut " as a trigger.
What I am trying to accomplish is have the Tsats set to 60 deg when in Vacation Mode and run the regular Tstat rules when it isn't in Vacation Mode.
I have nothing connected to Output 16 so I have used that as my trigger. Do I need anything connected to Output 16 for it to use it?
1) WHENEVER Main House IS ARMED VACATION
THEN TURN Output 016 ON
2) WHENEVER Main House ARM STATE BECOMES DISARMED
THEN TURN Output 016 OFF
3) WHENEVER Output 016 STATE IS TURNED ON
THEN SET Tstat 1 HEATING DESIRED TEMP TO 60 DEG F.
4) WHENEVER Output 016 STATE IS TURNED OFF
AND THE TIME OF DAY IS 6:45 AM
THEN SET Tstat 1 HEATING DESIRED TEMP TO 60 DEG F.
5) WHENEVER Output 016 STATE IS TURNED OFF
AND THE TIME OF DAY IS 11:15 PM
THEN SET Tstat 1 HEATING DESIRED TEMP TO 60 DEG F.
I have other Tsats put the programming is the same. Is this the best way to do this? Will this work?
Anyone who has experience with this I would like your input!
Thanks
