Heat is on…I have Keenect set to close the vent on a -2 offset, so if 72 in the room, shut the vent on 70.

Keenect logs just says:
3:06:19 PM: info Main HVAC heating setpoint changed to: 72.0

One of my vents:

can you try something, set up a virtual switch or actual switch to on. Use that as the zone control switch to see if its not enabling the zone because of a switch. I will look in the code this evening to see if that is the problem.

63

Just so I am doing it in the correct place, In Keenect, go into my zone, change temperature sensor for zone to a virtual or real switch?

64

not exactly. go to keenect, zone, advanced optional zone control switch. add a virtual or real switch thats in the on position.

Also try the latest version I have just uploaded.

65

one more thing, what are you using for a room temp sensor. The vents only update when the heat is on and the room temp sensor updates. I am using ecobee remote sensors with a 1 min interval.

66

They should also update when the main set point changes…

OK, looks like I have the latest updates.

Created a virtual switch and put it as the optional control. When I trigger the virtual switch nothing happens.

The room temp sensor I am using is the temp pn the main ecobee thermostat.

68

how do you set the 1 min on the ecobee remotes?

69

For the virtual switch it needs to be set to on and then have the heat cycle. Can you send me the ide config page for your zone.

I have updated the repo with a new version. I realized all new commits for versions were the unstable integrator beta. I will put up a new repo with the beta. For now use the main link for a stable version.

72

Scott

Were you able to get the zone running?

73

No, never got it working. I tried Keen Vent Manager and it’s working.

I will try getting Keenect working when I have some more time to play with it.

74

Thanks, when you have time let me know if you switch back if the problem was on our end.

75

BETA Release

New 2.5 Ecobee Climate Zone control, enable and disable keenectZones using ecobee scheduling

Further integrating keenect with ecobee, I have added the ability to toggle a zone based on ecobees comfort setting and schedule. An example is during the day some zone are enabled and in the evening different zones are enabled and with others disabled based schedule.

To prevent install errors, remove old versions and reinstall as new running the beta.

76

I’m excited to get this working, but for some reason the new Keenect Zone won’t auto install on my hub for some reason, it just creates blank toggles that I can’t get into.

77

Having some issues getting this installed and setup.

I’ve installed the app and enabled oauth but whenever I try and create a zone I get the following error:
11:39:09 AM: error java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method toInteger() on null object @ line 1223

78

Jeff
Great bug find.
Please grab the latest version it should be fixed.

79

Eric

I just pushed a new version out, this should fix all startup issues.

Thank you, let me get back home and I’ll update it and the thread. ETA 2 hours
