I have it running cool only using Code E_Sch sent me. no exceptions anymore. I am running cool only.

Unfortunately, it still closes the vent all the way (including ignoring the minimum vent opening selection as well.

Can you post some logs from Kenect and the zones

144

FYI, pretty sure the code for cool needs this change changed minus to plus

if (zoneTempLocal > zoneCSPLocal+1.4){
state.zoneneedofset = true
logger(10,ā€œinfoā€,ā€œCHILD zone needs offsetā€)
}
if (zoneTempLocal > zoneCSPLocal+1.7){
state.parentneedoffset = true
logger(10,ā€œinfoā€,ā€œParent needs offsetā€)
}
if (zoneTempLocal < zoneCSPLocal+1.4) {
state.zoneneedofset = false
logger(10,ā€œinfoā€,ā€œCHILD zone dose not need offsetā€)
}
if (zoneTempLocal < zoneCSPLocal+1.7) {
state.parentneedoffset = false
logger(10,ā€œinfoā€,ā€œParentdose not need offsetā€)
}

getting logs soon.

I also hardcoded lines 476 and 607 on the main app to make it start doing evaluations.

147

what is the vent max opening and vent min opening set to? the code for csp is to be +

148

one moment I think I found the problem.

149

in the setup ac needs to be enabled and for each of the zones min and max opening need to be set.

150

AC is enabled and they were set to 20 for minimum and full open for max

151

Set min to 20 and max to 90 AC is on

more kibbitzing:

For cold:

                if (state.AggressiveTempVentCurveActive) {
                 VoLocal=Math.round(((zoneTempLocal - zoneCSPLocal)+ 0.2 )*300)

for hot:

                 if (state.AggressiveTempVentCurveActive){
                 
                 VoLocal=Math.round(((zoneHSPLocal - zoneTempLocal) + (1.0))*66)

I would think they would be more similar.

153

I have identified the problem its a setting on the min and max vent opening for cooling. I am fixing now.

154

please paste the following at 763 in keen zone

 def minVoCLocal = settings.minVoC.toInteger()
def maxVoCLocal = settings.maxVoC.toInteger()

it appears we were not setting the cool min and max vent opening

155

Just pushed out version 2.7 that should fix this problem. Please try the first fix first as 2.7 has additional capabilities and options that I have released early with limited testing.

156

Preliminary results look good! The vents in zones overtemp are open, the vent in undertemp is closed. I will keep logging through the night and check in the morning.

Thanks for the great work!
Craig

157

Overnight results look good. The vents are not being reset to zero all of the time.

Do you want me to move to 2.7 for testing?

Craig

158

I have release an beta update to the full system.

Keenect to 2.7
Keenzone to 2.8

Bug Fixes
In this update an effort was placed on bug fixing around problems with nest thermostats.

New Features
-This release adds the ability to set a vent position when a whole house humidifier is running from an ecobee thermostat without a call for heat. Each zone has a setting on the main page for a corresponding vent position.

Requirements
-If you update a previous version keenect you must go into each zone and then click done to update the humidifier vent position.
-In this release I am moving away from supporting the generic ecobee driver because of the many missing features and moving to support yracine device handler https://github.com/yracine/device-type.myecobee I understand his device type is not a free solution however for the features I am offering this is the device driver the system was built off.
-I will work in the coming months to update the needed features into a generic and free device driver.

I updated to this code today.
I have to open the vents manually or I canā€™t save the setup page. exception on line 1089 when I try to save.
The room is colder than setpoint, so it should go to minimum. It is ignoring the minimum cooling vent opening and closing the vents all of the way. When that happens I get this:

The problem your experiencing is because you do not have a vent associated with that zone. Try deleting the zone and making a new zone?

Thanks
