There is an option within the settings (method varies on the model). Look at the user guide for your model and find the setting for scheduling options. You will have programmable or non-programmable. If you choose non-programmable it will remove all scheduling and there will never be any holds placed on the thermostat. The scheduling will then need to be handled entirely by smart things.
Never Mind figured it out
OK question for you programers I have Jodyâs code and Robert Hudsons idle modifications installed. I am running into a problem that is strange to say the least. The running state does not change no matter the running state. The only way to get it to respond is either raise or lower temp then hit refresh. Any ideas on how to get this idle to run when the status changes? The code used is below.
//Operating State Section
//Set the operating state to off
def operatingState = "idle"
if(statusCool == 1 )
{
operatingState = ârunningâ
} else if (statusHeat == 1 )
{
operatingState = ârunningâ
} else {
operatingState = âidleâ
}
//End Operating State
Get Honeywell to publish their API.
Again, the information that Honeywell provides that is used by that code often is not accurate.

Yes I do understand that, but the functions now work, but I am missing something to make it work without interaction. We have come a long way and I think we are at the home stretch. I am not a programer and there has to be a string of code that would update the status in real time. My temp, Humidity, fan and everything but status is working fine.
There is a signup for access to their supposedly open API. Iâm not a coder or I would try it out, maybe one of you awesome coders could? By the way thanks for all the work that you all have done in getting this working.
I wonder if they will ever send it.
I felt like I was in the home stretch for 3 months. I reached out to honeywell multiple times about the API and was told that it was open to specific platform partners. They have broken the work around several times over the last 4 months, each time requiring sniffing out the connections and divining what setting they changed. Not all of the models have the same feature set, nor do they all report their settings in the same way.
I asked for API access in August 2014 and then again in December. I still donât have anything.
It is a shame as the Thermostat I love, and I have a large investment in it so I would hate to go out and buy another different one.
I feel the same way.
How is that Ecobee3 working out?
Itâs great. Itâs smart about running the fan to circulate. My temps are now very consistent and predictable. Due to the open API, there is already very nice integration with SmartThings. I am doing all of the scheduling on the ecobee, but still setting home, away, and night with ST. My heater runs about 15% less at the same outdoor temperature than it did when the honeywell was just accounting for indoor temps and turning everything on or off.
Nice. I have enjoyed the Honeywell but am now trying to tie things together and am rethinking a few of the other âsmartâ devices I have. I think I will look at the Ecobee3 as part of my rethinking.
I have everything working including the inside humidity, but the running status is slow to update or doesnât update. But that is just Eye Candy. But I would still like to figure out why it wonât run.
I am going to try the circulate setting on the Honeywell as maybe it will feel more evenly heated. I know I do it during the summer months, but never did it in the winter. I donât know why but maybe I am missing out on a more cozy house.
Iâm still having problems with displaying my humidity.
Can you post your code? I would really appreciate .
Thanks!
The code I posted was full of errors I am waiting for Robert to reply with up to date code, I messed mine up complexity.
@hondohudson Great Job on your design.
I just learned a few things from your code that will make my thermostat look better. Here is my design for a different thermostat product. (Actually itâs a IR sender for split systems)
Robert have you gotten the circulate to work? All I get is on and Auto. Here is my view Robert to fix the light gray text on the Humidity your line shopuld look like this. You are missing a comma.
state âdefaultâ, label:âHumidity ${currentValue}%â, unit:"%",
Sorry if this was asked before but couldnt find any reference anywhere for a Honeywell thermostat model # ending with F1004. So here goesâŚ
Anyone know if ST will work with Model #RTH8580WF1004??
