Hi,
Following some testing that Keen Home executed with my smartapps in their own lab, they’ve decided to promote my work on their SmartThings landing page:
My zoned heating/cooling solutions are getting recognized! More to come soon!

Hi again,
At this time of the year, you may want to know the following;

Today, in preparation for the hot summer days, I made the following changes to ecobeeSetZoneWithSchedule and ScheduleTstatZones (my zoned Heating/Cooling Solutions for ST):
The new logic allows use of alternative cooling in conjunction with cooling for a given schedule.
This may be required for certain schedules (ex. bedtime) when more cooling is required. By default, its value is false.

Hi,
My smartapps are now officially approved by Keen Home:

Hi,
Yesterday, I released a new version of ScheduleTstatZones & ecobeeSetZoneWithSchedule that can enable ‘free cooling’ using a Big Fan, an evoporative cooler, or Damper Switch(es) when the ideal outdoor temp & humidity are met.

Hi,
I have been using the smartapp for a couples off days and wonder if it is possible to set up or modify it to partially open the vents depending on the temperature. I have 5 rooms 2 that are usually cooler than the target that are close (that is ok) but 3 that are higher than the target so the 3 vents are fully open and wonder if it is possible to set up levels where the hottest room has the vent open 100% the second warmer 75% and so on or may be at a level based on the delta from the target temperature
Hi @mperroud ,
If you want to set up a different temp threshold per room, ScheduleRoomTempControl is more appropriate for this requirement…
ScheduleTstatZones and ecobeeSetZoneWithSchedule calculate the right vent level based on the temp differential (delta) of each room to the target setpoint(s) at the thermostat
Some of your requested features above would require some custom development and
some consulting fees are involved.
If you’re still interested, contact me at services@maisonsecomatiq.com

I’ve got setzonewithschedule running and I’m curious, will my ecobee3 still control itself?, The 2 rooms where I have smart vents, I am using Aeon Multisensors to control those with the smartapp but I dont have smart vents in every room. I do have ecobee remote sensors in those other rooms. Will those ecobee sensors still report AND tell the thermostat to heat/cool?
BTW, this setup does seem to be pretty sweet! Nice job. @yvesracine
The ecobee3 will still run its scheduled climates just like usual. EcobeeSetZoneWithSchedule relies on the ecobee scheduling…
Well, if you have enabled the ‘follow me’ sensors at ecobee, they still can, but I’d recommend to deactivate the follow me and only use the ecobeeSetZoneWithSchedule smartapp as it can do the same, but with different occupied thresholds per room.
You would need to create all the rooms where your ecobee3 remote sensors are (on top of your rooms where your keen home vents are), and add the remote sensors as temp and motion sensors in those rooms.
The smartapp can then use all your rooms sensors (aeon multisensors and ecobee3 remote sensors) to average out the temp for adjusting the thermstat’s setpoints (just like the follow me feature).
Regards.
EDIT: You have to set the following flag to true in General Setup:
section(“Enable temp adjustment at main thermostat based on indoor temp/motion sensor(s) [optional, default=false]”)
Ok I will work on that. Hopefully that will keep my thermostat from changing to cooler set points just to cool one room.
Today, I made some changes to ecobeeSetZoneWithSchedule to be able to change fanMinOnTime (minimum fan time in minutes per hour) in any schedules defined in the smartapp:

Hi,
Today, I made some changes to ecobeeSetZoneWithSchedule and ScheduleTstatZones so that switching to alternative cooling and back to cool or auto mode (when needed) would be done automatically when the right outdoor/indoor conditions are met:
The above features are added on top of all the features available. For the list of features and screen shots, refer to the top of this thread:

Now I just wish keen made square vents as all my cents are square and I think are 12x12
Hello,
I bought the TStatZone app. However, I do not wish it to change the thermostat settings just vent only, it that possible. Or should I have bought the other app?
thanks,
Chin
ScheduleRoomTempControl allows you to set the vents without changing the thermostat setpoints.
Let me know if you prefer to switch to the other app. Please email me at services@maisonsecomatiq.com.
Regards,
Today, I sent a new minor version of ecobeeSetZoneWithSchedule and ScheduleTstatZones with subpages and new icons in the Schedule Setup Page to all my current contributors.
This way, there are less input parameters in the page and it’s more user friendly!
Here are some screenshots:

With the latest 6.6.2 the vents are being cycle even without the system running. If I’m reading it correctly, it’s every minute that the vents switch from 10% to 25%.
Hi, could you send me an email at services@maisonsecomatiq.com
with the complete description of your issue and the name of the smartapp you’re using?
You should also send me screenshots of your configuration in Running Schedule Config page, so
that I can check your configuration.
The latest code has not changed anything related to the vents cycle processing.
P.S. Could it be another external app this is controlling your vents? Look at the list of installed smartapps under the ‘hamburger’ menu.
Regards.
