Can anyone help with this use case?
I would like to have @copyninja 's iComfort app turn away mode “on” after a period of motion inactivity (say 1 hour), and turn away mode back off when motion is sensed. This (in my opinion) would be a killer use/app - essentially providing the presence functionally of nest but with multiple sensors and Lennox’s variable load capacity to boot.
I have an app that I use to turn lights on/off right now that I would like to modify - just need some direction (I’m not a programmer … but I can (barely) take other peoples work and revise it to make it work for my purposes).
Any help is appreciated.
I guess to start, what would I need to write so that I can change the mode to “away” in @copyninja iComfort app?
