No luck with this unfortunately.
I have 8 room setup, two of these rooms (upstairs bedroom) and (livingroom) have temperature sensors. Upstairs bedroom has an ecobee proprietary sensor, and the ecobee itself is in livingroom.
I have two zones, upstairs and downstairs
And I have 3 schedules (home, away, sleep), which are paired with the default ecobee schedules.
I have tried to implement the fan on when temp differential occurs by following the guidance above, and by the following:
Use Case #16: I want to automatically control my tstats’ fan speed based on the temp offset in the scheduled zone(s)
…
For more details about the fan settings available, please refer to use case #7 above. You’d need to set the room/zone thermsostats in each room and build your zones according to your scheduling needs.
a) General Setup> On the 1st setup page, set the following flag to true
section(“Enable fan adjustment at main thermostat based on indoor/outdoor temp sensors [optional, default=false]”) {
“Enable fan adjustment set in schedules based on sensors?”
}
b) Schedules Setup>Fan Settings> for each schedule when new fan settings are required, you’d need to configure the max temp differential
in the zone to trigger the right fan speed
"Max Temp Differential in the active zone(s) to trigger Fan mode"
I set the differential to 3 degrees, and applied the same settings to each schedule.
However, the result is that the AC never comes on at all, and the fan just runs constantly trying to keep the two monitored rooms the same. I actually got a warning from the ecobee that it had been trying to call for cool and failing for 4 hours.
Im wondering if what i need is actually
Use Case #7: I want to set/adjust my fan mode during a schedule run
instead.
Will continue to experiment.
I cant find documentation on what the difference between “on, auto, and circulate” are in the below instruction set.
b) Schedules Setup>Fan Settings> for each schedule when new fan settings are required, you’d need to configure your fan settings
section(“Schedule ${indiceSchedule}-Set Fan Mode [optional]”) {
“Set Fan Mode [‘on’, ‘auto’, ‘circulate’]”, metadata: [values: [“on”, “auto”]], required: false,
}
