Sure thing, I’m still trying to get the hang of it and stumbling my way through but so far it’s been solid for a month with only 1 misfire. My basic goal was to have the AC’s roll back to a higher temp when everyone is away and turn on when everyone is home. Lots of text following, let me know if anything is confusing.
In Smart things I created a few virtual switches. When those switches turn on or off I have them connected to IFTTT to activate different scenes in Intesis.
Smartthings Home Cooling Switch:
on - IFTTT to execute Intesis “Cool” scene (which is turn on all ACs and set to 74 degrees)
off - IFTTT to execute Intesis “off” scene
Smartthings Night/Away Cooling Switch
on - IFTTT to execute Intesis “Away Cool” scene (which is turn on all ACs and set to 78)
off - IFTTT to execute Intesis “off” scene
In Smart things routines, I have it set to always turn off the home cooling switch when it changes to “away” or “night” modes and turn off the night/away cooling switch when it changes to “home” mode.
And finally, controlling those switches is the CoRE app connected to a temperature sensor.
Piston 1 “home cooling”
- if temp goes over 76 degrees, turn on “home cooling switch”
- Then, if temp goes under 74 degrees turn off “home cooling switch”
- Only activate when mode is set to “home”
Piston 2 “away cooling”
- if temp goes over 78 degrees, turn on “night/away cooling switch”
- Then if temp goes under 77 degrees turn off “night/away cooling switch”
- Only activate when mode is set to “night or away”
