1 click button to change from Away to Home
Need Answer
What is the best way to have 1 button (on iphone app too :)) to change presence at home quickly.
I have 7-8 thermostats. I see thermostat in rule and I can create virtual switch to change the 8 thermostats but I do not see how to specify away in action. There is auto (good when I will return at home) but how can i define I leave the house ?
Tks

Im not sure i understand? But you like to make some "away" state set when you leave home? For that im currently using the iPhone app "Depart" that can trigger HTTP request on GPS location. So when GPS location is 50m from home it triggers my HTTP switch -> All lights are off.

yes but for heating system it is a bit more complex and I would prefer manage it manually.
For light it's pretty easy because you can define a scene with all light off and trigger it with your app but for thermostat you cannot use them in scene and in the rules there is nothing to change them.

Ok, so what you are looking for is to set scenes like "vacation" or "Night".
Depending on day time or upon vacation set a pre. defined tempterature?
Can you provide an example what you would like to do?

Use a virtual switch to trigger a rule.

In all my thermostat I have a temperature defined when I'm away. In thermostat you can also define when you are away for exemple from friday evening to sunday noon.
I would like to be able to change all thermostat with 1 action and not having to go in all thermostat.

I already thought about that but in the rule you cannot define action on thermostat yet it seems. Even if thermostat are there and you can put them in action, it seems there is nothing you can really do

I see this is an old thread, but I ran into the same problem. And I fould a working solution :-)
As suggested earlier, I use a virtual switch, and this switch is triggered in my "Leaving Home" Scene.
This switch again triggers a rule "Termostats AWAY"
Now comes the tricky part...
I had to use a combination of the old and the new rulecreator to put togehter something which works the way I want, since none of them contains all the options I need.
The final result looks like this:
