Help with simple ventilation rule

Boyan Krastev shared this question 9 years ago
Need Answer

Hello,


I am trying to set up a simple rule where if humidity level in bathroom is above defined threshold

a fan is being switched on. When humidity goes below the defined level - the fan is switched of.


Switching module is Zipato MM double switch (2x1.5kW) and humidity is reported by Aeon Labs multisensor gen5.


The current rule looks like this:

Ventilation+rule


I was not sure at which event i should hook the rule (cause multisensor=any didn't work) that's why I hooked it

to 1st switch any and 5 minute scheduler.


Condition to turn on the fan is when bathroom lights are off (1st relay on zipato/philio dual switch) and humidity over 60%.


Everything works fine but the problem is that when fan is on I can not turn it off by the wall switch!

Zipato switch module does not even light to acknowledge switch was flipped. Turning off from zipato panel/app works ok.


I need help to enhance the rule so if fan is running it will allow overriding (stopping) from the wall switch wired to the zipato switching module. If rule was overridden by wall switch, then rule should not trigger until humidity level increases by defined threshold (like 5%).


Any suggestions are appreciated.

Really nobody?


I guess I will have to start another thread with questions regarding inner working of Zipato rules.

I have other troubles when rules active switches not responding.

Try this...


When Bathroom-Multi !=0 or scheduler

If bathroom-multi=>60 and light=on

Bathroom fan action = on

Else

Wait = 15 sec

Bathroom action = on


Also for testing use a e-mail notification.

Can you clarify When Bathroom-Multi != 0 ?

You mean <meter (bathroom-multi[humidity]) != 0> ?


When using meter value comparison in "when" block does that mean rule will be executed when

event with value is received from sensor?

Tried the suggestion for HeroS...

Unfortunately the problem is the same. When rule meets the conditions and turns on the bathroom fan, wall switch does not respond. I have to switch the other one (light switch) and when light is on it allows me to turn off the fan from the wall switch.

Everything works ok from wall switch when rule is disabled.
