How do I "raise a temperature" when someone is in the room?

Marcus Khoo shared this question 8 years ago
Need Answer

What I am trying to achieve in pseudo code is

If (the room is occupied) Then

increase the Virtual Thermostat Pro temperature in the room by 2 degrees Celsius for the next 30 mins

End If

Is this possible with the Rule creator in Zipato?

Thanks

Would this do it?

Hi Zipatians,

How about this rule? Do you think this will work?

Of course I meant 1800 for 30 mins!

Wao, this is not an easy rule...Hope someone will be able to answer. I'm having a similar issue. In the bathroom I want to achieve the following: when the motion sensor detects motion and the time is between 20:30 and 22:00 turn the radiator on for 30 minutes. Attached the printscreen of the rule. Currently it turns on for 30 minutes regardless of the time. Can someone advise?

Hum... In my own experience (I might be wrong) I found that it's better to trigger a When with only one event, and then include an "If" block to test another condition (for example time, and so on...). Every time I tried to trigger a When with 2 logical events: "event1 AND event2" it fails everytime. Perhaps because they aren't fired together and then they can't be identified by the Zipato event mgr in the same time. I don't know, but it's a possibility.

It's my 2 cents...

I have the same experence, use WHEN with one device, then IF to sort out the other statements of the devices.

Just a question: why don't you use the thermostat pro with calendar programming ?

I have a similar problem. My daughter comes home from school between 13:30 and 1600, with no fixed schedule. When motion before 1600 I would like to raise the temperature by 2 degrees UNTIL_NEXT.
