Single Thermostat with Multiple Virtual Thermostats
Need Answer
I try to look for the solution, but I couldn't find it.
I have created two virtual thermostat, one in living room and one in bedroom. The actual Z-wave thermostat hardware is in living room. The bedroom has z-wave temperature sensor. My goal is to use temperature sensor in the bedroom to control the livingroom ONLY at sleep time. During the day, the thermostat should use the livingroom schedule. How do I do it?
I created two virtual thermostat and two different schedules. Apparently, it doesn't work. My thermostat is always changed to "off" mode.
The same question
No connection
Real-time notifications may not work
Very tricky one. Winder what experts would say.

How about making two virtual switches, one for each room. Each virtual thermostat controls its own virtual switch. Then you can make a rule that can select which one you want to use to control the thermostat either by a fixed time of day or by a switch you flip when you go to bed.. ?

I have the solution. Philip, the solution requires the input measure change not the output. So here is the deal:
You have 2 virtual thermostats, that is fine. For the bedroom thermostat you do not change anything. For the living room thermostat you do the following:
1. create a virtual meter and set is as thermometer input for the living room thermostat. now you create 2 rules, one for the daytime and one for the evening. The daytime rule will be scheduled at lets say 8am in the morning and it will set the virtual thermometer to the temperature measured by the living room. The second rule will be schedule at bedtime start time and will set the virtual thermometer as the bedroom temperature. I have attached the rule that you need. Instead of the Ati doma sensor you will insert a scheduler that will repeat every day. As you can see the virtual thermometer is 23,3 degrees which was set by the rule immediately once the Ati doma sensor become active (is did not have any values before executing the rule).
Simple:)

Actually I was thinking, you will need to make either more rules as you need the temperature to be synced on a regular basis (like once every hour) or put a repeat, refresh and wait puzzle so it will refresh the temperature according to the new measurement.
