zwave trane thermostat & applescript

I am trying to use the simple example from the applescript example page:
"set fan mode of device "First Floor" to fanAlwaysOn -- keeps the fan running all the time - fanAutoOn is the other
option"


tell application "IndigoServer"
set fan mode of device "ThemostatUpstairs" to fanAlwaysOn
end tell

get an error message:
error "IndigoServer got an error: Can’t set fan mode of device \"ThemostatUpstairs\" to \"fanAlwaysOn\"." number -10006 from fan mode of device "ThemostatUpstairs"

what am I doing wrong?

using Indigo 6 b10 and Zwave trane thermostat


Tanks

ps I know I should be doing this in py by now..

to get started, could someone post the py lines to do this

Code: Select all

tell application "IndigoServer"
   set tempRemote to (get value of variable "Inside_Temperature_remote_sensor")
   set tempUPs to (get value of  ... temperature of thermostat ..??)  -- get temperature of thermostat
end tell

if (tempRemote - tempUPs) > 3 then  -- switch on fan if temperature difference is larger than 3 degrees
   set fan mode of device "ThemostatUpstairs" to fanAlwaysOn
end if

Make sure the name of your thermostat is actually"ThermostatUpstairs" (notice you have no space between thermostat and upstairs).

yes it is correct the device name is ThemostatUpstairs

That's the only thing that can cause that error as far as I know...

A missing r in the device name?

that is embarrassing ...

Shouldn't be - the error in that instance is supremely unhelpful. Just glad we got to the bottom of it.

I have disabled as much logging as I can (all 3 "Hide .." boxes in configure Thermostat Module are checked), But I still get 12 lines * 4 thermostats every minute (I am polling every minute)

any (hidden option) to only log error messages?

thx

Karl


This time 4 every minute.

I would disable polling for the trane thermostat -- it appears to be very good about broadcasting all local (at the thermostat) changes back to Indigo.
