Re: Official Insteon/Venstar Thermostat How To Thread

Wondering what Button 251 is supposed to be? Humidity?

Thermostat is a 2491T7E with the humidity sensor in-place.

From my log:

Feb 21, 2013 12:16:13 AM
Received INSTEON "HVAC" off (button 2)
Thermostat Enhancement Add-On The heating System ran for 14 minutes (Hours: 0.0)
Received INSTEON "HVAC" off (button 251)
Received INSTEON "HVAC" off (button 251)

Re: Official Insteon/Venstar Thermostat How To Thread

My 1.5 year old Venstar thermostat T1900 died and I just replaced with an Insteon thermostat 2441TH. I am having problems with the "energy setting". It seems to randomly pop on and off, which either adds or subtracts 4 degrees from my temperature setting. Not sure why. Very irritating because I set at 69 walk away, and an hour or two later, "energy" setting is on and thermostat set at 65. I see a log reading of Thermostat - Downstairs" heat setpoint changed to 65.0.

Does Indigo detect or can it send a signal to turn "energy" off or on, or change the setting so this mode changes set point by 0 degrees instead of 4 degrees. Per the manual for the 2441TH, there is a way with HouseLinc to change the "energy" button offset. Can Indigo do this?


To follow-up, I went to sleep at 1 AM with heat on and setpoint at 70 degrees . My log indicates the heat turning on and off with temperature between 68.5 and 69.5 until 2:26 AM (normal), but then suddenly at 2:26 AM I see the following:

Code: Select all
  Received INSTEON                "Thermostat - Downstairs" on (button 2)
  Received INSTEON                "Thermostat - Downstairs" temperature changed to 68.5
  Received INSTEON                "Thermostat - Downstairs" off (button 2)
  Received INSTEON                "Thermostat - Downstairs" heat setpoint changed to 66.0
  Received INSTEON                "Thermostat - Downstairs" cool setpoint changed to 77.0
  Received INSTEON                "Thermostat - Downstairs" cool setpoint changed to 77.0

I speculate that the "energy" setting came on as heat setpoint dropped by 4 degrees and cool setpoint increased by 4 degrees. Temperature fell to 65 degrees by 4:27 AM, when the "energy" setting came back off (and setpoints changed back to where they were):

Code: Select all
Feb 21, 2013 4:27:01 AM
  Received INSTEON                "Thermostat - Downstairs" on (button 2)
  Received INSTEON                "Thermostat - Downstairs" temperature changed to 65.0
  Received INSTEON                "Thermostat - Downstairs" heat setpoint changed to 70.0
  Received INSTEON                "Thermostat - Downstairs" cool setpoint changed to 73.0
  Received INSTEON                "Thermostat - Downstairs" humidity changed to 23.0
  Received INSTEON                "Thermostat - Downstairs" humidity changed to 22.0

What I do not know is if my thermostat is defective of if some power line or insteon interference is signaling the "energy" setting to kick in? Seems very odd as I don't even know if there is an insteon command to simulate "energy" on/off. Thoughts?

Re: Official Insteon/Venstar Thermostat How To Thread

Sorry for such a simple question, but I've searched the forums a bit and did not find the answer. Is there a way to suppress the logging of Insteon status changes for the thermostat? I'm using the Venstar thermostat, and I have "Enable Indigo Communication" and "Display in remote UI" both checked.

The messages that I am referring to are shown in the picture.

I really want to notice any motion events, light on events, etc., and the thermostat messages add too much noise to the signal.

Thanks!

Re: Official Insteon/Venstar Thermostat How To Thread

There isn't currently a way to not log or hide those, unfortunately.

We have on our feature wish list improving the logging capabilities, which includes more control over what and how things are logged. Our Indigo v6 schedule is pretty full already, but I agree the logging flexibility in Indigo currently isn't where it needs to be.

Re: Official Insteon/Venstar Thermostat How To Thread

Thanks, Matt. OK, so I'm not lazy and losing my search game.

It definitely would be handy to be able to suppress those lines.

Something like an "egrep -v" functionality.

Thanks!

Re: Official Insteon/Venstar Thermostat How To Thread

This keeps being brought up, but these thermostat status messages keep clogging the log. Below is just over 2 hours of messages from this morning. Because of the constant logging, I can't just go to the log to see what's happening with my system; the meaningful events have rolled out of the 1500 lines by the time I figure out I need to look. I know you guys have so much stuff to do, but please consider moving suppression of these messages to a higher priority.

Re: Official Insteon/Venstar Thermostat How To Thread

We'll see what we can do about the specific messages from the thermostat. The larger project is out of scope for Indigo 6.0 GM.

Re: Official Insteon/Venstar Thermostat How To Thread

I had a weird issue with my Venstar.
When in Cool mode, when the Venstar turns on the AC, the Venstar draws about an amp through it's 24V ac supply. At all other times, it's in the 10s of mA.
I tried switching out with different Venstars and they are all the same.
This "problem" caused my HVAC control board 24V ac fuse (3A) to blow.

I can't think why the Venstars would draw 1A only when calling for cooling.
Anyone have any ideas (other than buy a bigger fuse)

Re: Official Insteon/Venstar Thermostat How To Thread

On my control display the cool icons no longer change when the AC is on cool but just stay dull. I upgraded to b11 and rebooted, as well as changed one of them to a heat button, saved, reopened and changed it back to a cool icon. No joy.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Does it stay dull even if you do a Get All Status?
It could just be that your Venstar is failing to communicate the state change.
Get All Status will keep retrying until it gets an ack (or error out).

Re: Official Insteon/Venstar Thermostat How To Thread

The thermostat doesn't support querying for the HVAC state so Indigo is dependent on receiving the broadcast messages from the thermostat. If those messages get lost (for instance due to signal noise or collisions) then we won't know the state has been updated.

If it never works then try to resync the thermostat - that will make sure the broadcasts are configured correctly.

Are you saying a Get All Status doesn't get the AC state?
Does it get the Heating state?
The reason I ask is that in my control page, I specifically have a "Get Status" button which does seem to update the state if a broadcast message had got lost (as you suggested)
