Smart rules for regulation of temperature control have unified setting for switching between heating and cooling modes.

Info

Go to Settings → Virtual devices → Add virtual device → Multi-Value Switch section: Heating & Cooling.

Define which modes are supported

...

In order to manage activation of heating or cooling within location, use predefined virtual multi-value switch Mode.

...

  1. To adjust Mode switch to show only modes that are relevant for specific location, use Service Settings of Mode multi-value switch.
  2. In Service Settings, open DEVICE tab and turn on/off specific modes.

...

Partial support for Mode is also in:

  • Equithermic Equitherm regulation
  • Blinds adjustment according to sun

...

Example

Zone regulation of floor heating with hot water from boiler

Simple setup: Hot water is circulating in the pipes during heating season, and there is no circulation during cooling season (managed by boiler).

  • Set Mode to "Fixed heating"
  • Set Medium to "Hot (fixed)"

Automatic switching of Heating / Cooling modes

In order for the system to automatically switch the modes, add smart rule Equation for the multi-value switch Mode.
