In order for the system to automatically switch the modes, add smart rule Equation for the multi-value switch Mode.
Example:
Dynamic type medium workaround
If you use a machine (e.g. heat pump) that is able to produce both heating and cooling medium via the same output actuator, Dynamic type of medium is required for proper configuration.
There are two possible scenario:
- Heat pump is in automatic mode and switches between hot and cold automaticaly by itself. TapHome just reads the reed contact with the actual type of medium.
- Create reed contact input and use Device type "Heating & Cooling"
|
|
|
|---|
- Go to Thermostat and add "Temperature hysteresis controller" smar rule. In the smart rule use Heating & Cooling mode fixed and as Medium select reed contact prepared in previous step
|

2. Heat pump is in manual mode and the TapHome switches between hot and cold using output relays that control auxillary inputs on heat pump.
- Create virtual switch "Medium" and use "Heating & Cooling" device type within the service settings.
|
|
|---|
- Create the configuration where TapHome relays managing the type of medium on Heat Pump switch virtual switch "Medium" automatically from Cooling to Heating and viceversa. This will keep the Medium switch everytime in the right state (Heating or Cooling) in line with the heat pump.
- Go to Thermostat and add "Temperature hysteresis controller" smar rule. In the smart rule use Heating & Cooling mode fixed and as Medium select switch Medium prepared in previous step.
