If you want to set different modes for every zone (or section of the house), you can define multiple Mode virtual switches. Go to Settings → Virtual devices → Add virtual device → Multi-Value Switch section: Heating & Cooling. doc_tap_HeCoo; |

Mode is supported in smart rules:

...
doc_tap_Modecontroller;
Partial support for Mode is also in:
...
doc_tap_Modesun;
...
doc_tap_Mediumactuator;
...
Medium is e.g. water running in pipes, and you can select between 2 types plus dynamic switching based on reed contact or switch device:

Table below shows behaviour of hysteresis and PID smart rules based on type of Medium and value of Mode switch:

Heating Mode | Output actuator turns ON when | Output actuator is held in OFF state |

Cooling Mode | Output actuator is held in OFF state | Output actuator is turned on when |

Heating & Cooling Mode | Output actuator is turned on when | Output actuator is turned on when |
doc_tap_HCMod; | doc_tap_ Outputahigher; | doc_tap_ Outputaclower; |
Off (No heating, no cooling) | Output actuator is held in OFF state | Output actuator is held in OFF state |

In order for the system to automatically switch the modes, add smart rule Equation for the multi-value switch Mode.
Example:
doc_tap_EquationMode;
...
doc_tap_Dynamicw;
...
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.
...
doc_tap_IfCooling;
...
doc_tap_Thermostatstep;
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.
