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

Info

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.

Mode is supported in smart rules:

Partial support for Mode is also in:

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:

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:

  1. 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_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.
