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.

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:

Example

doc_tap_Ex;

...

doc_tap_ Zoneboiler;

...

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

doc_tap_ Simplefixed;

Automatic switching of Heating / Cooling modes

doc_tap_ AutomaticHC;

...

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

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:

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.
