Set behaviour of heating / cooling smart rules based on Mode value
doc_tap_behaviour;
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:

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).

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:
...
...
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.
