Evohome Control From Dashboard

[chonnymon]

Hello,

I have added my evohome system via API and am able to set the temperature when viewing the devices in the temperature tab, however, I am unable to set the temperature from the dashboard.

Is there any way to enable this? or a workaround

Ideally would also like to be able to set an 'override' timer so that I can for example set 'living room to 20 degrees for 2 hours' before returning to the normal schedule

I have tried googling and searching these forums and have not been able to find an answer.

Many thanks in advance

You cannot change temp from the dashboard, unfortunately. If you want to create a switch that sets a temperature with an until-time specified, a JSON call to the api will do the trick (this is mentioned in the wiki). Something along the lines of:

Code: Select all
