Mode-selector / multistate device

Currently i'm working on improving the daikin control script for use with my urura sarara heatpump airconditioner, because the current script is not working ideally for me (i tend to fall back to the remote a lot instead of using the tablet on the wall). Also, the automatic switching between heat/cool based on a temp comparison is not working out, since it tends to flap sometimes between heat and cooling modes. e.g. during daytime when the sun starts heating the room on heating mode it switches to cooling and then back to heating. After I got it working properly i will post this to the relevant topic of course. I wish to implement some support for selecting the mode on the aircon, e.g. ideally i could select (from a dropdown, or a rotator switch, etc.) the mode using a single button. e.g. OFF/AUTO/COOL/HEAT/DRY/HUMIDIFY/DRY COOL/HUMID HEAT/FAN/FRESH. Currently I would need to create a lot of on/off switches and a lot of dirty code and sub/slave device settings to make it sort of easy to use and consistent, but its not really. Also it takes up a lot of "screen estate" on the control devices (app and tablets)
I can imagine some other applications benefiting from this, e.g. lighting scene selector, selecting ventilation settings, bundle all logitech harmony activity switches in a single device/control, displaying presence states, etc.

I also would like to have an Switch with 3 buttons for my blinds - down, stop and up. The Blinds stops only by pressing the stop button on the remote
would be great...at least for me

I also thought about how much it could be resolved by switching to a four-speed fan.
Please be multi-state switch.

Looks like that. I did read thru the
pull request and looks like it has int string mapping sql-database. Have to try it at week end.

Hi
Just did a quick test to simulate heating swicth (Off / Eco / Confort). Couldn't make it working with blocky but works fine with Lua...
Create Selector Switch with Off / Eco / Confort level name and 3 virtual switches Heating / Heating Eco and Heating Confort
- Selector SW 1.JPG (67.64 KiB) Viewed 15975 times
- Selector SW 2.JPG (32.35 KiB) Viewed 15975 times
and a lua script
Code: Select all
-- script_device_SelectorSwitch_TEST.lua
--
commandArray = {}
-- Commande Selector Switch
if (devicechanged['Selector Switch'] == 'Off' and otherdevices['Test Chauffage'] == 'On') then
commandArray['Test Chauffage']='Off'
commandArray['Test Chauffage Eco']='Off'
commandArray['Test Chauffage Confort']='Off'
print('Test Chauffage Off')
end
if (devicechanged['Selector Switch'] == 'Eco' and otherdevices['Test Chauffage Eco'] == 'Off') then
commandArray['Test Chauffage']='On'
commandArray['Test Chauffage Eco']='On'
commandArray['Test Chauffage Confort']='Off'
print('Test Chauffage Eco')
end
if (devicechanged['Selector Switch'] == 'Confort' and otherdevices['Test Chauffage Confort'] == 'Off') then
commandArray['Test Chauffage']='On'
commandArray['Test Chauffage Eco']='Off'
commandArray['Test Chauffage Confort']='On'
print('Test Chauffage Confort')
end
return commandArray
FYI I use Domoticz V2.3852
Will use it for bathroom heating control
Thanks for this new feature

Hi SQ9MDD
That's the config I use (Dummy switch). I don't have mysensor.

What is missing is to have different icon for each level

Right, and possibility to changing lvl 0 name. Sometimes we need a selector for operating modes, changing types of behavior, not only for start/mode/stop.
And another BIG question: they are plannig add selector to the mysensors?
