Hi,

I have 5 rooms in my house, in each, I have a heater with 3 possible states. I created then 15 virtual switches, one for each state of each heater. The states are "confort", eco" and "off". Each switch executes a script when turned "on" and does nothing when turned "off". I have also added one event by switch when turned "on" which turns the other switches of the same room to "off". Turning "on" the switches does exactly what I expect on the heater but the event seems not working, since it does not turn "off" the other switches of the same room.

Here is my config:

The events are similar to this one:


In the second figure, if I turn "on" the switch labeled "cuisine confort", it does not turn "off" the two other "cuisine" switches. Any idea why it does not work?

Thanks a lot.

Sorry. Right after posting, I figured out that the events had not the same color on the event list and payed attention to the "enable" check box. I have enabled them all and now it is working.
Sorry for the useless post.

You should add an extra if before you set it to off. Now the cuisine Eco is set to off every minute the confort is on.
But way 3 switches for each room? Isn't a setpoint better for controlling heating?

That's exactly what I want. Since Cuisine can be either Eco, Confort, or Off, I want only one of them with the ON icon at a given instant, that's why I turn Eco off exactly when I turn Confort on (and vice versa).

If you can explain (or point) what is a setpoint, I'll do it. Thanks.

Setpoint is used for temperature. Together with a thermometer you have a thermostat.

Thanks but I do not plan to use it with a thermometer for now.

Small note: whenever a blockly script doesn't get triggered I usually remove it completely and create a new one (same logic). Sometimes by some weird disturbance in the Force an event simply stops firing. Had that several times now and creating a new one almost always solved it for me.
