Daikin and rule issue

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules
1

Hi folks,

I have a rule that is working partially:

rule "Attic Comfort"
when
    Item Netatmo_HobbyRoom_Temperature received update or
    Item Daikin_Attic_AC_Mode changed to OFF or
    System started
then
    if (!(Netatmo_LivingRoom_Temperature.state instanceof DecimalType) || (Daikin_Attic_AC_Mode == ON)) {
        return;
    }
    if ((now.getDayOfWeek == 6) || (Auto_Energy_Timeslot.state == 3)) {
        if (Netatmo_HobbyRoom_Temperature.state < 19.0) {
            Daikin_Attic_ACMode.sendCommand("HEAT")
            Daikin_Attic_ACSetPoint.sendCommand(22)
            Daikin_Attic_ACPower.sendCommand(ON)
        }
        else if (Netatmo_HobbyRoom_Temperature.state > 28.0) {
            Daikin_Attic_ACMode.sendCommand("COLD")
            Daikin_Attic_ACSetPoint.sendCommand(25)
            Daikin_Attic_ACPower.sendCommand(ON)
        }
        else if (Daikin_Attic_ACPower == ON) {
            if (Daikin_Attic_ACMode.state.toString.contains("HEAT") && Netatmo_HobbyRoom_Temperature.state >= 20.0){
            Daikin_Attic_ACPower.sendCommand(OFF)
            }
            else if (Daikin_Attic_ACMode.state.toString.contains("COLD") && Netatmo_HobbyRoom_Temperature.state <= 26.0){
            Daikin_Attic_ACPower.sendCommand(OFF)
            }
        }
    }
    else {
        return;
    }
end

The idea is:

  • when it’s Saturday, or when the energy timeslot is OK (during the night/sunday), my air conditioner needs to start working
  • if the temperature is lower than 19 celsius, the mode is “heat”
  • if the temperature is more than 28 celsius, the mode is “cold”
  • if the temperature is more or equal 20 celsius, in heating mode I need to stop it
  • if the temperature is lower or equal 25 celsius, in cooling mode I need to stop it

The air conditioner starts working properly, but I’m not able to stop it. Any suggestion?

FYI
Daikin_Attic_AC_Mode is a virtual switch (to set the mode auto or manual)
Daikin_Attic_ACMode is a channel to change the air conditioner mode from cold to heat to dehumidifier to fan

thanks
Andrea

Have you added logging to check the values in the rule?

Last try

rule "Attic Comfort"
when
    Item Netatmo_HobbyRoom_Temperature received update or
    Item Daikin_Attic_AC_Mode changed to OFF or
    System started
then
    if (!(Netatmo_LivingRoom_Temperature.state instanceof DecimalType) || (Daikin_Attic_AC_Mode == ON)) {
        return;
    }
    if ((now.getDayOfWeek == 6) || (Auto_Energy_Timeslot.state == 3)) {
        if (Netatmo_HobbyRoom_Temperature.state < 19.0) {
            Daikin_Attic_ACMode.sendCommand("HEAT")
            Daikin_Attic_ACSetPoint.sendCommand(22)
            Daikin_Attic_ACPower.sendCommand(ON)
        }
        if (Netatmo_HobbyRoom_Temperature.state > 20.0 && Netatmo_HobbyRoom_Temperature.state < 26.0) {
            Daikin_Attic_ACPower.sendCommand(OFF)
        }
        if (Netatmo_HobbyRoom_Temperature.state >= 28.0) {
            Daikin_Attic_ACMode.sendCommand("COLD")
            Daikin_Attic_ACSetPoint.sendCommand(25)
            Daikin_Attic_ACPower.sendCommand(ON)
        }
    }
end

I will add some logs to check the values (thanks @vzorglub)

First step to debugging this sort of things.
Monitor the values in your if statements so that you know what’s actually happening instead of what you think is happening

I can’t debug the behaviour during the Summer (for high temperatures), but for now I will check the Winter way :slight_smile:

thanks again

Yes you can, use the rest api to simulate the conditions

How?

Another way to do this is through the console…

smarthome:update Netatmo_HobbyRoom_Temperature 29
