@AndrewFG, I’ve got a rule which turns my heating off when a window is opened, and on when it is closed. But sometimes, a window is opened and almost immediately closed again (e.g. to let the dog into the house).
It looks like something went wrong this morning. This particular window is tied to two tado zones: zone 6: the kitchen, with Thing homekit:bridged-accessory:72157980e9e1:5 (a TVR), and zone 2: the dining room, with Things homekit:bridged-accessory:72157980e9e1:2 (the thermostat) and homekit:bridged-accessory:72157980e9e1:6 (a TVR).
When the window is opened:
items[verwarmingsitemstring + "_Heating_Cooling_Target"].sendCommand(0);
items[verwarmingsitemstring + "_mode"].postUpdate("MANUAL");
When the window is closed:
items[verwarmingsitemstring + "_mode"].sendCommand("SCHEDULE");
items[verwarmingsitemstring + "_Heating_Cooling_Current"].postUpdate("1");
items[verwarmingsitemstring + "_Heating_Cooling_Target"].postUpdate("1");
If more than one tado zone is linked to a window, the script iterates over the relevant verwarmingsitemstrings, in this case Verwarming_keuken and Verwarming_eetkamer.
I still control Items Verwarming_keuken_mode and Verwarming_eetkamer_mode via the tado binding.

For some reason, Verwarming_eetkamer_Heating_Cooling_Target was switched to 0 again… Maybe because there are two Channels (for the two Things) connected to this Item?
