Using the NetLinx Module to Program the ViewStat

cool setpoint would be set to 72. While the temperature is within this range nothing is done. Once the temperature falls outside this range the system takes action and switches to the appropriate mode.

5.Humidify/Dehumidify: Some systems can maintain the humidity level within a certain range. These are similar to temperature setpoints except instead of temperature control equipment the system is controlling humidify and dehumidify equipment.

Command Interface - SEND_COMMANDs

Various system wide operations may be performed by the NetLinx program via SEND_COMMANDs sent to the virtual device controlling the thermostats.

The supported commands are listed below.
