ViewStat Communicating Thermostat

String Feedback (Cont.)

String Description

'T-<stat> FAN-<val>' Reports current fan state.

Parameters:

• <tstat> : id of thermostat/zone

• <val> :

0 = fan is off

1 = fan is on

Example:

'T-2 FAN-1'

'T-<tstat> FMODE-<val>' Reports current fan mode.

Parameters:

<tstat> : id of thermostat/zone

<val> : ON = fan on

AUTO = thermostat will control the fan

Example:

'T-12 FMODE-AUTO'

'T-<tstat> HEAT-<val>' Reports current heat set point.

Parameters:

• <tstat> : id of thermostat/zone

• <val> : 38..88 = current heat set point (F)

Example:

'T-1 HEAT-68'

'T-<tstat> HMODE-<val>' Reports current humidify mode.

Parameters:

• <tstat> : id of thermostat/zone

• <val> :

OFF = disabled (no humidity control)

HUMID = humidify mode

DEHUM = dehumidify mode

AUTO = automatically controlled based on humidify and

dehumidify set points.

Example:

'T-6 HMODE-AUTO'

'T-<tstat> HOLD-<val>' Reports current thermostat hold state.

Parameters:

• <tstat> : id of thermostat/zone

• <val> :

ON = thermostat in hold mode

OFF = thermostat no in hold mode

Example:

'T-2 HOLD-ON'

'T-<tstat> HUM-<val>' Reports current inside humidity.

Parameters:

• <tstat> : id of thermostat/zone

• <val> : 0..100 = humidity level (%)

Example:

'T-14 HUM-56'
