xPL HVAC schema module

Rate this Message:
I put together an xPL HVAC module that supports the HVAC Schema. If
you define the following: xPL_HVACGATEWAY,iranger-aprilair.0a000004013x0l7,hvac_gateway,Gateways xPL_HVACZONE,5,xpl_mstr_tstat,hvac_gateway,ALL_TSTATS xPL_HVACZONESETPOINT,5,xpl_mstr_tstat_coolsp,hvac_gateway,ALL_SPS,cool You can use the following code to scan for changes: if ($xpl_mstr_tstat->state_now) { my $data = state $xpl_mstr_tstat; if ($data =~ /hvac\.zone : zone/) { print_log "Master Thermostat " . $xpl_mstr_tstat- >hvac_state . " Temperature " . $xpl_mstr_tstat->temperature . "\n"; } } if ($xpl_mstr_tstat_coolsp->state_now) { print_log "Master Thermostat Setpoint cool state " . state $xpl_mstr_tstat_coolsp . "\n"; } Due to the hvac.zone message containing many different state variables, I didn't monitor a single variable. I discovered that when nothing is monitored, the entire xPL message is returned as the state when the state/message changes. The test for the hvac.zone string confirms we only handle the state changes for that particular xPL message. Otherwise we can try to deal with state changes for hvac.zoneinfo messages. There might be a better way to do this. The hvac setpoint data is set up as a child object of the hvac zone object. This lets you track setpoint changes per setpoint per zone. Settable items are the setpoints, hvac mode and fan mode. Let me know if anyone is interested.

I am currently finishing off an xPL gateway to my DIY HVAC Zone controller. The zone controller controls individual aircon zones aiming to measure and maintain the individual setpoints while the main reverse cycle aircon (Daikin) does it own thing. I have compatibility with Misterhouse via straight xPL Items. I would be very interested to see what tack you have taken, and leverage off your work! In particular to ensure my gateway (which is HVAC xPL compliant) is compatible with your MH interface. Andy. Greg Satz wrote:

I have packaged my xPL MH changes into http://www.iranger.com/downloads/xpl.tar.gz for those interested. It contains diffs to the files I changed within MH itself, the new code modules I wrote for the xPL security and HVAC schemas as well as the mh.private.ini and code directory so you can see how I used them. The MH diffs are mostly modifying how the debugging output is generated. You do need the changes to the read_table_A.pl file.
I have not tested the code that changes the HVAC mode, fan mode or setpoint temperatures. I used the HVAC module with my Aprilaire thermostats and a gateway that I wrote for them. It did help flesh out some bugs so it was a useful exercise. I have a ton of debugging enabled in my mh.private.ini which helped me figure lots of this out. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks Greg. It might take a few weeks till I can get round to looking at this end of my HVAC project. I am tempted to wait until you have done more testing?? Andy.
