Dashboard Thermostat History Advice

🛎️ Get Help
1

I got a Honeywell T6 Pro and it works great. I replaced a Nest thermostat.
I have set a dashboard element 2x2 for temp control and it works very well.
I have been struggling for several days to get some sort of history for thermostatOperatingState.
Basically I want to know the past few events of when my thermostat changed states.
I tried making a graph, but it seems to require numbers....
So now I just want a 1x2 dashboard element that has the past 5 or so state changes.
I need the state and the date/time stamp.

Any advice for a direction to achieve this?

Thanks!

Have you looked at the “Events” tab on your “Device” screen? If you just want to see the data, that would be a good way to see it.

If you want to see the data in a dashboard, you could setup 10 hub variables, one set to store the time, the other to store the operating state. These variables could be added to a dashboard.

Then a Rule Machine rule could be setup to populate the variables:

Trigger: thermostatOperatingState changes
Action:
Set Date5Variable to Date4Variable
Set State5Variable to State4Variable
Set Date4Variable to Date3Variable
Set State4Variable to State3Variable
Set Date3Variable to Date2Variable
Set State3Variable to State2Variable
Set Date2Variable to Date1Variable
Set State2Variable to State1Variable
Set Date1Variable to %now%
Set State1Variable to thermostatOperatingState

Is the events tab able to be viewed in the iOS app?
Thanks for the suggestion via variables, I will try that and see how it works.

The target audience for this is my Wife (not technical) while using the iOS app. Having the history and the control in one spot would be ideal, however, somewhere else in the iOS app is fine too... I just can't find events in the iOS app.

On the thermostat tile, click the 3 dots and then in the upper corner click History.

This is really close. I have this working pretty well.
Only two things that are sticking out at me...

  1. The tiles are really big. I guess this is OK, but envisioned the text being smaller and in more of an excel format all on one tile. This one I can get used to though.

Edit - I have %now% %date% seeming working as expected now.

  1. %now% returns only the time. Is there somewhere I can get a list of built-in variables (like %now%)? My hope is to find a date equivalent for %now%

Can you share a screenshot of what you ended up with?

There are apps available that will combine data into a single button. I’m not sure however if any of them will support using variables…

Time/State is the start time of the current status.
As I scroll down, the date is going back in time.
Don't pay attention to the times as the screen shots were taken at different times...
I can tell that the AC seems to be cycling too quickly, so I am going to try to tame that with some controller logic.

I would try reducing the font size as a starting point - see if that helps:

Settings (gear icon) -> Font Size

Changing the font size makes the control tile look really weird.
I would love to be able to change the font sizes per tile. That would make all tiles (not just this Dashboard) look much better. As it is, I picked a font size of 32 as a balance of the control tile text looking too small and these log tiles text looking too big.

We have a chart to dashboard tile app... Is there not a table to dashboard tile app as well?

I’m quite sure there is, but haven’t been able to find it yet… And I’m not sure if it works with variables - I know it works with devices.

If you find it, please let me know. Thanks!
