Confirmed that it gets reported without a query. I did nudge it because I was sick of waiting, so here's what I did: Pulled the battery, waited 15 minutes and there was no activity, so I adjusted the temperature at the actual thermostat and this is what was reported (relevant line is 3 from the bottom):
Then I put the battery back in and again adjusted the temperature at the thermostat (5 lines from the bottom):
Thanks for your help - appreciate it. Sorry about wasting your time with the original "hold" issue, glad that was already in there in the other driver.
Does Lutron Telnet in Hubitat pick up EVERYTHING, or is the driver set to ignore certain commands?
Something is wonky, I just did the same thing with actions 7 and 1 and nothing showed in the logs. Wondering if something about me manually querying in a separate telnet doesn't show up in Hubitat logs.
Hi @bravenel (Bruce). Reviving a thread because I have a similar request. Non-urgent. Just had a furnace replaced with a 2-stage furnace and I'd like to monitor how often it is in stage 1 vs stage 2. If it's not already an attribute in the driver, could you add this?
I see that it has both set and get, so while I can't think of a time right this second that I'd want to force it into stage 1 vs stage 2, it'd be great if the action was added as well (and it would help with testing).
In general, it's not a good idea to be messing with the stages of cooling, so I'm disinclined to add commands to do this to a thermostat driver.
It is possible to do it however if you really insist, using a custom command from Rule Machine on the Lutron Telnet device. Or, you can do it by opening a telnet connection to the Main Repeater and giving it the command.
Format is shown in the Integration Protocol document:
#hvac,id,14,7 (replace id with the Lutron integration id of the thermostat)
7 would put it into Cool Stage 1 and 2. Etc. This isn't a good idea.
I have two stage furnace/air-conditioners with Lutron Thermostats. I find it a little interesting to see that callStatus.
