Porting of Keenect to Hubitat?

napalmcsr · April 7, 2019, 2:45am

You have to setup a virtual thermostat for setting the room set point for control type, or you can use relative to your nest set points.

For the fan running, I would bet you are using nst implementation, so the keenect master I created uses the habitat nest implementation that is not live anymore, so... the master code might need to be changed for fan only and maybe other modes.

napalmcsr · April 7, 2019, 2:46am

Logs of keenect master would be needed for figuring out the modes.

Ok thanks. Too bad. I wish I could get on the official implementation.

techbri · April 7, 2019, 4:19am

I may have figured out a workaround. I removed the thermostat from NST Manager and added it to Jason0x43's Nest Integration app. When I go into the KeenectMaster app and check current status, I see vent mode is FAN. That's a good sign right? I will keep playing with it.

Thanks again!

that Is a good thing. I used that implementation when I moved to hubitat.

techbri · April 7, 2019, 10:13pm

I still don't see vents moving but I can manually move them. Under configuration, zone control reports as not activated. Is there something I am missing?

napalmcsr · April 7, 2019, 10:16pm

Can I get some logs for the zone?

techbri · April 8, 2019, 1:23am

Sure. Where do I find the logs? If under the main log section in Hubitat, I am not sure how to parse them yet.

click on logs

Then you can select the app or device you want to look at

If I can get the NEST Thermostat, Keenect master, and keenect child log for 1 child, I can take a look. I think I had to make a small change to use the Hubitat driver for Nest, or I made a change to the Nest driver that you are using.

I forgot to also have you hit show past logs:

after you click on logs.

napalmcsr · April 10, 2019, 6:36pm

looking at the NEST implementation you have I might need to change that code a little to get The Fan state into the operating state. I coded keenect to use the virtual thermostat operating state to keep it easy.

Thanks for your replies. I am at a Google Cloud conference this week and they have been long days so i had to put hubitat aside for the moment, I will pull logs for you when I can. You mentioned that you set up Keenect to use the virtual thermostat. I still have not figured out how to setup virtual thermostats yet. Is there somewhere you can point me to look into it more?

Thanks!

napalmcsr · April 10, 2019, 8:12pm

My bad, I used the states Hubitat put into the Virtual Thermostat to be the same that Keenect looks for "Heat,Cool,Fan Only, etc" to control the vents. I noticed in the Nest Implementation you are using Fan Only is missing.

I use a virtual thermostat for heating and cooling setpoints only for each zone.

I will see if I can find some time to get the "old" Nest Implementation working again and make changes that should work for you...

napalmcsr · April 11, 2019, 4:47pm

I checked and Jason0x43 doesn't have the Fan mode supported. I am adding that to the code and will send after I verify it working.

This has a small change to make the Fan mode work. At least it does in my house Just replace the nest driver only from Jason's Nest Code.

Sorry for the slow reply. I was so tired from the conference last week that I replied in email vs coming here to reply. I loaded the code but have not had time to test much with it. Hopefully over the next couple of days or so. Thanks

No problem, 2 things: I switched to the nst integration app for long term, personally. And I refactored keenect to this Keenect Lite (Release)

It is a lot simpler in code and usage. You use your nest/household thermostat in the master, and create a virtual thermostat for each zone.

I will continue to support this version, but if there is any future development, I will do it in the lite version.

We had house guests for a few days but they left this morning so I can experiment again How do I create a virtual thermostat? I have motion/temp sensors but I am not sure how to make the temp sensory a virtual thermostat.

napalmcsr · April 25, 2019, 5:05pm

under devices, click add virtual device

then fill out the info: type is virtual thermostat

you are only using the thermostat for the setpoints for your vent, the temp sensor is your real sensor in the zone
