Thermostat Scheduler - New Option Req

[hubitrep]

@user920

three actions, one for each schedule, plus the set refresh for each might be a good work- around

Correct - making sure to select the Thermostat Scheduler by app name and not by thermostat.

@user920

why it picks the first one, rather than the active one?

I am not sure Rule Machine has any awareness of which Thermostat Scheduler instances are restricted, it would have to query the Schedulers (which ones?) to find out. Plus, in theory, nothing currently stops one from having more than one "active" Scheduler for a given thermostat, so this type of selection for Thermostat Scheduler actions remains, in my mind, ambiguous (and to be avoided IMHO).

@user920

the offset gets a little jumpy when setting it, another old bug

Consider another workaround: add an action (one per Thermostat Scheduler) to turn EcoMode OFF prior to setting the offset. Does that make the offset setting less "jumpy" ? (works for me).

@user920

Still hope for a better solution, or is this intended to track down the bug and produce a long-term fix?

I summarized the findings in a bug report here and tagged the support team for attention. I don't use EcoMode the way you do but I do use it as well as restrictions so I am exposed to these issues myself.
