This action will set the thermostat to occupied or unoccupied settings based on triggered events from the event provider’s scheduled events. This action will also automatically turn off schedules for occupied mode in the thermostat since any schedules will conflict with commands being sent via Events2HVAC. You may optionally re-enable schedule during unoccupied mode or keep them off.
This action applies to the following event triggers:
•EventStartStop
•EventSetupTeardown
•ZoneFirstLastEventStartStop
•ZoneFirstLastSetupTeardown
After adding a new action in equipment manager, select one of the triggering events, along with the “Pelican Wireless” interface, followed by the “SetThermostat” action.
Note: Only the event triggers shown can be used for SetThermostat action. The action won’t be available if other event triggers are selected here.
