I control my hot water from Vera via a thermostat device. For the hot water to be on, I have to set the thermostat to ‘Heat’. Now I would like to create a tasker task to have an action to when this happens. I have enabled autovera updates for the hot water device, but it is not working yet. I am not sure what to set autovera device kind to. So I had set it to Device Hot water, Service Fan operating mode, variable mode, New value heat. This is obviously not right. Any idea what kind of device and what service I have to specify ?
You tried a few options and just missed the correct service.
Your Status Update should look like this:
Vera: Your Vera
Device: Your Hot Water Heater
Service: User Operating Mode
Variable: Mode Status
New Value: HeatOn
That profile will catch only when your heater gets set to Heat, be sure you’ve enabled status updates for that device.
Thanks, this time I have already turned on the status updates… ;D
