Extend the "When Open Window Detected" section with a "Turn Off Heating" option (no notification)
Dear Support,
My problem/suggestion is connected to the following thread: https://community.tp-link.com/en/smart-home/forum/topic/655324
I have more KE100 thermostates and several Tapo T1000 sensors. I would like to turn off my thermostates when the windows are open and turn on them after the windws are closed. Without any notification.
I tried to solve this problem with Smart Action but it is not fully possible just a really complicated way.
I try to describe.
I need a dedicated Smart Action for turn off and turn on (for all thermostate):
- Turn off the radiator action
When -> T110 sensor sends Open event
Then -> KE100 thermostate Off
2. Turn on the radiator action
When -> T110 sensor sends Close event
Then -> Set temerature to ... !! There is no option for just On the thermostate !!
A big problem, there is no Option for KE100 device to "just turn it ON", but we have turn it Off.
So we only solve this if we create a Group for a single device, because we can turn off and on a group easily in a smart action.
So if I want to solve to turn on my thermostate when the windows is closed I need this:
- Turn off the radiator action
When -> T110 sensor sends Open event
Then -> KE100 thermostate Off
2. Create a Group with one thermostate (If I could turn it ON in a smart action)
3. Turn on the radiator action
When -> T110 sensor sends Close event
Then -> Set the new Group (with one thermostate) "Turn On"
You can imagine If I had 4 rooms with 5 thermostate and 5 Tapo T110 device how many Groups and Smart Actions should be configured for reaching a silence (without notifications) sensor based thermostate on/off setup.
The "Open Window Detection" option is really cool and useful function in the KE100 settings just we need a silent mode for the "Turn Off Heating" option as well.
Best regards,
Gabor
