tado° Actions
CURRENTLY NOT WORKING! RULES CANNOT FIND ACTION CLASS
hvacChange
The binding ships with an action to define overrides.
It's ok to not provide all properties. The action then fills the missing pieces with reasonable defaults.
Entry point: org.openhab.binding.tado.TadoActions.hvacChange(thingRegistry, zoneThingName)
Methods:
| Name | Description | Operation |
|---|---|---|
followSchedule() |
Back to smart schedule | OperationMode := SCHEDULE |
activeForever() |
Active until cancelled manually | OperationMode := MANUAL |
activeUntilChange() |
Active until next schedule block is reached or home switches to AWAY mode. | OperationMode := UNTIL_CHANGE |
activeFor(minutes) |
Active for specified duration | OperationMode := TIMER and timerDuration := minutes |
withTemperature(degrees) |
Set target temperature | targetTemperature := degrees |
withHvacMode(mode) |
Sets HVAC mode to one of OFF, HEAT, COOL, DRY, FAN, AUTO |
HvacMode := mode |
withSwing(swingOn) |
Sets swing. true is swing ON, false is OFF |
swing := swingOn |
withFanSpeed(speed) |
Sets fan speed to one of AUTO, LOW, MIDDLE, HIGH |
fanspeed := speed |
apply() |
Applies the override. Has to be called last. Without it, nothing will be send to the tado° cloud. |
Example: Boot scene rule (full heat for 30 minutes), triggered by a switch item
import org.openhab.binding.tado.TadoActions
rule "Activate Heating Boost"
when
Item HeatingBoost received command ON
then
TadoActions.hvacChange(things, "tado:zone:demo:heating")
.activeFor(30)
.withHvacMode("HEAT")
.withTemperature(25)
.apply()
HeatingBoost.postUpdate(OFF)
end

The binding ships with a static method to create overrides from rules. But rules can't access the static method and they also don't know the return type
HvacChange.Some help from OpenHAB pros will be required to fix it.
