  • set the operating mode, permanently or temporarily

Install

Prerequisites

You will need:

  • make 3.81 or higher
  • CMake 3.6 or higher
  • cURL

Installation

Installation of EvoTherm is easy:

$ git clone git@github.com:giannivh/EvoTherm.git
$ cd EvoTherm
$ cmake .
$ make
$ make install

If you get an error on make install, issue sudo make install.

Or, if you're on a mac:

$ brew install giannivh/tap/evotherm

Usage

Use evotherm --help to get all options.

Config

If you're running EvoTherm for the first time, you have to create a configuration file which contains your Honeywell My Total Connect Comfort credentials. You can do this manually, or let EvoTherm do it for you by issuing:

$ evotherm --config

And follow the on-screen instructions.

List

To list your zones, issue:

$ evotherm #(or evotherm --list)

Set target temperature

To set the target temperature of zones permanently, issue:

$ evotherm --zone "My Zone" --temp 21.5

To set the target temperature of zones temporarily, issue:

$ evotherm --zone "My Zone" --temp 21.5 --until "2016-10-17 22:30:00"

Please note that the until option only accepts format "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

To cancel a target temperature override, and to return to the normal schedule, issue:

$ evotherm --zone "My Zone" --cancel

You can also set multiple zones at once. Use a comma separated list for this. Example:

$ evotherm --zone "Zone1,Zone2,Zone3" --temp 16 --until "2016-10-19 23:00:00"

To change the mode of your thermostat permanently, issue:

Where --mode is one of the following:

  • auto: follow the normal schedule
  • eco: follow the eco schedule
  • away: follow the away schedule
  • dayoff: follow the weekend schedule
  • off: all heating off
  • custom: follow the custom schedule
