Hi everyone, I’m facing a bit of a challenge with my smart home setup and I’m hoping you can help me out. I recently installed a Wyze thermostat along with a Homematic IP window contact sensor. The idea is pretty straightforward: when the window opens, the heating should turn off, and when it closes again, the heating should resume. However, I’m running into a problem where the thermostat doesn’t reset the temperature back to the desired level when the window closes. Instead, it stays at the lower temperature, which isn’t ideal for keeping my home comfortable.
Let me walk you through what I’ve done so far. I set up two rules in my system. The first rule is triggered when the window opens. It detects the change and immediately lowers the thermostat’s target temperature to 10°C. This part works perfectly, and the heating turns off as expected.
The second rule is meant to restore the heating when the window closes. It detects the window closing and should switch the thermostat back to its active profile, which includes the usual heating schedule. Unfortunately, instead of reverting to the scheduled temperature, the thermostat remains at 10°C, leaving my home colder than I’d like.
I’m wondering if there’s something I’m missing in how I’ve set up these rules. Maybe the way I’m referencing the thermostat’s settings isn’t quite right, or perhaps there’s a delay in how the system processes the commands. I’ve tried adjusting the order of operations and ensuring that the profiles are correctly configured, but the issue persists.
Has anyone else encountered a similar problem? I’m curious to know how others have successfully integrated window sensors with their smart thermostats to maintain a balance between energy efficiency and comfort. Any advice or tips you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
