WINDOW SENSOR
After activating this feature the 1-bit object "Window sensor" is shown, with the aim to
be linked (via the same group address) to any binary input in the installation that
monitors whether a window has been opened in the air conditioned zone.
Figure 11.
Window Sensor
After activating this function, the "
Waiting Period
" parameter can be configured. It
shows the time interval (in seconds) that the window must remain open before the A/C
system switches off.
This way, once IRSC Plus receives through the "Window sensor" object the value "1"
(value associated to the "open window" event) it will wait for the configured waiting
period and then it will send a switch-off order to the A/C system. When the window is
closed again ("Window sensor"=0), the A/C system will be automatically switched on
–
it will not be necessary to send a switch-on order.
Note
:
during the “open window” state, the device will still accept requests from the bus
and update its objects according to them. Although the machine is off, as soon as it is
switched on again, IRSC will send it the proper commands to update its state as
corresponding. Because of this, in the particular case of receiving a switch-off order
while the window is open (therefore, being the machine already off), once the window
is closed again, IRSC will not make the A/C unit turn on again
– in such case, an
explicit ON order will be required. On the other hand, if IRSC receives an order to
switch it on again while the window is open (therefore, being the machine already off),
it will ignore the order and respond with the “off” value through the status object.
