Hi,
I control my air conditioning system via a Wifi IR bridge. In ioBroker, this bridge offers me two separate data points for power on and off.
I'm currently trying to control this via iQontrol and can't get it to work.
My approach was to create a custom boolean DP as a switch and assign the two DPs mentioned above to it via target-value-list:
- true => DP_Power_on: true
- false => DP_Power_off: true
This actually works, except that the value of my Switch_DP is unfortunately not changed when I trigger the switch in iQontrol. Only the target DPs are changed. The result is that I can only switch on or off permanently, depending on the original state of my DP :(
Is my approach valid in principle or are there other/better approaches? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to configure anything else besides the target-value-list? Should the original DP change at all when using the target-value-list?
Thanks for any help or suggestion!
