Controls
Description
Current temperature (Read Only)
Displays the real-time temperature reading from the configured temperature sensor.
Plant Humidity (Read Only)
Displays the value for monitoring the ambient humidity level in the conditioned space.
Plant Humidity is used to:
-
Provide environmental information along with temperature readings.
-
Support HVAC monitoring or automation scenarios if humidity control is required.
Plant On/Off
You can turn the AC plant ON or OFF.
-
When the plant is ON, all AC controls such as MODE, FAN SPEED, and SET POINT become active.
-
When the plant is OFF, you can still configure MODE, FAN SPEED, and SET POINT (pre-staging). The Air Conditioner will start with these configured settings when the plant is turned ON.
MODE
The operating modes displayed depend on the modes supported by the connected HVAC system and configured in the mode object. The Manager interface reads the mode object and displays the available modes exactly as defined in the configuration. The common available modes are listed below:
-
COOL
-
HEAT
-
VENT
-
DRY
-
AUTO
-
EXHAUST
-
PUMP
You can change the operation mode during normal operation or during pre-staging.
FAN SPEED
You can adjust the fan speed level supported by the AC unit.
The fan speed options displayed depend on the supported levels reported by the connected HVAC system and configured in the fan speed object. The Manager interface reads the fan speed object and displays the available levels exactly as defined in the configuration. Common fan speed levels include:
-
Low
-
Medium
-
High
-
Auto
-
Boost

Example – Pre-staging the AC Unit:
When you are about to arrive home, you can prepare the Air Conditioner in advance even if it is currently OFF. You can open the AC Unit Control widget, select COOL mode, set the temperature to 22 °C, and adjust the fan speed to HIGH. These settings are saved as pre-staged configurations and will be automatically applied when you turn the Air Conditioner ON, ensuring the room becomes comfortable quickly.
