Is it possible to change the set temperature for only the heating or only the cooling, instead of having to always send both? For example, for my "Go to bed" profiles I'd want to turn the temperature down on the A/C at a set time, but I'd want the heat to stay up at the "awake" temperature until I actually get in bed. I know I can just send both temperatures in the example, but as I'm steadily adding more thermostat control scenes, I'm afraid they're going to start stepping on one another's toes (e.g. a time based event correctly sets the cool temp, and then an unrelated triggered event that's designed to set the heat sets a different cool point). I ran a scene last night with the cool left to the default value of "0" (when I add the thermostat to the scene the values default to cool: 0 heat: 255), and instead of skipping setting a cool temperature, it instead appears to have turned my furnace off.
Set only Heating OR Cooling temperature, not both?

Just starting to play with this myself. But I am wondering "Heat 255"?
for my thermostat (2Gig CT100) (Using Celcius). I would set the "Heat" to a "Celcius" number that is the actual temperature I am looking for. I.E. around "17" at night and "21" during the day. If I were using Farehnheit I would be using "63" and "69" respectively. I am not sure why you would be setting it to "255".
As far as the "Cool" setting. I just set it to something higher than it is likely to get i.e. "30" (C) / "86" (F) (in my area. higher if your area is hotter than that and you don't want this entry to affect the Air Confitioner).
As long as your cool setting is something higher than what the temperature might go up to then it will not come into play.
Hope that helps.
