The attic fans are what I said pull the air from your soffet vents, and the whole house fans helping fuel a fire is where I referred to the fact that A) most are not controlled by a thermostat like attic fans are, and B) if it does turn on due to heat but you have no windows or doors open, then it cannot pull as much air as it would normally and so the impact on a fire already started is mitigated some. I don't know where you got the impression that I did do that. Quote:Originally posted by Rick Tinker (HomeSeer Tech): Is there a reason why others are automating them? So I really do not see a reason to automate them any further. All of mine have thermostats on them and they are set somewhere between 100 ☏ and 110☏. I have to replace at least one a year here. When they do "die" they normally simply quit. I have 4 and they run non stop from about 9 in the morning to about 9 at night. Easy to turn on/off via the homeautomation. The other reason as I suggested in a previous response is that I can use them as a whole house fan just by opening the Attic door at night when the temperature outside has dropped but inside is still hot. So I turned off the thermostats and have them on all the time and I control the power via X10 appliance module. I have three installed and they all have separate thermostat and so they would all come on at different times. The reason I automated mine is that I wanted to maximize turning on all the power vents at once. The increased air flow can lead to much more rapid spread of the fire. For example, if there is a fire, the temperature rises and your fan turns on. I had heard that such attic vents were not allowed by most housing codes due to fire issues. Another side benifit is they work as a whole house fan by just opening the attic door I get to cool down the house at night just using the Fans instead of AC. So far with the few hot days we have had since the fans were installed it has definitely help with cooling the upstairs when running the AC.
The attic would always be 40 - 50 degrees higher then the outside temp and it should not be more then 10 degrees. The problem I was having is that the 2nd floor, the central air would run continously and would not cool the upstairs down very well. They were closed for the evening so I'll have to wait till tomorrow for an answer. I called them since reading your post to ask them about this.

I had a local roofing company install them while putting on a new roof. If someone could offer some advice it would be appreciated.

Not sure I really understand how to use variables. When I run the script the Log file reports the Outside_Temp as "Name not found". When less then 90 and the attic temperature minus the outside temperature is less then or equal to 12 degrees turn the fans off. When the attic temp is greater then or equal to 90 degrees turn on the fans. I have an attic temp sensor which I have defined as a virtual device. The script is used to turn on or off the power vent fans in my attic. Hs.WriteLog "Outside Temp Message", " Outside Temp = " & Outside_Temp Hs.WriteLog "Attic Temp Message", " Attic_Temp = " & Attic_Temp
Hs.WriteLog "Attic Temp Message", "= START OF MESSAGE =" If (Attic_Temp - Outside_Temp) <= 12 then Outside_Temp = hs.GetVar("Outside Temperature") In my case the variable is generated by the VWS plugin and I would like to use it in my script below. My understanding in Homeseer that variables are global and after they are created they can be used by any other script.
The Outside Temperature is defined as a variable. I am using the VWS plugin to generate the Outside Temperature which I am trying to use in my script. I am fairly new to scripting and not sure if I am using variables correctly in my script.
