Axlink Levels; Weather Duet Module - AMX ENV-VST-C Instruction Manual

AxLink Levels

Each AxLink device contains 8 levels numbered 1-8. Levels are a means of applying a value to a physical element on the device.
When a device is online for the first time, the Master assumes the device is at the default level status with all levels set to 0.
However, the thermostat may not be in this default state and needs to tell the Master the value of any non-zero level. After a
'LEVON' command is received from the Master, the thermostat sends a level update for any levels that are non-zero.
If the level represents a temperature, then the level value is equivalent to the degree reading plus 120. The temperature reading is
reported in the set temperature scale, F or C. For example, if the temperature scale is F and the temperature reading is -10 then the
level value would be 110. If the temperature scale is C and the temperature reading is 25 then the level value would be 145.
If the level represents a humidity reading, then the level value is equivalent to the humidity reading. The valid range of a level
associated with a humidity reading is 0-100. Therefore, levels with values between 0-100 are valid representing humidity readings
of 0% to 100%, and level values from 101-255 are invalid.
In the Level table below, the Type column denotes who initiates the level change. The Master directs the thermostat to change its
state through Level of type CMD. The thermostat informs the Master of state changes through Levels of type FDBK.

Weather Duet Module

A weather Duet Module communicates with the AMX i!-Weather internet service to gather the current forecast. The Duet Module
retrieves current weather conditions and forecasts from the AMX i!-Weather service and displays the current weather information
on the thermostat.
With each thermostat, you receive a certificate for a three-year subscription to the i!-Weather service. While you receive one
subscription service per thermostat, you only need to use one subscription per Master, even if you have multiple thermostats
connected to the Master.
NOTE: Subscriptions are not stackable. If you are using multiple thermostats on a single Master, you cannot use the subscription on
one of the additional thermostats once the subscription on the f irst thermostat expires.
Follow these steps to download, install, and configure the Weather Duet Module.
NOTE: If you use static IP addressing for your master, you must supply an address for a DNS server for i!-Weather to be able to
contact the AMX weather server.
1. Open a web browser, and access the InConcert
2. Locate the i!-Weather Duet Module and download the AMX_iWeather_Comm_dr1_0_0.jar file (FIG. 50).

the degree reading plus 120.
Outdoor Temperature The current outdoor temperature reading from the Master or an outdoor sensor
connected to the thermostat. Level value is equivalent to the degree reading plus
120.
Barometric Pressure The current outdoor barometric pressure reading from the Master. Value is in inches
or centimeters, depending on temperature scale.
High Forecast Temperature The current high temperature forecast from the Master. Level value is equivalent to
the degree reading plus 120.
