Relate coil name with respective room

Post by Sarah1234 »

Hi all,

I'm looking to create a python script that can relate the coil IDs to their respective room names/IDs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Bumping this because I'm looking to do the same thing, and more generally find relations between ApacheHVAC systems and rooms. The API documentaiton for coils is literally blank: https://help.iesve.com/ve2023/6_1_7_2_4 ... 3D&mw=MjQw

Hi,

VE API has "get_space_id(layer number)" method which can be used to extract space IDs of each multiplex layer. This can be easily used to extract room names using Body ID and name attributes or using body "get_general()" method. Layer number and coil IDs are already tied togeter.
