Hi all,

I'm working to add AirTerminal:SingleDuct:SeriesPIU:Reheat to my workflow and am running into an issue with the "Secondary Air Inlet Node" parameter remaining blank even when adding a zone to its respective demand side branch when using the OpenStudio SDK (2.9.1).

My workflow has been the following for adding zones. I first create the supply side of the AirLoopHVAC and assign the air terminal I want in the supply side. From the GUI's perspective, this is how it would look when adding aAirTerminal:SingleDuct:SeriesPIU:Reheat:

Airloop without zone

However, even after adding a zone to this airloop's demand side using

airloop_hvac.multiAddBranchForZone(zone)

this AirTerminal:SingleDuct:SeriesPIU:Reheat's "Secondary Air Inlet Node" is still blank. Interestingly enough though, if I make this a multizone system, and add another zone to using the same airloop_hvac.multiAddBranchForZone(zone) call, this second terminal DOES have a populated "Secondary Air Inlet Node" (it's the zone's return air node).

The main questions to answer are:

Is there a way to manually set the "Secondary Air Inlet Node" for an AirTerminal:SingleDuct:SeriesPIU:Reheat object?
If not, is this implementation for adding zones to terminals on the demand side of an air loop incorrect or bad practice?
