ZoneHVAC:FourPipeFanCoil Night Cycle Control?

Hello all -

I'm modeling zonal fan coil units (constant fan, variable flow) with a dedicated outside air system, and I was wondering if there is any way to get night cycle control?

I'm using the template objects, and there is no field for night cycle control. I can swap out the availabilitymanager:scheduled for an availabilitymanager:nightcycle in the DOAS airloop post-expansion, but it doesn't work.

I've also noticed that there is an additional field in the ZoneHVAC:FourPipeFanCoil that isn't typically there. It is a field that asks for an availability manager list. However, upon creating a list with the appropriate night cycle manager, still nothing. I thought maybe it was because it was using a fan:constantvolume and not a fan:onoff, but that didn't work either.

Is it possible, and if so, how? Thanks for your time and help!
