Thanks again for the clarification. I will start with en EnergyPlus measure and maybe try a recompilation when I habe some more time for "experiments".

As a follow up of this (https://unmethours.com/question/23088...) I created an OpenStudio measure to change the ShadingControlType to one of the "unsupported" values like OnIfHighZoneAirTemperature.

The measure let me choose out of the existing ShadingControlobjects, a new ShadingControlType (String) and a new setpoint. The measure basically works when I choose a supported control type, but I can not choose one of the unsupported values. OpenStudio always resets this to OnIfHighSolarOnWindows.

Is there an implicit input validation in the OpenStudio sources?

I had a look at ShadingControl.cpp and the developer documentation.
Would it be sufficient to patch the OpenStudio.idd to contain the necessary keywords and rebuild OpenStudio?

Or should I go for a EnergyPlus measure to change the control type strategy?

I can share my measure if it would be helpful.

Thanks for the advice. Since I used version 1.14.0 of the plugin, I could not see the additional inputs. With 2.0.3 installed, I can now see the inputs in your screenshots. I will now dig into the measure system to change the shading control strategy.

I am starting with OpenStudio and currently I am struggling with shading devices and especially with the ShadingControl object. I have searched the web and UnmetHours but could not find a solution to my problem.

When I follow the tutorial on Shading Controls (http://nrel.github.io/OpenStudio-user...), I can choose OnIfHighSolarOnWindows for the shading control type, but I can not enter the setpoint for the solar irradiation which activates the shading device.

Am I missing something here?

I am using OpenStudio 1.14.0.

Actually I would like to use the other possible shading contol types offered by EnergyPlus, but as I learned from different posts here on UnmetHours, that has to probably be achieved by a UserScript or a measure.
