Go beyond rooms

[flatsiedatsie]

Currently this plugin is focussed on being a thermostat for houses. But a virtual PID temperature controller can be useful for a lot of things.

• Aquarium temperature
• Meat smoker
• Egg Incubator
• Beer brewing
• Ceramic and porselain art oven
• Reflow oven for electronics
• Pizza oven
• Etc

At the same time there are people who would like the have a very precise cooler instead of a heater.

• Smart Wine chiller / cellar
• Ice Cream maker
• Molecular cooking

So my question is: how could this plugin be made in such a way that it has different profiles?

• Room sized (slow, small changes over time)
• Box sized devices, like ovens (fast changing)

Currently the plugins has minimums like 60 minutes for the forced function, and 5 minutes for the learning function.

(Using the current thermostat should probably already be done with a relay that is somewhat smart itself. I've built such a relay for MySensors and will release that soon. It checks for a connection to Domoticz, has a maximum heater on duration, maximum temperature check, sensor failure, etc.)

I do like the beer brewing and wine cellar applications, but that being said, the plugin is aimed at bringing comfort to homes. I would assume most of the booze or similar applications can accomodate hyterisis thermostats ?

Unfortunately domotocz with SVT is very unstable, crashes rather often. Thermostat algorithm is very good, but platform is not production grade.
