Work In Progress

[Baldhor]

This app is currently an empty project ... implementation didn't even started yet!

Why yet another Heating Manager application for homey ?

Because the existing app just doesn't work out the way I expect ...

1. I'm using wired heaters, they turn off automatically after 6 minutes if they don't receive a new command => need redo/resend function
2. I would like to be able to switch between winter, automn, summer, ... whatever else settings easily
3. I want heaters to turn off not only because the windows are open in the room, but also because the connected room windows are opened
4. ... and so on

Todo list:

• [ ] App configuration screens to :
  • [ ] Define user named temperature (unfreeze, cold, warm, ...), including default settings (up to 8)
  • [ ] Define area (kitchen, 1st Floor, ...)
  • [ ] Associate rooms to an area
  • [ ] Define temperature setting (bedroom summer, bedroom winter, ...)
  • [ ] Set default redo delay
  • [ ] Set default temperature unchanged security delay
  • [ ] Set max power usage
  • [ ] Set priority device (order all heating devices by priority)
• [ ] Area device :
  • [ ] Allow to override temporarily the target temperature : through user named temperature or wheel
  • [ ] Allow to change active state (on/off)
  • [ ] Configuration screen to :
    • [ ] modify this area settings (shortcut to app settings but limited to this area), including rooms associated
    • [ ] Set redo delay
    • [ ] Set temperature unchanged security delay
  • [ ] Includes flow cards to switch active state and temperature setting (summer, winter, ...)
  • [ ] Includes flow cards to add/delete rooms from an area
• [ ] Thermostat device :
  • [ ] Retrieve target temperature from assigned area active setting
  • [ ] Retrieve current temperature from the room sensors
  • [ ] Includes flow cards to switch thermostat state (on/off)
  • [ ] Turn on / off heaters
  • [ ] Configuration screen to :
    • [ ] Exclude sensors (temperature / door / window) or heaters
    • [ ] Set redo delay
    • [ ] Set temperature unchanged security delay
• [ ] Virtual Door Sensor :
  • [ ] Allow to "duplicate" a door sensor from another room (handy for internal doors)
  • Remark : Other virtual device (from other app) can be used instead
• [ ] Connected Room Sensor :
  • [ ] Allow to "duplicate" the state of a connected room (can be chained)
  • [ ] Allow to configure a list of "internal doors" to exclude dynamically the connected room
  • [ ] Avoid inifite loop related to chained rooms :)

Technical background:

• [x] github
• [x] dependabot
• [ ] logger
• [ ] console.re
• [ ] app icon / images
• [ ] Homey community thread
• [ ] wiki
• [ ] publish requirements review

As a functionnality, the manager will ensure that the power usage is not more than the configured limit. It require to configure the power of each device. Devices without power usage can be excluded or not from the limit (unsure how to name the 2 choices).

The idea here is to limit the power usage at every instant, so I don't need anymore to subscribe 24kVA from the power provider :)
