Support for modes #2

Is there a chance that you implement a way to change the mode of the thermostat?

Juerd commented 6 years ago

In theory, sure, but setting to "auto" mode is not very useful because this tool doesn't let you configure the timings in the devices.

Instead of using the automatic mode, I suggest keeping the mode at "manual", and using a crontab to configure your heating schedule. Instead of the vacation mode, just do a simple "max set all 15" to set the entire house to 15 degrees (don't forget to temporarily disable the crontab :D).

But if you'd like to submit a patch, I'll definitely consider it.

What about Boost?

Juerd commented 4 years ago

Boost could be implemented, but until then you can achieve the same by setting the temperature to a high value, waiting 5 minutes, and restoring the temperature to the old value.
