This custom component for Home Assistant will add crucial features to your climate-controlling TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valves) to save you the work of creating automations to make it smart. It combines a room-temperature sensor, window/door sensors, weather forecasts, or an ambient temperature probe to decide when it should call for heat and automatically calibrate your TRVs to fix the imprecise measurements taken in the radiator's vicinity.

Possibility to revert window sensor functionality #1452

Possibility to revert window sensor functionality

Description

Right now Better Thermostat works like that I can connect window sensor to thermostat. Thanks to that thermostat is stopping heating when window is opened (window sensor shows opened). I would like to revert this function - stopping heating when window sensor shows closed.

Why? I have one of the radiators in the closet and I don't want to have the heat on when the closet is closed. Instead, I want to turn on the heating when the closet is open.

You can do this very easily yourself by going to helpers and creating a template binary sensor reversing the sensor value of your cabinet.

It is better to keep the project simpler if the functionality can be done via helpers very easily.
