[Feature Request] Add windows Management

[Djal94]

Thanks for the work. Please could you add management for windows please. (Turn off when windows is open).

Thanks

[nagyrobi]

That can be easily done using automations in Home Assistant...

of course

@Djal94 if you mean window opening detection based on temperature drop, I'm not supporting such feature and no plan to support it. I tried it on connected thermostats from Netatmo and Tado, and it's not reliable at all. Such detection algorithm need very fast temperature drop to correctly detect that a window is opened. But this will depend on the indoor/outdoor temperature difference ; if the difference is too low, or if the drop rate is too slow due to external factors, the thermostat won't detect the window opening and just consider it needs to heat more. And as the algorithm takes several minutes to check the temperature behavior, while heating, the efficiency of the system is globally low.

I'm now using door/windows opening sensors instead, with an automation in HA to switch off my Netatmo thermostat/valve in the room if it's opened for more than 3 minutes. And the automation switches it back on when the window is closed for more than one minute. It's fast, it's reliable and efficient.

I could even add another automation to notify me and my wife if the heating is enabled (during winter) and the window in a room is left opened for more than 15 minutes.
