Reading HVAC status #29

Closed Aqua1ung closed 10 months ago

Aqua1ung commented 4 years ago

I wonder if I should go to the trouble of building an Infinitive system if all I need is to read (and broadcast) the status of the furnace and/or AC, meaning "If (furnace heating) or (AC cooling) then output 1, otherwise output 0." All I intend to do is get IFTTT control my smart duct booster fan based on whether the AC or furnace is running or not.

In case you cannot suggest a simpler way, I am, of course, eager to build an Infinitive system, but I obviously need to know if Infinitive outputs what I need, i.e. the HVAC status.

Many thanks for the trouble.

I guess it depends on how you plan to "read" the status. This program makes things very easy if you want to use something like a raspberry pi and a serial to usb adapter.
