Feels Like Temperature? #161

Open DavidFW1960 opened 2 years ago

I wonder if you could add a feels like temperature to this. Would need to add windspeed of course....

Which feels like temperature index/formula were you looking for? I found a few, added them here: https://github.com/dolezsa/thermal_comfort/issues/171

The bio-indices in #171 don't include wind speed. I think a good feels like temperature should include wind speed. Same as with #2 we would need to include that as optional input sensor.

Cumulus uses different formulas depending on the temperature for the feel-like temperature: https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Feels_Like

We could probably start by adding the Wind chill index.
