Ideas for thermostat - Githubissues

annuncimarco commented 9 years ago

Hi Genie, some ideas for thermostat:

add a range temperature, near set point with step of 0.25 or 0.5 degree for not start and stop the boiler every 5 minutes, when the temperature changed fast, for example open a window. Example: range from 20.5 to 22.5, heating to 22.5 then "PendingHeat", when the temperature go down to 20.5, start again to heating to 22.5 then "PendingHeat"
add icon like "user" or "away", integrated with PIR sensor, when people are out, after time "X", change the boiler in OFF state or awaiting of new state like start again to hour "X"
add an icon "program" with a simple day/week selection, possibility to change temperature every 1/2 hours, copy and paste day program or possibility to select multiple day when the program is the same every day

thank Marco

P.S: next week I hope to start to use the APP for thermostat in my home, when I wired all temperature sensors in the rooms and connect the relay to boiler :)

thanks for suggestions I will be working on these enhancement within the next week. the "program" feature will require more thinking and time to be developer as I would like to create a generic reusable scheduler interface.

I published a new version of the app here: http://www.homegenie.it/forum/index.php?topic=458.msg2753#msg2753 this version wait 5 minutes after the setpoint is reached, before switching back to Heating if the temperature goes down. Can this be ok? Or you think it's better to observe the temperature change itself as you said, instead of the time elapsed? Perhaps a real testing will help more undestanding what's better =)
