Request: door / window sensors #1

Open lpt2007 opened 2 years ago

lpt2007 commented 2 years ago

Do you plan to add door / window sensors?

kprestel commented 2 years ago

something like, if the door/window sensor is open then disable the climate?

Seems simple enough, I can add that.

Add this please:)

thx in advance

I'm working on this but I have one issue. I do not think I want this app to have the ability to turn off the climate, I would prefer to only allow this integration to set temperatures. I could effectively disable the thermostat that way.

I'm on the fence on how to implement this but I can tell you that I personally want this feature as well so I'm just trying to think through how to safely do this.

A middle ground maybe a timeout, basically the max time that the app will allow the climate to be turned off (assuming it turned it off). What do you think about that approach?

Sorry for delay.

Another question:

I have 2x climate (one in hallway and one in livingroom) and heating (valve for heating is on/off switch) with smart thermostats(thermostats can read current temp, and set desired temp) , whitch is in use only during winter season.

Heating must be priority in winter season and climate in the rest of season.

Can I combine them in your app? how?
