I am an avid user of your "Heizungsplaner" app for Homey Pro and appreciate its flexibility and user-friendliness. I would like to propose an additional feature that could make the app even more useful.
Currently, the app allows for the creation of heating plans with set target temperatures at specific times. However, this does not account for the warm-up time of various heating systems. For instance, my underfloor heating takes about two hours to reach the desired temperature. This means, if I set a target temperature of 20°C at 8:00 AM, it is only achieved by 10:00 AM.
My suggestion is the introduction of a time offset function for heating plans. Users could set an offset (e.g., -2 hours or -120 minutes) for their heating plans so that the heating system starts earlier to reach the desired temperature at the set time.
This feature would significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of heating plans, especially for systems with longer warm-up times. It would help users to plan their heating more efficiently and could contribute to saving energy by avoiding unnecessary heating.
I hope you will consider this suggestion and look forward to your feedback.
