Breaking Change:

A rewrite as of version 1.1.0 to better handle both HVAC and heaters with other sources than electricity.

  • Changed "Command" name to either a "HVAC" or a "Heater". Now you can control Heaters without HVAC functionality or define HVAC enabled devices.
  • Indoor sensor temp changed from "indoor_temp" to "indoor_sensor_temp".

Changes to names to make code more readable

  • Away state is now configured with "vacation".
  • Vacation heating temperature is set to vacation_temp. When cooling the target indoor is set 3 degrees above normal target.
  • Indoor sensor temp changed from "indoor_temp" to "indoor_sensor_temp".

New functionality

  • Added the possibility to set indoor target temperature defined with 'target_indoor_input' from an input_number helper in Home Assistant insted of setting a 'target_indoor_temp'.
  • Use a window temperature sensor defined with 'window_sensor_temp' and use 'window_offset' as an offset from target indoor temperature. This is default to -3.
  • Define a json path to store fan mode and calculate the most used set temperature based on outdoor temperature and lux.

Deprecated

  • The list of outdoor temperatures with corresponding indoor and vacation temperatures is removed.
