Enhancement ? Floor Temp driven

[IanAdd]

Is it possible to control the BHT-002GBLW, which has the floor temp sensor, so that it operates the relay operation based upon whether the floor temp has reached the target temperature ?

Hello,

yes, you can do it. check thermostat documentation:

gimtoji.pdf

Code 4.

Sorted, here is my solution.

Hello,

I use openhab, and I can implement the same. but still I assume it's easy to implement in next release.

Original Question how to enable external Sensor is answered.
Showing calculated action: idle state is handled also in #26

So i will close
