Zway-AdvancedThermostatDevice

This module combines an actor and a temperature sensor to form a thermostat. The actor will be turned on off depending on the temperature measured and a set-point defined by either a virtual thermostat provided in the config or alternatively created by this module.

Configuration

thermostat

Thermostat device for setpoints. If no device is provided, a virtual thermostat will be created.

switch

Thermostat switch to enable/disable operation. If no device is provided, a virtual switch will be created.

temperatureSensors

Multiple temperature sensors. The measurements will be weighted based on the last update timestamp.

windowSensors

Multiple binary sensors (such as window sensors) that temporarily disable thermostat operation.

mode

Operation mode: Heat or cool

hysteresis

Maximal delta between current and target temperature after which thermostat should turn on/off

unitTemperature

Temperature Unit: Metric or imperial

maxTime, pauseTime

Optional setting (in minutes) for maximum operation time and pauses between operation. If maximum operaton time was reached the switch will be turned off, regardless of the current temperature. Furthermore the switch will not be tuned on again before the minimum pause time has elapsed.

maxTemperature, minTemperature

Maximun and minimum temperature for thermostat widget.

Events

No events are emitted

Virtual Devices

Up to two virtual devices are created.

Installation

Make sure that the BaseModule is installed prior to installing this module ( https://github.com/maros/Zway-BaseModule )
