The script requires the following objects in the domoticz:
- 1 x device to switch on / off (Central heating boiler)
- 2 x thermometers (Main and backup)
- 3 x selectors (Heating - working days with buttons for zone of hours exp: [5-22] or [5.30-22.30] or [5.30-7/14.00-22]
Heating - weekends with buttons for zone of hours exp: [5-22] or [5.30-22.30] or [5.30-7/14.00-22]
Working mode with buttons [AUTO],[MANUAL],[HOLIDAYS],[OFF]
- 4 x setpoints (Comfort temperature,Economic temperature,Temperature for manual mode,Temperature HOLIDAYS)
- 1 x text device (Current working status)
- 2 x user variables type:string (HeatStatement, HeatWorkCondition)

AUTO:
System checks the temperature, time and day of the week every 2 minutes and it compares the data it receives to all the selectors like “Heating- working days”, " Heating - weekends" and setpoints “Comfort temperature”, “Economic temperature” etc. Then it sets itself to either comfortable or reduced temperature.
MANUAL:
The system takes the temperature from „Temperature for manual mode” (Temperature for manual mode) as the comparative value and according to that it controls the heating in a way it keeps the same temperature all the time- any of the day time modes don’t matter at that point. At 11PM the mode changes to AUTO on it’s own.
HOLIDAYS
The system takes the temperature from „Temperature HOLIDAYS” [Temperature for the time when nobody is home for a longer time] as the comparative value and according to that it controls the heating in a way it keeps the same temperature all the time- any of the day time modes don’t matter at that point.
OFF:
The system does not control the temperatures or anything else.
Current system operation status:
Is displayed live in Domoticz, in “text” type of switch.
Let me add that in my living room there’s a tablet on the wall running ImperiHome, displaying all the switches that I explained earlier and it’s really easy to control all the settings from it.
Selectors
Hours are taken from the names of the buttons to operate the script. The hours must be separated by the "-" sign. There may be zones on the button separated by the '/' sign. All hours can contain minutes with separator '.'
Hide Off level in selectors is on TRUE.
Notifications
Notifications are sent on a pushover in default only NOTIFY_TIME = 'at 05:00-22:00'
You can easily change this in code.
