Control temperature based on sensors with TRV (Domoticz like smart thermostat)

[tvurce]

Hi, I have bunch of Danfoss LC-13s, latest stable Domoticz with ZWave controler and bunch of ESP32 sensors over house. Everything works fine - temp monitoring, direct valves (TRV) control, timers settings and so on. But:

I would like to use Domoticz as an smart thermostat. Driving TRVs with timers is good, but smart home should be more sofisticated

I would like to control TRVs upon temperatures from my sensors. And more then that - I would like to have not only automatic rules, but also manual - something like scenarios. Room temperatures based on manual selection...

Is Domoticz able to do that? I suposed Scenes will be what I need, but it seems not. Thanks for any hints.

You can start with this topic https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=ht ... are_type=t

thermostat for cooling and heating

I have recieved a pm witch turns valves open or closed. Still testing bit looks promising.

If you start scripting you can do whatever you can imagine
For example:
I have 6 virtual thermostats. All of them are easily controlled on my floorplan and all of them have a schedule. The schedule is different for at home, away or a sleep. When changing the temp on the floorplan the schedule is overruled for 4 hours.
The combination of virtual thermostats, room themperatures, outside themperature and the house state (home/away/sleep) decides which of the 3 electric heaters or the gas burner has to start.
The schedules are also interrupted when a window is open.
Schedules can be advanced as you like. I have one room with a bi-weekly schedule for my son, he's with me one week 2 days, the other week 5 days.
If there's a holiday or vacation I can easily override the schedules with Google Calendar.

So you see, a lot is possible. You just have to think about it.
Of course there are different ways of achieving this, I of course as the creator of pass2php use that for everything.

I am starting from zero. Trying this easy thing, but with no success:

1) defined virtual Selector switch for manual control
2) defined Event for this Selector

But when Selector switch is changed, nothing happens...
