Thermostat function as plugin!?

[Ricard1]

Hi,

I have separate Temp sensors in my house 10 heating zones to control each room separate floor heating. Each zone heating is controlled ON/OFF by Ethernet relays and those is available as switches in Domotics.

So, I created Virtual "Thermostat" devices for each Rooms temp set-point, i.e. set to 22.0 Celsius.

The room heating is now controlled by simple function I made in Blockly, one for each room. It works ok like that...

However, the quite limited Blockly method makes my UI have many separate/unwanted objects... one device showing the temp, one for the set-point and a third switch device showing heating state. This times 10 heating zones...

Can someone tell me how to create a virtual Thermostat/Device including all three data; Actual Temperature, Set-point value and Heating is ON or OFF ?

Best thing(?) would be if there was a "Thermostat control Function" (not only set-point) as a device in Hardware tab, also including drop down list to select which Temp sensor to use with which heat on/off switch and even set the set-point to on/off hysteresis.

Anyone with inputs here?

Thanks!

You may want to look at the Smart Virtual Thermostat plugin that I wrote: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Plugins/S ... ostat.html

May be it fits your need ? There is also a forum thread for it.

Hi @Logeread,

Thanks a lot will check it out, I am on Windows and successfully running Python and tested some other plugins, some works some not.

I will search the forum for more info on your SVT development, very interesting!

I think there is no such device.
But if you use floor plans, you can see all values in one place simply clicking on room name.

Plus, any devices you don't need to show in the user interface you can assign to the pre-defined room "$Hidden Devices" to make them not show up in any of domoticz screens. In other words, they will be defined and still have their values and functionality for your scripts, but you don't see them in your domoticz's switches, temperature, etc tabs.
