Hi Community,
right now i am testing to install an heater control for the whole house. While i am doing some evaluation - dry run. I had the following effect when steering the valves of the Wallheaters.
In the first version i implemented an logic like - if temp goes below point then valve on - to haet and so on. Works fine but.

if the incoming temp is like 0.1 degress changing the valve goes on and then off / on /off /off so it flaps for measuring tolerance.

The Idea was now to say - lets check the temp over a period of time like 2 minutes and if the temp continuously stays below.... then set a switch so that the heating valve will get on.

The question is now - Is there a simple way in domoticz to measure a value over a period of time like in that graphical stats shown. There must be some access to this data? or just measuring - maybe an lua script may do something.

Thank You - for ideas

You can add a HYSTERESIS to you code. By doing that the difference between the setpoint and the actual switch moment will be a bit more (depending on the value you add).

An example:

in the top of your dzvents code:

Code: Select all

local HYSTERESIS = 0.2 -- temp has to drop this value below setpoint before boiler is on again

At the calculation:

Code: Select all

  domoticz.devices('Woonkamer temp').temperature < (domoticz.devices('Woonkamer thermostaat').setPoint - HYSTERESIS)

I think you can also do this in blocky but I did not try.

I used the same mechanism in my multizone heating system see:

Hi, thanks for the reply.
menawhile i developed some ruby scripts which i run as cronjob every 5 minutes.
I share the code here all comments are german- but it is very simple and therfore self explaining.
the point ist that the domoticz db is getting updated every 5 mins. so i have no flapping in temperature.
I have a script for each room. And so i test now the relais and all that stuff

Code: Select all

require 'json'
require 'net/http'
require 'net/https'
