Blockly and user variables for basic heater

[alarm_guy1]

Hi guys

I have a blockly that basically is
If garage temp is <15 then turn on switch 2
and if garage temp is greater than 16 turn off switch 2

This keeps the shed ticking over nicely, but if the shed is occupied for an extended period and I want to increase the temperature to say 20

Could I use a user variable to easily change the temperature elsewhere so I or others dont have to go messing in the blockly, it could be as simple as a retractive switch that overides the current temp for 1hr say or a section on the switches screen or temperature screen you just edit

cheers

Ofcourse, most easy is an extra switch named e.g. Occupied

You blockly will something be like:

If garage temp is <15 then turn on switch2
else if garage temp is > 16 and switch Occupied is off then turn off switch2
else if garage temp is > 20 and switch Occupied is on then turn off switch 2

in the settings of the switch there's an option to turn in off after an hour (named turn on for an hour)
