Hi,
While most temperature control I use simply by using the builtin functions of my Honeywell zwave thermostat, one scene I was considering experimenting with was an outdoor weather sensor… that would allow me to open the windows and use a window fan instead of the AC or furnace.
Something along the lines of “Open the Windows instead!”
IF Outdoor temperature < 75F AND mode == COOL THEN mode = OFF
IF Outdoor temperature > 65F AND mode == HEAT THEN mode = OFF
BTW… If it is not possible to access the Wx data on the getvera homepage for my controller, does anyone have any recommendations for an outdoor temperature sensor? I need one that works in freezing weather and all humidity ranges. I would be installed in a screen porch, so won’t be directly in the elements, but definitely exposed to full range of temp/humidity… Will have access to AC outlet if needed (since battery performance in cold temperatures isnt very good)
