Stop a thermostat when a window is opened

Guest shared this idea 11 years ago
Under Consideration

It could be nice to improve the virtual thermostat in order to set-up a door sensor and stop the thermostat when the sensor is OPENED.


Thanks

Obviously it should start it when the window is CLOSED and only if the thermostat was ON before :) (to avoid starting a thermostat during summer)


I am speaking about the virtual thermostat !

there are sensors which has reversal TRUE/FALSE messages. Also, there is an issue about the set point (because of the freezing issue), and you need to setup delay (I don't want to open my window for a 15 seconds and turn off my heating on a ten minutes) and so on... This is why you should use rule creator and set all those parameters.

you are right, it is better to have a delay.

So you are not going to implement it on the virtual thermostat?

If not, do you have some example of rule? A template?...? Some suggestions, ideas to do something nice :) ?

Sebastian, what do you mean by "there are sensors which has reversal TRUE/FALSE messages"
