Thermostat driver


Recommended Posts

I’ve used various thermostat drivers over the years to display temperatures from different sources and to display other variables in the UI.  I now have a use case where I would like to programmatically set the heat state without basing this on temperature and using the heat set points.  Is there a driver out there that can do this?

The reason I want to do this is that I have a water based underfloor heating system and I measure the temperature going into the system via a card access thermostat and I currently display the temperature in the UI using the Yatun temperature display driver (using programming to get the temperature in to the driver).  I have always thought it would be nice to display whether the underfloor heating circulation pump is running via the state of the temperature display driver but have never got round to looking for one that does this and have settled for a separate experience button driver to show whether this pump is running.

However, I have recently installed the Janus Technolgies BMS driver which allows one to graph thermostat driver variables over time (including the temperature and the HVAC state).  So now I would love to use the state to show whether or not the pump was on as this helps one interpret the temperature readings (a low value when the pump is not running is normal but a low value when the pump is running implies a problem - e.g. weather is too cold, system is under spec’d, heat pumps are not performing as they should etc.).
