Domoticz (https://www.domoticz.com/) Plugin(https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Developing_a_Python_plugin#Devices) for enabling thermostat setting override
First attempt to describe the functionality: This plugin creates 1 virtual device, a switch When toggling the switch from OFF to ON, the following things happen:
- The Main Thermostat set-point is increased with 2 degrees (configurable)
- The Bath-Room Thermostat set-point is increased with 8 degrees (configurable)
- The timer starts a countdown (30 minutes)
- When the timer has elapsed, the Thermostats are restored to the stored setpoints (prior to increasing)
- Switch is switched back to OFF automatically
- System idles and awaits user interaction (Switch pressing)
- smarter and more efficient temperature behaviour;
- e.g.: if certain temperature in bath-room is maintained, stop the system (or pause) and keep an eye on it
- better tuning of the current temperature and set-point to determine more efficient Ovverride setpoint
- Better monitoring on actual temperatures, set-points (and outside themperature)
- include Outside temperature
- What if plugin is enabled twice, not restored? investigate!!
