I’d love to see your implementation specs, code, pr any other technical details you’d like to share. I’m setting up home assistant and one of the things I want it to do is replace the functions of my thermostat and add some additional details.
I used to have a Nest Thermostat, but my furnace needed to be replaced a couple of months back and I got a Mitsubishi heat pump, but their thermostat sucks, and it isnt compatible with Nest because it’s all wireless. I installed the WiFi add-on to the furnace so I can use the app, too, but it also sucks pretty bad. Plus I miss the functionality of it turning down the heat when I’m away to save money and turning it back on before I get home.
So I’m planning to implement my own solution and documenting and open sourcing everything. But it’s going to be several months before I get to doing it due to other more urgent projects. So, I’m looking at everything available. I definitely will be setting up a small display to replace the thermostat and having motion detectors to turn on the display when you approach it to see the temperature and such and to supplement the home/away detection.
Anyway, I would love to see your implementation to see how you did this piece of it.
