Access to the schedules from outside the app

[Stubblemonster]

I am using this and it works well but my wife cannot understand the process for changing the schedules once set up and I have to agree there's a lot of steps. Can you consider making the ability to amend them via a Web page if possible. This way they can be integrated into a portal that can run on any device (I would be using node red). Or, making it possible to directly edit the schedules as devices in the Homey interface.

Thanks

As an idea: Why don't you make different plans and activate / deactivate them with flows?

Second: Have you seen the possibility to create virtual thermostats?

Hiya, using different plans would still be arbitrarily fixed whereas my wife feels she would like to change them on the fly.

Can a virtual thermostat be used to mirror / change the values in the heating plan schedule?

It's meant for changing it on the fly.

Hi,

Thanks, I understand that and indeed have implemented them. Perhaps I should close in saying my wife expects that there shouldn't need to be a manual on how to amend the schedules (forget o e off changes, they're covered), she hates the idea she has to ask me to do it but refuses to take the time to understand how to do it because it's not as simple as using a 7 day timer on the wall. She'll probably never need to but it's a problem nonetheless, I'm sure I am not the only person in the world with a wife like mine so I thought I would ask if there was an easier way to manage the schedules, preferably to expose them to a dashboard such as Node Red where I and any other with a fiercely independant partner can build the interface in such a way as to appease the thousands of different "what if" use cases flying round their head!

So, if you feel there's a way to achieve this and I include "well it'll cost you a couple of hundred for me to bother" in this then let me know, otherwise please feel free to close it off!

I understand 😂

There is a MQTT Hub available for Homey (named like that). Such, you can easily use Node Red. If you have a solution that shows how to optimize the current implementation - I'm very willing to learn.

Also, there is my.homey.app - a (nearly) complete web dashboard for Homey. But, it will always look like Homey 😅
