Thermostat

[SCarns]

I like the idea of the Thermostat pane. I understand that the "setting" is not currently settable. I'm hoping to use this for various functions of temperature control. For example, on my last boat, I had a Wabasto heater with a typical household thermostat. My goal before I sold it was to replace that with a Shelly switch and program SK to use zones to turn it on and off. Now that there is a Thermostat pane, I'd do it a different way.

If the setting were adjustable, it'd be easy to control the Shelly with Node-Red and report back to the Status delta to update the Thermostat's state. There's a concern of it being too accurate, so adding in a simple delay delay into Node-Red would keep the shelly and the heating unit from cycling too much. Essentially the shelly would be used to close & open the relay currently controlled by the thermostat.

That's my idea. Obviously, you could expand it out to AC and refrigerating systems (including an internal fan with additional logic to help with circulation & defrosting).
