    Default Comfort takes Control....

    I've finally got Comfort having full control of my heating/hotwater and the old programmer is redundant (I already had the option of comfort giving the occasional +1Hr boost)

    I thought the shortage of time programs was going to stop me but I've got round it using Counters and a single timer instead. So Comfort has :-

    Morning On/Off & Evening On/Off for both Heating & Hot Water. Seperate Settings for Weekdays and Weekends. Morning / Evening settings for either Hotwater or Heating can be enabled/disabled by setting Flags. Integrated with 1 Hour boost aswell.

    Becasue the settings are stored as counters - I can adjust them from HomeSeer. This is a manual process at the moment - but I'm working on a PHP page to control the settings via HomeSeer.

    Also means I can now graph the heating on/off status and overlay with temperature graphs - which so far tells me my thermostat is in the wrong room and I need more DS1820s

    Just Comfort controlling a couple of relays (http://www.eatworms/ha/heating.php). And yes I've thought about Zoning - but then stopped when I realised it involved some plumbing and The house isnt really big enough to warrant it.

    Any screenshots of your graph page? Pics of temp sensors etc?

    Thanks

    No pics of the temp sensor (its just a DS1820 sticking out the back of a PIR).

    This is typical of the graphs I can now create...


    When I've got everything working as I want I'll write it all up - as I will the graphing setup I have - which allows very quick and easy graphing of either the Value or Status of any HomeSeer device using rrdtool. The graph above is a composite of Homeseer device values for the Temperature (from my das3145 plug-in) and Comfort output status (from Patrick/Paul's HomeSeer plug-in)
