ramp-thermostat
A Node-RED contrib-node that emulates a thermostat.
The ramp-thermostat controls a heating-device such a valve depending on the actual input temperature and the target temperature.
The target temperature is defined by a profile that provides the value depending on the current time 00:00-24:00. The profile consists of several points whose connections build a sequence of lines. The switching moment can be optimized by defing a gradient line like a ramp.
The node provides 3 outputs:
- state (boolean)
- actual temperature
- target temperature
Installation
Change directory to your node red installation:
$ npm install node-red-contrib-ramp-thermostat
Configuration
Define a profile which consists of up to 10 Points. A Profile has at least 2 Points. The first Point must start at 00:00 and the last at 24:00. The target temperature is calculated depending on the actual time.
