Hi all,
Recently got a window AC for my bedroom. It's presently using its automatic 'eco' mode, which seems to turn on around ~75 degrees F and off around ~72 degrees F.
This seems a touch excessive to me, as it seems to be on more than off.
I have the Thermal Comfort integration, which provides a range of different thermal indices.
Numeric indices: (dew point, frost point, absolute humidity, moist air enthalpy)
Bio indices: humidex, heat index.
Human perceived temperatures or “feels like temperatures”: dew point perception, humidex perception, relative strain perception, summer scharlau perception, summer simmer perception, thorms discomfort perception.
I have a broadlink IR blaster that I could toggle the AC on and off with.
Would automating off of one (or more) of these thermal indices be more optimal? Would there be a better way?
Here's a graph for some context:
Light blue: Bedroom humidex
Dark blue: Outside humidex
Red: Bedroom temp
Orange: Outside temp
Thanks so much!
I've got the same in my shop attached to an oil heater to remotely warm it up in winter
This one has two plugs which can be activated independently, is outdoor rated, and was able to be re-flashed with Tasmota. IIRC it was rated for 15A so should be able to handle an AC unit
What one are you using that is outdoor rated?
Weird, I thought I'd linked that:
