kerinin / arduino-thermostat Goto Github PK

I have a few projects going on atm (garage control and RF light switches).
After this I'd like to build my own thermostat ideally having the same features as tado.com thermostats.

This looks like a good base for what I'm planning to do and I'd like to share some ideas of how we can improve your version.

• Add IP! Nothing better then being able to control your thermostat from your PC/phone even when your not at home. Ethernet/Wifi shield required.
  This also allows you to use a time server to get current date/time.
• Add motion sensor (close proximity) show display only when you wave your hand in front of the thermostat.
• We could make this the open source tado/nest alternative!

Question:
In your readme you said "I'd like the temperatures to ramp from their current value to the target value over some time period based on the tuning parameters. This should reduce oscillation and overshoot."

• Isn't that the whole purpose of the PID controller?

O yes, and one last thing. batchpcb is no more, it has moved to OSH Park (http://batchpcb.oshpark.com/).

I found your thermostat intersting but i have a problem with the program...
I have a error on code : In file included from sketch.cpp:27:

and dont know what is the problem...

Hey,

I've been studying your code, and so far it looks super sweet. However, I noticed that the MenuBackend was a shortcut to a location on your computer...

Another user was having an issue, #2, and I feel that this is the reason why. Could you please upload it, or add a note accordingly?
