I've been reading the forum but can't find anyone that has built a complete heating panel from scratch in NR. I'm going to move all my home heating from my Fibaro HC2 to Node RED and TBH I already have a plan on how to do it that will work fine. I recently built a panel to control my instant hot w…

Maybe of interest, we have an ongoing discussion regarding control of a gas heating system here: [image] Controlling a device based on 2 inputs General I amd trying to control a pump in the central heating system, based on the input of 2 thermostats. The pump needs to run…

[image] alex88: complete heating panel It rather depends on what you mean by that I think.

@Colin , here's the background.... I created this Node-RED panel using the dashboard nodes as an interface to the heating panel running from my Fibaro HC2. Within it I have added extra functionality that Fibaro does not offer out of the box e.g. schedule profiles (the section at the bottom), ability …

Some thoughts from a personal point of view: from ui point of view, I think having a full-fledged "engineering" ui is great when you use it yourself. But for all the other "normal" users, I would automate most of everything, keep what they can change & control at a minimum. I mean if you monitor r…

[image] alex88: The only thing my dad (for instance) would ever press is the override button for the zone he wants, so even though there is a lot going on in the screen it's pretty light touch to use once you get past the detail and it satisfies my requirement, which is one interface to control …

That looks beautiful... wow!! Yes,you are right on all fronts. Hence my thinking out loud about either using Alexa/Google to do overrides vs a mobile app. Despite all the effort to get heating right sometimes we just feel cold / not well and want it up for a few hours or vice-versa. So the questi…

[image] alex88: So the question, why build an whole house interface, mainly so I can keep an eye on it. When something goes wrong, I want it readily exposed. When I want to change something, I want to do it from a nice interface ... i've lived with my system being "hidden" away for too long. T…
