Virtual alike NEST Thermostat

Hi all,

I would like to share with you the project I did with Node-RED.

As I work with shifts and it was being a nightmare to setup my Thermostat every week, created virtual one with Node-RED to control my Heater from any device (PC/Mobile/Tablet). I always loved the control of NEST Thermostat, so I was able to gather and create my own solution thanks to the work done from another guys.

I published all the info related in Hackster.io. There you have the code too.

Hope you like it! :slight_smile:

Nice, thanks for sharing! I’ve just invested in the Draytek Wiser system myself with a whole bunch of TRV radiator controls.

One small improvement that I’d personally suggest. Ditch the DHT. Even the DHT22 is pretty poor at what it does. There was a time when prices meant that DHT’s were the only realistic game in town but that is no longer the case. You might look for ones based on the HTU21D, the HDC1080 or the BMP280 (or BME280 with pressure sensor). The 280’s are particularly well supported with libraries.

Also, you mention that Nest allows control from anywhere but your instructions are really only for when your browser is on the same network as the device. You might consider some information or at least pointers for people to think about how they could extent this and what the dangers are.

I can also recommend the SHT3xx from Sensirion, very accurate and modules are cheap from China.

Thank for your comments and suggestions!

Please note that did not put the specific instructions about how to connect from outside, but mentioned that you can do It taking advantage of ddns services or alike! Of course, I have secured my Node-RED installation as well!

Glad you like It! :wink:

Thanks for posting. I had fun messing around with it.
I live in Florida, no heating required :slight_smile:
I modified it for cooling via an A/C unit, added basic hysteresis, using Fahrenheit and added flow context for restoring the last sensor reading when hitting the page (no waiting for the next mqtt msg).

That ui template is awesome! 
and I thought I had complex templates.

Well done!

Here’s the flow:

Big thanks for the Restore current values when hitting page!!! It was one of the problems I wasn’t able to fix! Many thanks! Welldone! :slight_smile:

Nice tutorial write up!
Is the nodered flow based upon https://github.com/Paul-Reed/thermostat - originally written by Dal Hundal, or have you started with a blank sheet and written the flow from scratch?

Yes! It’s based on his work, that in turn was based on JS Code from another developer. You can find my mention (both of them) in the credits section! This is the why OpenSource projects are so cool! :blush: I mixed It to develop my own solution with the mqtt data from sensors :wink:

Yes .. big thanks to Paul .. we used the nr nest interface to control one of our wifi thermostats ..

iTXa_SP1a

and then connected to our ionware Orion IoT Cloud Platform via nr mqtt .. Click here

using the Orion Free Forever Plan .. Click here ..

The nr code and mqtt all come already installed and ready to go in the iBox micro ..

Simply Plug and Play! :slight_smile:

Hope This Helps

I cant even begin to thank you both enough.
I have been monitoring temperatures in 3 different buildings with graphs and a couple tasomta sonoff switches but was never able to get them to work together automatically until now.
I will share my version with one request, how to retain the desired temp in the flow.

Here I have a D1 mini with a relay shield and a ds1820b for the temperature I combined the desired temp and current temp graph so you can visualize the the difference.
I am not using the humidity at this time but I will in the summer for a dehumidifier.
Again many many thanks!

I will be using this in my garage and would like to add a timer to the nest, something simple like set to 65 and move a slider for 1 -5 hours before returning to away mode.
