Hi, I'm trying to get this thermostat to work both day and night.

Right now the thermostat only works on the day not at night i want the thermostat to work both day and night.

I do not find much information about this thermostat unfortunately :(

In the info box at node-red they say the suncalc module and timing options as well as temperature input from one of 2 sensors to act as a thermostat

I do not really understand how they mean. I have a suncalc node and a dht22 but what timing opt do they mean? How should I use these nodes in a flow for it to work

Sorry is not good at this with node red trying as best i can. Is new with this so it can come a little strange questions: P

If i look in the thermostat node, I have set the node to start 20:00 and the disable 08:00 (European time) (Stockholm)

This is the same as start 8pm and the disable 8am

why do this not work ? please help :)

If you are talking about node-red-contrib-thermostat you might notice that it is an experimental node with no documentation. You could try contacting the node’s author.

Hi, I made the same experience last year, so I decided to implement a new node. Have a look here:

cant get the termostat to read med numbers in dbug window it says "msg.topic undefined" and if i try to whrite dht22 or payload or anything else in name or topic window it "invalide topic '

i do not understad how this node Works:(

how can i create a flow there the dht22 provides a payload number to te ramp thermostat ??

sorry for the bad english

my current flow is this

Take a look at the Documentation: "This node expects a numeric msg.payload containing the current temperature (number). The msg.topic should be empty or set to setCurrent".

Change your temp function:

msg.payload = parseFloat(msg.payload);
msg.topic = "setCurrent";
return msg;
