Hey guys,

i'd like your opinion about a project i've been working on:

a Powerhome Thermostat for my central heating:

here is the SQL for testing the time:

Code:

insert into macroheader values ('THERMOSTAT-TIME','THERMOSTAT-TIME',0,0,1);
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TIME',1,38,'',NULL,'if( hour( now()) >= 23 or hour( now()) <= 5, 1, 999)',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TIME',2,26,'',NULL,'1',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TIME',3,1,'THERMOSTAT OFF',0,'',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TIME',4,39,'',NULL,'',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TIME',5,26,'',NULL,'999',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TIME',6,1,'THERMOSTAT-TEST',0,'',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TIME',7,39,'',NULL,'',0,'');


and here is the sql for testing the temperarures:

Code:

insert into macroheader values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST','THERMOSTAT-TEST',0,0,1);
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',1,36,'',NULL,'"{SENSOR1}"',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',2,27,'',NULL,'if({SENSOR1} > 2500,"OK","NEXT")',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',3,26,'',NULL,'OK',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',4,36,'',NULL,'"Inside Temp. Measures {SENSOR1}"',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',5,36,'',NULL,'"Shutting down Thermostat"',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',6,23,'K6',3,'',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',7,36,'',NULL,'"Thermostat switched off"',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',8,39,'',NULL,'',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',9,26,'',NULL,'NEXT',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',10,36,'',NULL,'"Inside Temp. Measures {SENSOR1}"',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',11,36,'',NULL,'"Outside Temp. Measures {CURTEMPA}"',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',12,27,'',NULL,'if ({CURTEMPA} < 10, "NEXT1", "NEXT2")',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',13,39,'',NULL,'',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',14,26,'',NULL,'NEXT1',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',15,23,'K6',2,'',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',16,36,'',NULL,'"Switching ON thermostat"',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',17,39,'',NULL,'',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',18,26,'',NULL,'NEXT2',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',19,27,'',NULL,'if({SENSOR1} > 2000,"OK","NEXT")',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',20,27,'',NULL,'if({SENSOR1} < 2000,"NEXT1","END")',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',21,26,'',NULL,'END',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',22,36,'',NULL,'"Temperature within specified parameters"',0,'');
insert into macrodetail values ('THERMOSTAT-TEST',23,39,'',NULL,'',0,'');


Some explanation:

- The GV {SENSOR1} is the Temparature in the house.
- The GV {CURTEMPA} is the outside temperature.

Basicly this consist of 4 macros:

Thermostat-time (the macro for checking time)
thermostat-test (the actual temperature checking)
Thermostat-on    (an On-Macro)
thermostat-off   (an Off-Macro)

The macro Thermostat-Time calls the other 3 macros when needed, so this will be run every 15 minutes.

Basicly in the thermostat-line a relay has been put in that cuts-off or connects the elektronic thermostat (already in use) to the heating-system...

What do you think of this?

Peter
