Thermostat Sensor example

[faronov]

Hi
I'm very interesting about this project, it looks very promise.
I'm not a developer guru, but can read and modify some code :)
I'm looking how to write thermostat code, I understand how to read temperature sensor
But can't understand how to store HEATING_THRESHOLD_TEMPERATURE_C
and where it can be stored

Also in your demo, I see how to get state from a sensor when it requested,
but how to get state continuously?
Like get the temperature from a sensor, compare with stored HEATING_THRESHOLD_TEMPERATURE_C and turn on or off relay when it needed, without interacting with homekit?

I cannot answer your question, but on which hardware you are trying to implement the thermostat? Sonoff?

[faronov]

It can be Sonoff
but I have some devices with esp12 or esp7 modules
I made ESPurna-H board

P.S.
I also interesting to add power usage monitoring but it seems to look like power usage not supported homekit directly.
Only in custom profile with Elgato EVE application.
But this is another story :)
