Is white the right color for these covers? Would black be better? That way it would match the thermostat. #Asthma#HomeAutomation #SCADA#HVAC#3Dprint#SmartHone#Zigbee#Tuya#HomeAssistant#Thermostat
🧵Gather round chat… did I ever tell you that the guy i bought this house from was evidently a GOD DAMNED LUNATIC? THIRTEEN THERMOSTATS!Thirteen!12 for heat, and one for air-conditioning. This does not bode well for asthmatic me. Let me explain. Air-conditioning lowers the temperature, ⬇️
⬆️yes, but, it also lowers the ABSOLUTE humidity. (Idk and IDC what it does to the *relative* humidity). This makes the waaaay easier for me to breathe.You see, high (absolute) humidity is my biggest asthma trigger. As far as my lungs are concerned, it's like breathing soup. Cooler air with less⬇️
⬆️moisture in it is way easier for me to breathe. Not to mention, cool air is less inflammatory. Also, I sometimes have hot flashes as a side effect of some of the 'roids they got me on, and heat is also an issue because I have P.O.T.S. So, when I'm having difficulty breathing AND my ⬇️
⬆️cardiovascular system decides it isn't going to pump enough blood into my brain, one of the many things I'm gonna do to get out of that crisis is lower the thermostat det temperature, and then immediately start a breathing treatment. When my lungs, heart, and veins are all taking five, me getting ⬇️
⬆️up and doing cardio isn't a good idea!!! Solution: Connect all of those 13 thermostats to a central controller. I should be able to hit one button or say one magic word and all of the heat thermostats turn to 0 and the air conditioning turns on. This way I'm getting the cooler air AND I'm also⬇️
⬆️NOT causing the cold air to trigger 10 baseboard heaters and 2 wall heaters to fight each other! I'm using a combination of apps and protocols and it's still a work in progress, but, for the 10 baseboard heat thermometers, I finally have finalized a solution! Kay 3D printed some thermostat cover⬇️
⬆️and I installed several MH1823D baseboard heat smart thermostats. They connect via Tuya/SmartLife into my Home Assistant instance and also into Google Assistant. I've got four more of those to go. Then phase 2 is for me to locate the smart thermostats I got for free like four or five years ago⬇️
⬆️ because it's one of the ones that replace normal thermostats, and it can control the air conditioning. Phase 3 is to figure out how I'm going to hack the wall heaters. They're basically space heaters built in to the wall. I guess I can set them for maximum heat, but run their power source ⬇️
⬆️ through more of those MH1823D thermostats, so that way the smart thermostat is what's deciding if the dumb wall heaters should turn on or not. Phase 4 is the final phase, and I do not know what that's going to entail. This phase is having an additional air conditioner installed. Maybe on of ⬇️
⬆️those fancy Mitsubishi wall air conditioners. This is because the previous owner had ZERO air conditioning in the basement, and, because this is a partially exposed basement (i.e. party basement) it gets up to 80°F/27°C in the summertime, so, especially for an asthmatic like me, that's unacceptble⬇️
⬆️not to mention my server equipment is down there. In the winter time, i only need heat for 8 or 10 weeks because leaving the server room door open heats the entire basement. So anyway, if I'm getting a fancy, futuristic Mitsubishi turbo air conditioner, I'm betting it's going to have the ability⬇️
⬆️to integrate into one of my remote control things. Zigbee? Tuya? Google? Home Assistant? Something else? Anyway, here's what the cute little thermostats look like with their cover. (is white the right color for these? would black be better?)🧵🔚
