Where I’m at, the temps flip-flop day to day, even hour to hour. In the morning it’s 35° outside, and by evening it’s 79°. I gave up keeping up with the temps and shut my unit off for the time being.
My question is why can’t HVAC units be programmed to say that if the outside temp reaches n° and the inside temp reaches m° cold, turn on the heat; conversely, if the outside temp rises to n° and the inside temp reaches m°, then turn on the AC?
My thermostat already knows the outside and inside temp, but I still have to manually switch it back and forth. I want a system that I can just set it and forget it all year round.
Yes, this entire post is in search of a thermostat and it’s hilarious. Bizzaro.
There are experiencing hysteresis!
Mine is amazing, I set it and no matter what the temperature is outside it stays the same inside!
When you have poor insulation then the colder it gets the higher you want to set your thermostat because the indoor temperature reading won’t be as accurate since your exterior walls are leaking.
Additionally, we like to open our doors when it’s warm enough outside but also sometimes when it’s freezing cold. Using inputs from the door sensors, outdoor temperature and indoor temperature I can automate fans and switching off heaters.
Love that all you random fucks assume I’m a moron, thanks for that. Can’t get enough of the dumbass hivemind logic on Lemmy.
Just having some fun, try it.
