Automating A/C

billclark

Hi,

I have a Tado device that controls my split a/c and heating unit. For a/c during the summer, I have not found the "smart schedule" offered by the Tado app to be useful. It doesn't work to have the changes happen at set times per day; they need to be based on inside and outside temperature.

I wrote an AWS lambda function that was doing exactly what I wanted. However, with the recent change to the way Tado authentication works, it would now be a lot of trouble and extra expense to support it.

What options are available to me? What I want is something like the following:

• If the outside temp goes above some threshold and the inside temp goes above some threshold and the a/c is off, turn on the a/c
• If the outside temp goes below some threshold and the a/c is on, turn off the a/c

Thanks for any pointers!

Bill
