Use OTGW with a virtual (software) thermostat via MQTT?
Posted: Sat Jan 27, 2024 10:21 pm
Hi -
Would it be possible to send "actual temp", "requested temp" sand possibly "outside temp" settings to my (SchelteBron) OTGW via MQTT, thus replacing a physical thermostat?
MQTT is connected properly. otmonitor works fine. OTGW running gateway v6.5. I do have an on/off thermostat connected to the OTGW but that results in massive overshoot of my room temperature. And as I have a room temperature sensor hooked up to my home automation, and a fixed desired temperature when someone is present in the home I would like to push all these values to the OTGW through software instead.
So my question is: is there a possibility to ignore (if necessary disconnect) the on/off thermostat and send message to OTGW using MQTT, telling it what my temperatures are?
Many thanks,
Ronald
