Draft Dodger

We're excited to announce the latest update to our Smart Autotune Thermostat (SAT) integration, introducing two new features that further enhance your home's heating control.

Firstly, we're now supporting switches. The PID Thermostat with PWM ( ON/OFF ) option is a new addition that allows SAT to control a switch in your home automation system, rather than using OpenTherm to control your boiler. This feature still uses SAT's efficient PID controller and heating curve to achieve optimal energy efficiency.

Secondly, we've added support for contact sensors. When a window or door is opened for a period of time, SAT will detect this and automatically switch to the activity preset, which is set to 10 degrees by default. This ensures that energy is not wasted by heating the outside.

We've named this update "Draft Dodger", as it allows SAT to keep an eye on your home's windows and doors to maintain optimal heating control.

Thank you for choosing SAT!
