[App v0.1.0] Heating Schedule - App can only me sideloaded (no SDK2 yet)
Heating Schedule for Homey
App Store: --GitHub: https://github.com/priknr1/priknr1.heatingschedule
Latest Version: v0.1.0
Now you can control your thermotats within the app by the zone they are attached to.
Because an app can't access zones & devices right now, the rest api with your bearer token will be used instead.
Don't forget to disable existing heating flows so they won't overwrite the schedule
Supported Cards
Trigger- Thermostat triggered
- when a schedule triggers an thermostat
- Thermostat updated
- when a schededule finally updates the temperature (within the wakeup interval)
- check if scheduler is enabled / disabled
- current zone's temperature is greater / less than
- enable / disable the heating schedule (e.g. for holidays, no members at home)
- update temperature of a zone (e.g. for leaving home, set temperature to 17°)
- trigger last schedule for a zone (e.g. for coming home, set temperatures to last scheduled settings)
ToDo
- Scheduling
- pre-configure scheduling for future date-ranges (e.g. for holidays or shift workers)
Changelog
- 0.1.0
- initial stable release
- verify bearer token after saving
- logging output added to app settings
- nest thermostat is working
- condition card: current zone's temperature is greater / less than X° (if available by device, the measured temperature will used, otherwise the target temperature)
- 0.0.3
- many bugfixes and improvements
- action card: update zone's temperature
- action card: trigger latest schedule for a zone
- condition card: is schedule enabled / disabled
- settings: show thermostats in the selected zone

(too bad I don't have a smart thermostat
Feature request. Holiday schedule maybee even with a date option you can schedule in the app
Great work
But glad you put the effort in it to build this. Thx!
I made an schedule and enabled it and what then?
Should it run by itself or should i make a flow to enable it?
Also does it 'only' change the temp on the set schedule or does it also change between times if it is enabled?
If it does only switch on the scheduled time this app is usefull if your thermostat had no schedule by itself, but when it has what is the benefit of this app?
@mruiter:
I will try to add an option where you can pre-configure specific date ranges with other schedulings (e.g. for holidays, shift working, etc).
@satbopper:
@jtebbens:
should work with your devices, too, as the driver's capability 'target_temperature' exists. But I don't have these devices to test them fully.
@B3rt:
When an schedule is enabled, it will be active immediately and run itself without any flows.
It does only update the temperature on the configured day / time from the specified zone in the schedule.
I just can explain from my use case:
I own 10 Danfoss LC13 thermostats which don't have an own scheduling app. And even if your thermostat have one, I think you can't combine it with homey totally!? Correct me, if I'm wrong.
Anyways I wanted a short way to schedule my thermostats in my zones (because in some zones I have 2 thermostats) and configure them for several days and daytimes. In addition to that, I wanted to combine the scheduling with flows so I can enable / disable the schedule when noboday is at home or somebody just went home simply.
When I tried to set all that by flow(s), I needed a bunch of them for just one thermostat which wasn't very comfortable.
In the next few weeks there will be more options, to...
... read the zone's temperature by flow
... set the zone's temperature by flow
... run the latest schedule again by flow (e.g. when somebody just went home / enters a gps zone)
... preconfigure schedulings for date ranges (e.g. for holidays, shift working)
Right now the app needs to become more stable (recieved some app crash reportings and a fix for that is already on it's way) and then I'll work on new features.
thx for the feedback.
I do not use any schedules (my thermostat does supports it), i let homey switch it on/off when someone is home or not, movement, going away, going to bed etc.
So i don't think i need it at the moment, but it is great it exist, i am sure other people use it as a scheduler!
Hope more of these usefull apps will become available in the future
Nice job!
It might be a bit confusing if you have just one zone with a thermostat attached.
I may change the app settings without selecting zones, if just one zone with thermostat is available.
Example:
Home
--> Groundfloor
---------> Livingroom
---------> Diningroom
---------> Bedroom
--> Roof
---------> Office
---------> Bathroom
1. You can schedule the zone "Home" which controls every thermostat in all zones.
2. You can schedule the zone "Roof" which controls every thermostats in the zones "Roof", "Office" & "Bathroom"
3. You can just schedule the zone "Office" which controls just the thermostat in this zone
So in my case, if I disable the schedule for "thuis" (wich is my whole house) and I enable the schedule for "woonkamer" (witch have the Toon) it should be working correctly right?
But in v0.0.1 is still a bug that might appear and results in an app crash on updating the temperature. A fix for that (and dutch translation) is already on its way and is just waiting for approval.
For a while is was thinking about a way to control the temperature in every room separately. I could not find a solution that works fine with me. I found the POPP Thermostat Valve, and I thought maybe this wil work. (This device can be connecting to the homey already). The only problem is how to get the signal to the central heating system I guess. Maybe that may work with your app.
On wednesday I can test a Nest thermostat of a friend, that don't seems to work also with this app. Maybe I find a solution for the Toon thermostat by that, too.

Also your flow card doesn't trigger on update and hence can't update the corresponding thermostat value the card holds.

Thanks for the information, I will test out some cases with your informations later.
The app doesn't detect temperature changes by other flows or the thermostat directly, it just updates the capability 'target_temperature' to the defined temperature on the scheduled day / daytime for all thermostat devices within the zone.
The 'Update' Flow Card is buggy in 0.0.1, fixed that in 0.0.2 already (still awaiting approval).
Your're right!
I just pushed a new update into github where this and other things are fixed. You may test this update version.
On wednesday evening I'll push the new version to the appstore, it should run more stable then for all thermostat devices with some new features.
Changelog (so far)
@erwinrensink: that should be the internal web-app of HomeWizard to confirm the temperature has been changed through the scheduler
