Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into the world of smart home automation, and I’ve got a fun project to share! My spouse and I have been having some playful debates about the thermostat settings, so I decided to tackle the issue head-on by calculating the ‘feels like’ temperature indoors.
Currently, I’m driving the thermostat setpoints based on dewpoint ranges, but converting these to ‘feels like’ temps would make the whole concept more relatable—especially for my spouse who’s not as into the technical side of things. I’ve been researching heat index and wind chill formulas, but I’m a bit stuck on how to apply these indoors since wind speed isn’t really a factor. Does anyone have experience with this or know of an app or rule that could help?
I stumbled upon some articles that mention heat index isn’t reliable below 80°F and wind chill above 50°F, which makes me wonder if this project is even feasible. But hey, that’s part of the fun—figuring it out along the way! I’d love to hear if anyone has tackled something similar or has any tips to get started. Let’s make this a family-friendly smart home solution!
