Smart Fan Control: Temperature-Based Automation

I’ve been exploring ways to integrate my bedroom window fan into my smart home setup, and I’m curious if others have tackled a similar project. The idea is to control the fan based on both inside and outside temperatures. Here’s the basic logic I’m thinking of implementing:

IF (Inside temp > 65°F) THEN

  • IF (Inside temp > Outside temp) THEN
    • BedroomWindowFan = ON
  • ELSE
    • BedroomWindowFan = OFF

ELSE

  • BedroomWindowFan = OFF

This seems like it should be straightforward, but I’m wondering if there are any nuances or potential issues I might be missing. For example, how does the system handle rapid temperature changes or temporary fluctuations? I’d love to hear from anyone who has successfully implemented something similar or has tips for optimizing this setup!

I’m also curious about the hardware compatibility. Does anyone have experience using a smart fan with temperature sensors? Are there specific brands or models that work better together? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Let’s keep the conversation flowing! :sun_with_face:
