Zone Schedule with Coop Start
PiHome Smart Heating - Zone with Coop Start
Once more fantastic improvement to PiHome Smart Heating with Coop Start option.
Coop start schedule won't start zone heating if boiler is not already running. If boiler is running and temperature is below set-point minus deadband schedule will start the zone heating.
after starting it operates as any other schedule and will stop the zone when setpoint temperature is reached.
Option for zone schedule with coop start. Coop start schedule won't start zone heating if boiler is not already running. If boiler is running and temperature is below setpoint minus deadband schedule will start the zone heating.
Once started it continues to operates as any other schedule and will stop the zone when setpoint temperature is reached.

#32 - Zone shedule with conditional/coop start
Holiday Mode
PiHome Smart Heating - Holiday Mode
Great improvement for PiHome Smart Heating with Holiday mode your can pause your heating schedule while you are away on holidays.
You can set your Smart Heating in holidays mode by selecting departure date & time and return date and time. During your holidays your heating will stay off and resume its normal operation after your rerun date and time so you never have to return to cold home from your holidays.
During your holidays time system function as normal but pause all your schedule and records all the temperature and protect your home from frost.
Temperature Deadband
Deadband for temperature setpoint for each zone.
Idea is to have different cut in and cut out temperatures. In most cases it does not matter if temperature is sport on with accuracy of 0.1 degree specially for hot water.
If you have deadband for active setpoint you check if temperature is < setpoint-deadband to start zone and you check that temperature is >= setpoint+deadband to stop zone. This way you don't cut in/cut out that often.
This approach is used if you know that you are ok with lower accuracy and you don't want to ware out equipment that fast by starting/stopping it.
Then if you still want it accurate you can set deadband to 0.
