Hey everyone! 
I’m excited to share a collection of 5 production-ready blueprints I’ve been developing for my own home automation. These focus on implementing proper building science standards (ASHRAE-55, EN 16798) rather than simple fixed thresholds.

The Blueprints
1. Adaptive Comfort Control Pro (HVAC)
For: Thermostats (Ecobee, Nest, Honeywell, generic)
Implements the ASHRAE-55 adaptive comfort model — your ideal indoor temperature shifts based on outdoor conditions, not arbitrary fixed setpoints.
Highlights:
- Psychrometric calculations (dew point, enthalpy, absolute humidity)
- Natural ventilation with muggy air blocking
- Machine learning from your manual adjustments
- Sleep mode with tighter comfort bands
- Smart HVAC pause when doors/windows open (with freeze/overheat protection)
- U.S. regional climate presets (all 50 states)
- Auto-detects thermostat vendor profiles (minimum separation, etc.)
2. Bathroom Light & Fan Control Pro
For: Bathroom exhaust fans + lights
Uses the “Wasp-in-a-Box” dual-sensor pattern (motion + door) for accurate occupancy detection, plus humidity-delta-based fan control.
Highlights:
- Delta humidity control (bathroom minus baseline) — works even on naturally humid days
- Hysteresis prevents fan chattering (separate ON/OFF thresholds)
- Rate-of-rise boost — fan starts early when humidity spikes
- Rate-of-fall hold — prevents premature shutoff
- Night mode with dimmed lights and warm color temp
- Manual override detection with configurable duration
3. Multi Switch Light Control Pro
For: Z-Wave, Zigbee, and Lutron switches/remotes
Universal switch automation that auto-detects your hardware and adapts trigger mappings automatically.
Supported devices:
- Zooz ZEN71/72/73/74/76/77
- Inovelli Blue (VZM31, VZM35) via Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA
- Inovelli Red (LZW30/31/36)
- Lutron Pico remotes (2/3/4/5-button)
Highlights:
- Auto-detection of device model and protocol
- Unified dimming across all trigger types
- 5x multi-tap support for custom actions
- Hold-to-dim with release detection
- Switch state sync (optional)
4. Adaptive Shades Pro
For: Motorized blinds/shades/covers
Solar-aware shade positioning based on the research paper Energies 13(7):1731.
Highlights:
- Uses sun azimuth/elevation and window orientation
- Direct vs. diffuse light classification
- Temperature-biased: opens for passive solar gain in winter, closes for cooling in summer
- Glare protection with optional lux sensor
- Supports slat (venetian) and zebra shade modes
- Quiet hours and manual override support
5. Ceiling Fan Climate Control Pro
For: Ceiling fans with HVAC coordination
Implements EN 16798 / ASHRAE 55 adaptive comfort for ceiling fan control.
Highlights:
- Dynamic comfort band based on outdoor temperature
- Heat index integration (humidity-aware)
- HVAC coordination — works with heating/cooling cycles
- Deviation-based speed (not fixed thresholds)
- Optional reverse mode for winter heating
Why These?
I built these because most blueprints I found used fixed thresholds that don’t account for:
- Humidity — 77°F at 30% RH feels different than 77°F at 70% RH
- Outdoor conditions — Your body adapts to seasonal temperatures
- Real building science — ASHRAE-55 and EN 16798 exist for a reason
These aren’t just “turn on at X degrees” automations. They implement the actual math from building science standards.
Requirements
- Home Assistant 2023.4+
- Appropriate sensors for each blueprint (temp, humidity, motion, etc.)
- See individual README files for detailed requirements
