Radiothermostat charting and scheduling functionality

PLEASE: post any relevant charting / scheduling functionality. This community is truly remarkable: thank you!

Radiothermostat.com cloud service is to be retired in May. The service provides control and data presentation for multiple thermostats:

  1. time charts of compressor usage and temperature.

  1. heating and cooling schedule configuration:

I would like to avoid “re-inventing the wheel”. Is there a clever method to search (Google) for any existing solutions?

Any suggestions / lessons-learned are appreciated. Thank you

Looks like we’ll have to reinvent the wheel on this one… There’s an unsupported API in the device for fully controlling the thermostat. A Github user provides some helpful information as well as a copy of the API documentation:

There is full read/write access to the heat/cool schedule, as well as current status – logging and charting would need to be collected and displayed programmatically on the server: the thermostat doesn’t store historical information.

I don’t know (yet) how to implement any of this into HomeAssistant. Any veterans willing to offer some guidance?

Today the RadioThermostat app stopped working.

Has there been any progress on creating the ability to creating set the times for the scheduled temperature set point?

I would like the following minimal control functionality:
Cooling Schedule

  1. Create Weekday (MoTuWeThFr) Weekend (SaSu) Schedules
    1.1 Weekday Schedule with 4 time/temp set points
    Wake
    Work
    Evening
    Overnight (to next day wake time)
    1.2 Weekday Schedule with 3 time/temp set points
    Wake
    Daytime
    Eveningd
    Overnight
  2. Repeat above for HEAT schedule
    It would be nice if these could be done via a gui in the HA interface for non technical users but if this has to be done via AML that would be fine for now
  3. Be able to adjust the currently set target temp to override the currently scheduled setpoint but this temp hold temperature should get replace when the next scheduled time/temp setpoint occurs
  4. Ability to switch from Heat scheduled mode to Cool Scheduled Mode via Card controls

This would provide the minimal functionality required to replace the Radio Thermostat App

Long term reporting on AC/Heat run time and a graph of hour temp over time would finish the requirements.

I think that we are going to see a lot more of requests like thus with the APP now dead. I have not been able to figure out HS for household production usage. I have tinkered with it on an off but have not ben ale to make it useful.
I think this would be the perfect project for myself and others who are relatively inexperienced with HA

I created an excel sheet that builds the cURL command to modify the weekly schedule. If you are interested respond to this thread and I can send it to you. I couldn’t find a way to upload it here, but I am able to upload a screenshot:

Update: Here is a link to the sheet:

Until we get another solution, Enjoy!
