Hi all
I’m brand new to HA and have a yellow box on order. Exciting! I’m an experienced Java/JS programmer (30y+) but not confident on the hardware side.
My home has 3 large roof windows that I’d like to automate as follows:
- auto close when rain is detected
- open/close based on internal room temperature
My existing hardware is as follows:
- Window controller that drives the window motors via two 240v inputs (open/close). Motors are 24v but that doesn’t matter
- Tado room thermostats that currently control the UFH. I’m hoping these will provide the room temperature readings.
And so what I’m missing is:
- Rain sensor
- Relay/bridges/io modules to interface with the rain sensor and window controller.
Any advice much appreciated:
- Z-wave, zigbee or thread
- Externally powered rain sensor suggestion (not wanting battery powered). I’m tempted to use dumb one connected to an io module?
- Compatible interface for the window controller
- Will I be able to use Tado as the internal temp sensor?
Regards
Paul
