Thermostat based on outdoor temperature

If you have a big drafty home with no insulation, you know that while the thermostat may say that it is at the correct temperature, but it is in the center of the house and all the other rooms may be up to 10 degrees hotter or colder.

This blueprint uses data from OpenWeather to find out what the high temperature for the day is and adjust your internal temperature based on that data.

You should tag this as a climate blueprint , it will be easier to find.

Thanks, thought I had it tagged

just set this up, will give feedback tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.

@avd706
did you use this blueprint in the last two years and could you give an opinion on it?

Thanks in advance
