In addition I want to present the outside weather as is in a visualization app on screens throughout the house. However the new eventbased sunrise/sunset function in my LM makes the need for measuring brightness outside unnecessary. The Netatmo Weather Station is no ordinary weather station. My plan was to use one of these to measure outside brightness and turn lights automatic on or off according to this. Meet our new partner Weather Underground Now you and your friends can also see Netatmo Station data in the Wunder Station app for iPad and on. This one from Jung has everything, but it is the priciest: This one from Gira is within the price range, but the functions ar limited and it doesnt have humidity and athmospheric pressure

The panel heater example above was one of these when we noticed that the room they play XBox in gets cold in Winter but is very warm in summer.Īnother one was being late leaving the house for school - So I have a scenario to pulse the hallway and kitchen LED lights bright red for 2 mins when it’s time to leave (then reset back to normal white again).I was planning on buying a weather station for KNX, but the price for these are extremely high. So that get’s my brain going and then I’ll come up with an automation solution (if it’s possible). So we (as a family) might notice or comment on something - “It would be useful if at xx time on a weekend this could happen…”.

What I’ve found is that our system is evolving over time with new rules/logic/scenarios. My wife, not so much - but I don’t think she’s interested in knowing the finer details either! I suppose, in short, myself and my two kids (8 and 11 y/o) would have an interest and understanding of what the system is doing. That’s an interesting question, and something I hadn’t really thought about until now…
