New rule(optional for now) would allow electric companies in NYS to control your thermostat for a $25/month credit

I hope this passes. The government in NY knows best

this is a start .. then you can build on it with code
if TEMP ==(80) then shut down furnace .. turn a pin on or off to trip the shut down relay ..

You are off to a good start but its not exactly that simple. Read up on "heat anticipators" to get an understanding how a mechanical stat works. If you really want to get deep into the weeds look into Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller theory. Those functions are what you need for a stat to work correctly not short cycle or over/under shoot

PID, use it for a bar b q temp/fan controler.

If they control the usage shouldn't they pay for the use? After all we wouldn't be in control.

Last Friday, I paid a $420 electric bill. Not long ago, even though I used much more electricity back then, my highest electric bills weren't much over $200.



It's going to get worse before it gets worse, it's how New York rolls.

Did you read through your bill? The NYS Green tax and services fees went into effect.

If they increase the credit to $250 per month, I will allow the installation of the thermostat in my temperature-controlled basement.

Ahhh yes. The carbon tax! Something you agreed to pay I'm sure.

lol, “agreed to”? You misspelled “put in place by a seven member committee appointed by the Queen”

Ive seen recently NYS is 49% higher than the average

I really hope the .gov begins to control more in NY.

We have all seen how government control up there is working.

im not actually building a thermostat and i don't think this one even has a anticipator it it if cant work correctly as is and needs

someone to watch over it ... ( the Thermostat i have now is a honeywell digital programable unit ) i remember the mercury bubbles and the wire adjustment ( the anticipator ) ..

I just found out these little ESP32-S3 boards can talk to each other with no wi-fi or bluetooth .. ESP32_NOW i think it what i was called ..

now i can stick one under the trailer and a temp sensor on the water line and monitor the temp inside on a LED display ..

or should i order a sensor that actually goes into the main water line .. LOL .. WARNING WARNING FREEZE ALEART LOL
