The Home Climate System

Homsai can optimize the operation of HVAC devices in your home. It can currently be configured in two distinct modes:

  • Winter In winter mode, Homsai applies heating logics, and interfaces with the climate entities that have heat as hvac_mode
  • Summer In summer mode, Homsai applies cooling logics and interfaces with the climate entities that have cool as hvac_mode

Depending on the operating mode, Homsai is able to customize the performance of its algorithm based on the type of HVAC device, in particular:

  • Winter Supports Split, Radiators, Floor Radiant
  • Summer Supports Split

The type of HVAC devices is selected during the initialization phase of the specific mode. To date it is not possible to assign devices to multiple types.

Homsai retrieves all the climate entities and all the temperature type sensors from the Home Assistant, and then groups them according to the areas.

The areas of Home Assistant are interpreted by Homsai as rooms in the house and operations are performed on the basis of these:

  • climate entities of equal areas are treated individually, the user will not have to manage the desired temperature on the "kitchen air conditioner" but rather manage the preferences for the "kitchen" room;
  • sensor entities of equal areas are merged into a single datum by means of the weighted average operation, given that it is used to manage the air conditioning;
  • sensor entities and climate entities of equal areas form a single climate management unit
