To create fully working thermostat you will need:

  • Temperature sensor for air temperature input and if electric floor heating is used, also one for floor temperature
  • an Output actuator
  • virtual Thermostat device
  • Hysteresis Smart Rule
  1. To create Input sensors go to module where physical temperature sensors are located and enable them:

3. To create Virtual Thermostat, go to Settings → Virtual devices → Add device → Thermostatdoc_tap_VirtualThermostat;


4. Open Thermostat Service settings and define Air sensor (and a Floor Sensor as well for electric floor heating) enabled in Step 1.doc_tap_ThermostatServicesettings;


5. Add Smart Rule Temperature hysteresis controller with following settings

  • Mode = Heating fixed
  • Medium = Hot (fixed) 

(Mode and Medium are explained here Heating and Cooling modes)

  • Range = oscillation range +/- value, default value 0.5 Degrees,
  • Output device = Output actuator, 
  • Limit temperature + Limit temperature Sensor =  usually floor temperature sensor with the limit temperature value
