Hi there,
technically, it would be possible to modify the app to manage an indeterminate number of relays and sensors. Honestly, you are not the first user that demands that feature.
Sadly, I’m not planning to release new versions of the app in the short-medium term. I’m very busy now with other projects that require my attention.
But I will have it present for future releases.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Hi CSV,
thank you for your suggestions. Normally I work on the app two or three months a year after the sommer. I will take your suggestions in account.
I tried the ds18b20 in the past, but I was unable to make it work with the ESP. I will try again in the future.
Thanks !
Hi there,
thank you for reporting the bug. I will add it to the todo list. I request your forgiveness, but I can not provide a fast hotfix at the moment.
I only wanted to tell you that the message is received and I’m aware of the bug.
Regards.
Hi Stevan!
Thank you for your feedback. I will take a look at the issues you found, but I can not promise when. I’m working full-time on another project now :S
(2) Yes, that’s a known issue, and it’s on my todo list. I will fix this someday.
Suggestions:
1.- I’m not sure if I understand the issue, but you don’t have to use an ESP32 for a DHT+Relay. You can have one esp for a relay, and as many esp’s you want with sensors.
2.- This feature was already requested, but it was out of the scope of this project. The main goal of this project was to replace the classical “wall thermostat”. Of course, it can be done, but the effort does not compensate for the profits.
Boost mode: Suppose you have programed a target temperature from 20潞. With the boost mode, you can set a target temperature, 25潞, and a duration for example 60 minutes. The thermostat will try to reach this temperature in the specified time, and 1.- if reached, or 2.- the time is elapsed, then it will continue with the previous settings (20潞). It is designed for when you want to heat your home very fast to compensate that it is very cold, but once heated, you can continue with milder temperatures.
Info about the premium version: You don’t need to buy the premium version to receive updates or to use the app. The premium version removes the ads and unlocks some features, like the alarms, the boost mode and so on. But if you are happy with the ads, then you don’t need the premium version. Actually the premium version is a way to compensate the developer (me), for the effort of developing 馃槈

Hi and welcome!
have you tried to upload the sketch to the esp32 “as is”? I think it should work without changes!
Regards!
Hola Miguel,
el led azul puedes apagarlo facilmente. Busca en el codigo del sketch la linea que ponga
digitalWrite(ONBOARD_LED_PIN, HIGH);
y comentala o borrala.
Respecto al led rojo, es el led de power. No creo que se pueda deshabilitar. Vas a tener que buscar una solucion un poco mas chapucera para que no se vea. Ponle una pegatina encima, o un pegote de plastilina, no se…
Un saludo
Hi!
the support for google home is on my todo list. I can not promise when it will be ready, but I hope that someday the project will support voice commands with google home.

In that balloon, could you add the hour with minutes? A greeting!
Yes, that it is possible. I write it down for the next version.
In the meantime I have another question/ideea, what about posibility to automatic change of master sensor module during a day? I mean that, for example, during the night, one sensor module installed in bedroom to be the master and during a setted period of day, other sensors to be masters, in order to regulate the temperature in other rooms.
BR,
OvidiuThe idea is again, a good idea. I will write it down, and if it is requested by more users, then I will implement it. I suppose I may add to each period of a program, the possibility to select which node is the master…
Hi!
I see this option is gaining acquiring supporters. Eventually I will add it to the todo list.
But I have a question. My boiler has already a way to start it in manual mode. If the thermostat is not working, I can always turn on the heating manually on the control panel of the boiler.
Your boiler does not have that function?
Regards!
Hola Mario, bienvenido al foro.
El motivo de mi mensaje era preguntarle a los usuarios que clase de gr谩ficas quer铆an tener. Por ejemplo, hist贸ricos de temperaturas, tiempos de funcionamiento de la caldera, etc. Como ves nadie ha contestado, as铆 que he creado las gr谩ficas que me han parecido convenientes, que son, un hist贸rico de temperaturas, y una gr谩fica con el tiempo de funcionamiento de la caldera vs el tiempo de funcionamiento del termostato.
Si ya eres usuario del termostato, puedes encontrar las graficas en la pagina web, en el men煤 “Mi Termostato”. No tienen una aspecto demasiado logrado, pero es una versi贸n preliminar. Cuando tenga tiempo, invertir茅 algo mas de tiempo en la web para que las graficas sean mas bonitas.
Respecto a tus sugerencias, tomo nota de ellas. No te puedo prometer que implemente alguna de ellas, y te explico el motivo. Recibo peticiones de nuevas funcionalidades de manera regular por parte de gente que ha encontrado el proyecto, y le parece interesante. Cada uno me pide lo que necesita para su caso particular, y a veces, esa funci贸n que un usuario necesita, es util en su caso particular, pero no es util para los demas usuarios. En la mayor铆a de los casos, la persona que pide tal o cual funcionalidad nueva, ni siquiera acaba usando el proyecto, aunque la a帽ada al mismo.
Por lo tanto lo que suelo hacer es apuntar los deseos, y cuando he recibido varias veces la misma petici贸n, pienso como integrarla en el proyecto. De manera que la tuya sobre los multiples rel茅s queda anotada en la lista.
Te comento que desarrollar una app de ios, tan solo la parte del cliente (dudo que alguien quiera destinar un Iphone a tareas de termostato), me llevar铆a un par de meses trabajando a jornada completa. Teniendo en cuenta que la app se puede usar gratuitamente, comprender谩s que la motivaci贸n para desarrollar invertir el esfuerzo necesario para la versi贸n ios es poca.
Agradezco los cumplidos al proyecto, pero lamento decir que este proyecto naci贸 para sustituir al t铆pico termostato de pared, sin ambici贸n de ser mas complicado que eso. Expandirlo con funcionalidades mas complejas me requerir铆a una inversi贸n de tiempo que lamentablemente no me compensa, aparte de que el retorno econ贸mico del mismo es pr谩cticamente nulo.
Un saludo
Roque.
Hi Ovidiu,
yes, I understand your concern, and I suppose that I can only answer you that if one of the modules is damaged, then it has to be replaced.
I suppose that if I was in this situation, I would improvise a button with some switch available at home (a wall switch would do the job)
Another option would be to add the button to the relay node yourself. The source code for the sketch is available, and it should not be very difficult.
I see that your request makes sense, but I don’t have the resources (I don’t have the time) to add to the project all the individual desires requested by the users. If this requested feature awakens the attention of other users, then I will reconsider adding it.
Thank you very much for your suggestions, sorry that I can not satisfy your request.
Regards.
Hi, welcome to the forum!
Indeed, it would be possible to add a button to the relay node to act as the main switch for the heating system. But regrettably this feature is outside of the objectives of this project and would mean many changes in the way it is conceived. Besides that, having only a switch on the relay node is a very poor feature if you don’t have a way to set the desired temperature.
Sorry for the disappointment,
R. Campos.
Hola Miguel,
bueno ayer publiqu茅 la versi贸n, asi que ya es tarde para las pruebas. Si no has recibido la actualizaci贸n, debes tenerla en la cola ;).
Asi que espero que haya suerte y vaya todo bien!
Un saludo!
One more thing. I suppose you already tried to register again the client app with the thermostat app, by reading the qr code?
Hi, welcome to this forum!
If the thermostat is working well, then the problem is only in the client app. May you tell me what android device you have (manufacturer and android version).
Probably it has to do with the energy savings policies that some manufacturers add to the devices.
Take a look in our faq section, to the question “Why is the client app not receiving data from the thermostat or vice versa?”:
Let me know if that solves the issue or not.
Thanks!
