Hi all,
Recently got a window AC for my bedroom. It’s presently using its automatic ‘eco’ mode, which seems to turn on around ~75 degrees F and off around ~72 degrees F.
This seems a touch excessive to me, as it seems to be on more than off.
I have the Thermal Comfort integration, which provides a range of different thermal indices.
Numeric indices: (dew point, frost point, absolute humidity, moist air enthalpy)
Bio indices: humidex, heat index.
Human perceived temperatures or “feels like temperatures”: dew point perception, humidex perception, relative strain perception, summer scharlau perception, summer simmer perception, thorms discomfort perception.
I have a broadlink IR blaster that I could toggle the AC on and off with.
Would automating off of one (or more) of these thermal indices be more optimal? Would there be a better way?
Here’s a graph for some context:
Light blue: Bedroom humidex
Dark blue: Outside humidex
Red: Bedroom temp
Orange: Outside temp
Thanks so much!
What one are you using that is outdoor rated?
