# Overview

Script to automate control of an home reverse cycle aircon system based on custom logic and temperature measurements.

This was originally written for an [AdvantageAir](https://www.advantageair.com.au/) system.   It just calls an external script to interface with the aircon, so should be easily adaptable to other systems.

# Requirements
- [pymyair](https://github.com/smallsam/pymyair)


# Features

- Log temperature measurements to a CSV file or InfluxDB
- Control zone temperature by opening/closing its vents
- Control zone temperature by opening/closing vents in adjacent zones
- Automatically adjust aircon settings based on define temperature thresholds
- Turn zones on/off based on ARP table entires for specific MAC addresses
- Define temperature rules based on weekday and/or time

# Usage

    root@gridbug:~# scripts/aircon.sh  -h
    usage:  scripts/aircon.sh [options]

        Modifies aircon based on configured parameters in /root/.airconrc.

        -i x.x.x.x  Specify IP address for aircon (default is 10.99.99.1)
        -I db       Log all zone temperatures to given influxdb database, then exit (see -o).
        -A db       Log actions to given influxdb database.
        -f file     Specify an alternate config file.
        -k file     If file exists, never change aircon settings (default: /root/.aircon_noaction).
        -l num      Set number of too hot/cold zones at which to taking action.
        -L          Log all zone temperatures to CSV file, then exit (see -o).

        -m          Generate a config file based on current aircon setup.
        -p          Profiler mode.
        -w          List which zone owners' devices are available then exit.
        -t num      Specify degrees below min temperature before taking action.
        -T num      Specify degrees above max temperature before taking action.
        -y          Actually run commands/db inserts.  By default, commands are just displayed.
