# Overview
![aircon.sh in action](https://cube.nethack.net/images/aircon_control.png "aircon.sh in action")
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 defined temperature thresholds
- Turn zones on/off based on ARP table entires for specific MAC addresses (for example, if a TV is turned on or a person's phone is detected)
- 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.
-h Show this text.
-c Cron mode. Only show output if actions were taken.
-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).
-o file Specify CSV output file. Default: /root/acstats.csv
-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.

## Generate ~/.airconrc based on your a tual aircon zones
bash$ aircon.sh -m
## Log temperature for each zone to csv then exit
bash$ aircon.sh -L -o /root/acstats.csv -x /usr/local/bin/pymyair -f /root/.airconrc
## Preview influxdb inserts for zone temperatures
bash$ aircon.sh -I myinfluxdb
/usr/local/bin/influx -database myinfluxdb -execute INSERT temperature,room=Family value=18.7
/usr/local/bin/influx -database myinfluxdb -execute INSERT temperature,room=Brendan value=19.1

## Log temperature for each zone to local influxdb then exit

## Determine required aircon changes and display them only (dry run)
