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!

I wish that proton would focus on the depth of their present stack, as opposed to breadth.

I've been begging for rclone support for proton drive for a long time now.. without it, I basically have 1tb sitting there useless.

    I've had a sdr sitting in my drawer for a few months now (was going to use it to sniff for weather stations near me to feed to my home assistant)

    Didn't end up going in that direction, but I would like to play around with it!

    Where are some good places to start, what are your use cases?
