[APP][Pro] Heating Controller with utility prices

Hello @balmli

I have calculated sort of “gain” variable for the thermostat control with the use of nordpool app (could be made with this heating controller app also). The variable is calculated so that the variable value is 1, when the price is at the lowest of the day and 0 when the price is highest of the day and everything between. I have made this calculation with about 26 different flows and variables.



I use this gain variable to scale the thermostat target temperature. For example I vary my livingroom floor temperature between 16-26 degrees. The actual thermostat target value is then calculated by 16+(26-16)*Gain=Target value. This way the heating is automatically done during the low price time and this gain value can be used in different thermostats.

My question is that could you implement this gain value calculation into the heating controller app and it could be used as a device variable? I think it would be usefull to other users also.
