Programmable thermostat - Raspberry Pi Forums

i believe should do-able complete noob, both electronics , raspberry pi, thought i'd ask reality. have electric baseboards, supplanted rocket mass heater electric still "go on vacation" backup. i'm in ne ontario canada -40c weather pretty common in winter.

envisioning raspberry pi programmable controller, bluetooth enabled. in each room bluetooth temperature sensor. on each baseboard remove rotary built in thermostat , replace bluetooth on/off switch. raspberry pi contoller monitors room temperatures , communicates bluetooth on/off switched baseboard regulate heat. since raspberry pi programmable can have separate temperature regimes each room , program them time of use (tou) electricity rates. basic display , means of scrolling through settings change them, if needed, manually thing.

ask, do-able project? if do-able parts need? programming required? i'm biologist electronics greek, please not offended if ask clarification or don't understand something. reason not using off shelf programmable other nest (big $) none have enough programs per day account tou electricity rates, have 4 programs , minimum of 5 needed tou , doesn't allow different temperatures during of rate periods account being @ home or not.

hi,

yes,... although,... have 2 concerns:
- bluetooth should replaced other rf technology,
- aware you're entering development area hidden below configuration surface visible users... luck that.
