Home Thermostat for Smart Temperature Control

Traditional thermostats offer numerous shortcomings because of limited automation options, relying primarily on the time of day. If one does not get home at a preset time, they may be greeted by a cold house and/or waste energy on heating an empty house. The ThermoSmart project aims to make it possible for users to control the temperature of their home remotely. The system is based on a server that receives data about the temperature from a Raspberry Pi 4 thermostat, which is controlled by a mobile app. The system follows the principle of simplicity. It also provides convenience features, such as a forecast which helps users find an optimal combination of adequate temperature and energy consumption. The thermostat operates with two thermometers, one of which is located inside the house, with the other outside. The data they generate are used to create statistics, which are also intended to provide a basis for the user who wants to optimize the performance of his house.
