Basic Thermostat
This project implements a basic temperature control system from a 3 modules MyDin made of:
- DINCASE-MB3PICO : controler based on Raspberry-Pi Pico
- DINCASE-2R-BP3MOD : 2 relays backplane
- TMP-DS18B20-WP : a DS18B20 OneWire temperature sensor.
The temperature sensor takes the room temperature and the heater is controled by the relay 1.
- LED 1 reflect the Rel 1 state (so heating state).
- LED 2 is lit while a FORCED forced is currently active
- LED 3 will blink once to acknowledge T° increase.
- LED 4 will blink once to acknowledge T° decrease.
- BUTTON 1 reverse (force) the current state of the relay.
When the relay is ON then it switch it off.
When the relay is OFF then is switch it on. - BUTTON 2 cancel the forced state.
- BUTTON 3 will decrease the setpoint T° of 1 degree.
- BUTTON 4 will increase the setpoint T° of 1 degree.
Current temperature, setpoint temperature and relay state is displayed in the REPL session.
Hysteresis
A thermostat allows to define the target temperature called the setpoint (eg: 25°C) and use an hysteresis range (EG: 2.5°C) to avoids continuous state change around the target temperature.
With the hysteresis, the heater starts heating from 25-2.5 = 22.5°C and will stop heating when the temperature raised above 25+2.5 = 27.5°C. The temperature will slowly decrease and the heater will start again when temperature falls under 22.5°C.
Forced Mode
Lets say
Forced state is canceled when the temperature reach the setpoint temperature corresponding the forced state.
Let say that
