Creative Problems need Creative Solutions June 10, 2022 How do you record when your heating goes on and off? You can probably buy advanced home heating control systems but what about when you already have a system? I have a wireless thermostat but its don't track the history of my usage. Some options thought of were, hacking my thermostats API's or wiring something directly to the control board. In the end the simplest and easiest solution I found was a wireless temperature alert monitor placed in front of the boilers exhaust pipe! A couple days in an it works like a charm, alerts be when the heat is on and when it turns off. Now all I have to do is figure out how to export the emails to a spreadsheet!
