Climate Component

Introduction

The Climate component allows you to acquire all the functions of your thermostat and control them from a single interface: temperature, on / off, mode, fan speed, and season.

Use cases

• You can use this component to control all the thermostats in the house, giving you the option to manage them even when you are away from home.

• The user wants to control the living room air conditioner so it can be turned on before returning from work.

Component properties

The component title and icon are fully customizable. We recommend consulting the guide to “Common properties”.

This component is created with the Graphic UI gateway.

Refer to the chapter “Gateway / protocols” for further information.

Help
Configuration of the Climate component can be completed simply by dragging the components. When you set the components in the parameters, you can use the option menu or drag them from the “Components” section.

Reminder before continuing:

• Download and install the Logic module (Ilevia Logic plugin) to enable plugins (link);

• After uploading the Ilevia project to the server, wait a couple of minutes for the logic to start.

Three display modes are available: “CLASSIC”, “MODAL”, and “HIDDEN”. More information on the component display modes.
