Sensible
The temperature you feel, not the one your heater guesses
Sensible lets the heat pumps and heaters you already have in Homey regulate on the temperature where you actually are, not up by the ceiling. It learns how far the heater's own sensor is off compared to your room sensors and corrects the setpoint by exactly that, so a heat pump keeps running steadily at low power where it is most efficient.
Add a Sensible heating device, choose the heater and one or more room sensors, and use it like any thermostat. Optional extras include away and night temperatures, vacation mode, fireplace detection, a power meter for the heat pump and pause on open windows. Questions and details are in the Sensible topic on the Homey Community Forum.

What’s new
Version 1.20.0 — New Cold weather fan (off by default): while it is colder outside than a limit you choose, Sensible sets the heat pump fan to the highest speed or one step higher – all day, only at night or in your own time window – and puts it back afterwards. The outdoor temperature comes from the heat pump or an optional outdoor sensor. Works together with Emergency fan. Window pause can now lower the heater by a number of degrees instead of setting it to its lowest setpoint.
