Well it's that time of year where I give in and put the heating on, and apart from forgetting about an IP address change my RPi/Arduino central heating system is working perfectly again!
One thing I want to improve is the awful timer/temp interface:
They are just stored in a MySQL database with each day and hour defined (24x7 = 168 entries) with the target temperature being reset every hour with the appropriate value.
It works, it's functional, but it's awful to look at. Any suggestions of how to make it a bit more user friendly?
No real reason. I think it was because there's a chance I could be in during the day so I didn't want it at 15, but it's not like 16 is at all comfortable though, may as well be 18 during the day.
On Auto the heating will only turn on when I'm in the house.
Anyone know how to cross compile stuff for the Pi on a desktop computer? I am working on my boiler program and it's getting annoying changing one character and waiting so long for it to compile on the Pi. Be nice if I could do it on here to speed things up.
