There is a ST thermostat app that allows you to use a remote temperature sensor. Maybe you can find something similar?
ecobee 3 works just fine with openhab.
Also, every motion sensor out there gets temp data too.

Do you solve your PC heating problems by typing out your long manifestos on a typewriter?i solve that by not having people in my house, or using ac

There's a host of dumb shit I should probably be doing before that.There is a ST thermostat app that allows you to use a remote temperature sensor. Maybe you can find something similar?
None of the thermostats on the market work with swamp coolers.ecobee 3 works just fine with openhab.

I've missed something. Why the swamp cooler? You running a data center?None of the thermostats on the market work with swamp coolers.

No, I live in a dry climate where swamp coolers are inexpensive alternatives to other forms of phase change air conditioning.I've missed something. Why the swamp cooler? You running a data center?
Don't those require a good bit of water, something else which is lacking? (I know next to nothing about them, but will Google after this post.)No, I live in a dry climate where swamp coolers are inexpensive alternatives to other forms of phase change air conditioning.
Yeah, they can be a bit of a water hog, but it is (or was, before the solar setup) cheaper to run per hour.Don't those require a good bit of water, something else which is lacking? (I know next to nothing about them, but will Google after this post.)
There is no way that wasting water should be cheaper that electricity generation in a desert. Fucking humans...Yeah, they can be a bit of a water hog, but it is (or was, before the solar setup) cheaper to run per hour.
It's an order of magnitude less water-wasting than a lawn, though.There is no way that wasting water should be cheaper that electricity generation in a desert. Fucking humans...
Enthalpy of vaporization of water at 25C is around 44KJ/mol, or about 2.44MJ/L.Don't those require a good bit of water, something else which is lacking? (I know next to nothing about them, but will Google after this post.)
Fuck off @geeEnthalpy of vaporization of water at 25C is around 44KJ/mol, or about 2.44MJ/L.
Average toilet flush with a modern toilet is about 6L, which is equivalent to about 14.6 MJ, or 4.06 kWh of heat removal, which is about equivalent to running a 13800 BTU air conditioner for an hour.
Assuming that air conditioner pulls about 900W when it's running based on a quick google, it's burning about 120g/hour of coal at a coil-fired power plant.
If you're running an AC unit off renewable energy, obviously it's better. But I'd pick the swamp cooler over a grid-powered AC unit from an environmental perspective.
I can see it both ways.Fuck off @gee
