Web Interface Legend

The Web Interface uses a variety of line styles and flags to display the thermostats' activity.

Note that starting or restarting the daemon results in the current state of the thermostat being recorded, and hence flags being displayed in the web interface, even if there has been no change of state.

Lines for Central Heating

The following line styles and colours are used to show the various temperatures:

Style Description
Room temperature as measured by the thermostat
Target temperature that the thermostat is/was trying to achieve
Comfort level programmed target temperature (shown even if the heating is switched off to provide a guide as to the preferred temperature profile)
External temperature provided by an optional online weather service
Thermostat has switched the heating on (the boiler will not generally be on for these full periods since it will have its own thermostat based on the water temperature)

The small navigator chart shows the same room temperature data as the main chart, but for the full history that has been logged. This can be used to zoom in on the section of interest.

Flags for Central Heating

The reason for changes to the target room temperature are indicated by circular flags just above the target temperature line:

Flag Description
The thermostat is switched off
Holiday mode, frost protection enabled until return date
Summer mode, frost protection enabled indefinitely
Temperature hold, for selected duration
Temperature adjusted manually, until next programmed comfort level

Two additional flags for normal timer operation are currently disabled, but can be displayed by uncommenting the relevant lines of the index.html file:

Flag Description
Target temperature is the programmed comfort level
Optimum start has increased the target temperature ahead of the next programmed comfort level

Flags for Hot Water

If the thermostat also controls hot water then changes to its state are indicated by square flags at the bottom of the chart:

Flag Description
The thermostat is switched off
Holiday mode, hot water disabled until return date
Away mode, hot water disabled indefinitely
Hot water is on, controlled by timer
Hot water is off, controlled by timer
Hot water is on, manual boost
Hot water is on, manual override
Hot water is off, manual override
