[userModule] window heater control

Post by niko »

Manages a Window Heating Element based on various factors to avoid condensation.
Creates a virtual device to show heating status

The Module features a configurable sleep and heating duration, this avoids the heating being on all the time.
Based on the preconditions set it will decide wether to heat the windows or not.
It uses hardcoded "condensing conditions", derived from the UndergroundWeather module, if one of these is encountered, it will always start heating.
This is to avoid "sweating" of the windows if it is foggy or drizzling.

Developed on Z-Way version v2.1.1

the code lives on github, so the usual applys:
