Need some clues for turning ac up and down automatically

#1

I live in hot hot sunny Phoenix. The temperatures can rise up to a good 125 in the summer time.

I would like to adjust the temp if our house based on the temp outside. The hottest point in the day seems to be around 3-6pm

What I’d like to do is take a comparison every half hour, if the temp is still rising, turn the thermostat up a degree if it gets even hotter, turn it up another degree, and in the 120s, all the way up to 80 or higher (start at 77).

And, as soon as it starts cooling down after sunset, start turning the temp back down.

What is the best way to build this piston? I didn’t really see any triggers or conditions that matched what I want to do.

The easiest way to implement something like that in webCoRE is to put it into a table, then build that table up in two arrays.

If you put together a list of outside temps and thermostat temps, I’ll show you a quick and easy way to do it.

Here’s a simple approach:
