What are "window bypass" and "EMA temperature"?

[puetsch]

Hello,

first of all: I love VT. It allowed me to switch my floor heating to a climate entity.

The documentation is great but there are two things I don't understand and couldn't find in the documenation:

1. What is "window bypass"? Presumably, it's a way to bypass the "open window detection" and kick off a heating phase. I couldn't find a button to do this, though.
2. What is the "EMA temperature"?

Hello,

Presumably, it's a way to bypass the "open window detection" and kick off a heating phase. I couldn't find a button to do this, though.

You are right. To control the bypass, you can call an action (ex service) on VTherm or use the VTherm UI Card here: https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile-thermostat-ui-card

EMA temperature: Exponential Moving Average. A smoothed temperature measurement to avoid bad mesure of bad sensor. This is used to get a smooth slope of the temperature curve, which is used in various functions: open window detection without sensor, auto-start/stop, ...

Thank you, I found the action! Nice.

As a feature request: What do you think of making a default button as part of the integration? This would make it easier to add it to an entities card, for example.

Exponentiual Moving Average 🙈 I should've guessed that. Thank you!

The window by pass is currenlty available in the VTherm UI Card (see here: https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile-thermostat-ui-card). Click on the window icon when it is displayed.
