DIY Virtual Alike NEST Thermostat with Node-RED

Create your own DIY virtual alike NEST thermostat to set and control the temperature of your home wherever you are from your desired device.

Hi all! What´s up Makers?!

This is my first project I would like to share with Hackster community! :)

I created this project because as I work with shifts, it was always a nightmare to setup and configure manually every week my Old-Home-NO-InternetOfThings-device-Thermostat due my shifts does not depends on a regular basis.

So I needed a solution which It could let me turn On or Off my Heating system wherever I am, few minutes before coming home and then… save as well some energy efficency at home!

As I always liked NEST design Thermostat I ended building up a virtual alike one!

You would be able to Monitor the Temperature and Humidity of your home-room and (of course) turn On/Off your Heating system from anywhere directly from any Internet connected device (PC/Tablet/Mobile).

So, once we know the story behind this project and its aim, let´s start!”
