Hi all,

Recently got a window AC for my bedroom. It’s presently using its automatic ‘eco’ mode, which seems to turn on around ~75 degrees F and off around ~72 degrees F.

This seems a touch excessive to me, as it seems to be on more than off.

I have the Thermal Comfort integration, which provides a range of different thermal indices.

Numeric indices: (dew point, frost point, absolute humidity, moist air enthalpy)

Bio indices: humidex, heat index.

Human perceived temperatures or “feels like temperatures”: dew point perception, humidex perception, relative strain perception, summer scharlau perception, summer simmer perception, thorms discomfort perception.

I have a broadlink IR blaster that I could toggle the AC on and off with.

Would automating off of one (or more) of these thermal indices be more optimal? Would there be a better way?

Here’s a graph for some context:

Light blue: Bedroom humidex

Dark blue: Outside humidex

Red: Bedroom temp

Orange: Outside temp

Thanks so much!
