Heating Manager

The Heating Manager is a Go-based program designed for monitoring and controlling a heating system using Solar-Manager. It continuously checks the temperature and activates the heating if needed to prevent exceeding a predefined temperature threshold. Additionally, it conducts weekly checks to ensure the system's proper functionality.

Features

• Temperature Monitoring: Monitors the temperature via a Shelly device and logs the status.
• Automatic Heating Control: Turns on the heating when the set temperature threshold is exceeded.
• Weekly System Check: Performs automatic weekly checks to ensure the system's operability.

Configuration

The program reads its configuration from a file named config.json, which should be placed in the same directory as the program. The configuration file should include the following settings:

{
    "solarManagerURL": "https://cloud.solar-manager.ch/v1/stream/sensor/{solarmanagerid}",
    "solarManagerSensorID": "solarmanagertempsensor_id",
    "temperatureThreshold": 55,
    "temperatureTurnOff": 60,
    "checkInterval": 5, 
    "weeklyCheckInterval": 168,
    "username": "username",
    "password": "password"
}

Installation

Ensure Go is installed on your system. Clone the repository or download the source files. Run go build in the project directory to create the executable file.

Usage

After configuring config.json appropriately and compiling the program, you can start the Heating Manager by running the generated executable:

./heating_manager

The program will continue to run in the background, monitoring the temperature and controlling the heating as needed.
