Hi there,
indeed, Google removed the app from the store a couple of weeks ago, due to a problem with the login and the privacy policy. The app has to be updated to display the privacy policy before the user performs the log-in or something like that.
I haven’t had time yet to adapt the app to the new Google guidelines. In the meanwhile, you can download it directly from here:
https://www.smart-thermostat.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/app-release.apk
And now, about the main problem. Indeed, a couple of days ago, the backend was moved to a new server. I have reviewed the logs of the server and didn’t find an error or something that explains your issue.
Because of that, I need to ask you for more information. May you install a network tool app, like for example,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ua.com.streamsoft.pingtools
on both of your devices (the thermostat and the client), and ping the following url: https://www.smart-thermostat.eu
The IP returned should be 144.91.89.223. If it is not, then you have to force your device to refresh the DNS. This can be achieved by rebooting your devices or rebooting your router.
Please let me know if this helps. If not, we will look at it in more detail.
Thanks!
Hola!
Esta desaparecida, porque tengo que modificar la manera en la que se muestra la politica de privacidad, antes de registrarse en la app. Sino la Play Store no está contenta.
Y todavía no he tenido tiempo de hacerlo.
Si tienes un interes muy grande en la app, contactame por mail, y te mando el apk para que puedas instalarlo directamente en tu dispositivo.
Un saludo
Hi!
Sorry for the late answer. I’m glad you solved the problem.
Let us know if you need more help!
RoqueBueno, el problema es el siguiente. Como has usado el proyecto el año pasado, tienes cientos de miles de lecturas en el historico. El servidor intenta cargarlas todas para enviarselas a la web, pero son demasiadas.
Para sortear el problema, he configurado por defecto para que pida los datos historicos del ultimo més. Yo creo que puedes ir hacia atrás de 6 a 8 meses sin problemas. Pero a partir de ahi, lo mas probable es que el error se vuelva a repetir.
Tengo que darle una pensada sobre como agregar las estadisticas para tener un historico sin tantos datos. Lo apunto en la barra de hielo de tareas para hacer.
Espero que ahora te funcione (quizas tengas que recargar la pagina con CTRL+F5 para que te entre la ultima version).
Ya me cuentas.
Hi there,
technically, it would be possible to modify the app to manage an indeterminate number of relays and sensors. Honestly, you are not the first user that demands that feature.
Sadly, I’m not planning to release new versions of the app in the short-medium term. I’m very busy now with other projects that require my attention.
But I will have it present for future releases.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Hi CSV,
thank you for your suggestions. Normally I work on the app two or three months a year after the sommer. I will take your suggestions in account.
I tried the ds18b20 in the past, but I was unable to make it work with the ESP. I will try again in the future.
Thanks !
Hi there,
thank you for reporting the bug. I will add it to the todo list. I request your forgiveness, but I can not provide a fast hotfix at the moment.
I only wanted to tell you that the message is received and I’m aware of the bug.
Regards.
Hi Stevan!
Thank you for your feedback. I will take a look at the issues you found, but I can not promise when. I’m working full-time on another project now :S
(2) Yes, that’s a known issue, and it’s on my todo list. I will fix this someday.
Suggestions:
1.- I’m not sure if I understand the issue, but you don’t have to use an ESP32 for a DHT+Relay. You can have one esp for a relay, and as many esp’s you want with sensors.
2.- This feature was already requested, but it was out of the scope of this project. The main goal of this project was to replace the classical “wall thermostat”. Of course, it can be done, but the effort does not compensate for the profits.
Boost mode: Suppose you have programed a target temperature from 20º. With the boost mode, you can set a target temperature, 25º, and a duration for example 60 minutes. The thermostat will try to reach this temperature in the specified time, and 1.- if reached, or 2.- the time is elapsed, then it will continue with the previous settings (20º). It is designed for when you want to heat your home very fast to compensate that it is very cold, but once heated, you can continue with milder temperatures.
Info about the premium version: You don’t need to buy the premium version to receive updates or to use the app. The premium version removes the ads and unlocks some features, like the alarms, the boost mode and so on. But if you are happy with the ads, then you don’t need the premium version. Actually the premium version is a way to compensate the developer (me), for the effort of developing 😉
Regards!
Hi and welcome!
have you tried to upload the sketch to the esp32 “as is”? I think it should work without changes!
Regards!
Hola Miguel,
el led azul puedes apagarlo facilmente. Busca en el codigo del sketch la linea que ponga
digitalWrite(ONBOARD_LED_PIN, HIGH);
y comentala o borrala.
Respecto al led rojo, es el led de power. No creo que se pueda deshabilitar. Vas a tener que buscar una solucion un poco mas chapucera para que no se vea. Ponle una pegatina encima, o un pegote de plastilina, no se…
Un saludo
Hi!
the support for google home is on my todo list. I can not promise when it will be ready, but I hope that someday the project will support voice commands with google home.

In that balloon, could you add the hour with minutes? A greeting!
Yes, that it is possible. I write it down for the next version.
In the meantime I have another question/ideea, what about posibility to automatic change of master sensor module during a day? I mean that, for example, during the night, one sensor module installed in bedroom to be the master and during a setted period of day, other sensors to be masters, in order to regulate the temperature in other rooms.
BR,
OvidiuThe idea is again, a good idea. I will write it down, and if it is requested by more users, then I will implement it. I suppose I may add to each period of a program, the possibility to select which node is the master…
Hi!
I see this option is gaining acquiring supporters. Eventually I will add it to the todo list.
But I have a question. My boiler has already a way to start it in manual mode. If the thermostat is not working, I can always turn on the heating manually on the control panel of the boiler.
Your boiler does not have that function?
Regards!
Hola Mario, bienvenido al foro.
El motivo de mi mensaje era preguntarle a los usuarios que clase de gráficas querían tener. Por ejemplo, históricos de temperaturas, tiempos de funcionamiento de la caldera, etc. Como ves nadie ha contestado, así que he creado las gráficas que me han parecido convenientes, que son, un histórico de temperaturas, y una gráfica con el tiempo de funcionamiento de la caldera vs el tiempo de funcionamiento del termostato.
Si ya eres usuario del termostato, puedes encontrar las graficas en la pagina web, en el menú “Mi Termostato”. No tienen una aspecto demasiado logrado, pero es una versión preliminar. Cuando tenga tiempo, invertiré algo mas de tiempo en la web para que las graficas sean mas bonitas.
Respecto a tus sugerencias, tomo nota de ellas. No te puedo prometer que implemente alguna de ellas, y te explico el motivo. Recibo peticiones de nuevas funcionalidades de manera regular por parte de gente que ha encontrado el proyecto, y le parece interesante. Cada uno me pide lo que necesita para su caso particular, y a veces, esa función que un usuario necesita, es util en su caso particular, pero no es util para los demas usuarios. En la mayoría de los casos, la persona que pide tal o cual funcionalidad nueva, ni siquiera acaba usando el proyecto, aunque la añada al mismo.
Por lo tanto lo que suelo hacer es apuntar los deseos, y cuando he recibido varias veces la misma petición, pienso como integrarla en el proyecto. De manera que la tuya sobre los multiples relés queda anotada en la lista.
Te comento que desarrollar una app de ios, tan solo la parte del cliente (dudo que alguien quiera destinar un Iphone a tareas de termostato), me llevaría un par de meses trabajando a jornada completa. Teniendo en cuenta que la app se puede usar gratuitamente, comprenderás que la motivación para desarrollar invertir el esfuerzo necesario para la versión ios es poca.
Agradezco los cumplidos al proyecto, pero lamento decir que este proyecto nació para sustituir al típico termostato de pared, sin ambición de ser mas complicado que eso. Expandirlo con funcionalidades mas complejas me requeriría una inversión de tiempo que lamentablemente no me compensa, aparte de que el retorno económico del mismo es prácticamente nulo.
Un saludo
Roque.
