Underfloor Water heating - Night lowering

[admin]

You can modify PID library compute function like this. Then you need to specify night_mode (boolean, true = night mode) and setpoint_night (float16 or similar) addresses in PID init. After that restart your script via enable/disable so new library and parameters are loaded.

Code:

function PID:compute()
  local params, current, setpoint, deltasc, deltain, output

  params = self.params

  -- get input values
  current = grp.getvalue(params.current)
  setpoint = grp.getvalue(params.setpoint)

  if params.night_mode and grp.getvalue(params.night_mode) then
    setpoint = grp.getvalue(params.setpoint_night)
  end

  -- delta between setpoint and current
  deltasc = setpoint - current

  -- calculate new iterm
  self.iterm = self.iterm + params.ki * self.deltatime * deltasc
  self:clampiterm()

  -- delta between current and previous value
  deltain = current - self.previous

  -- calculate output value
  self.output = params.kp * deltasc + self.iterm
  self.output = self.output - params.kd / self.deltatime * deltain

  -- write to output
  self:setoutput()

  -- save previous value
  self.previous = current

  return self.output
end
