Very nice how long have u been tinkering with electronics for

not sure, had this for months but only coded for maybe a few hours or more, idk

And there was lots of template code.

Nice have u made anything else, templates are okay my code is usally bits and pieces mashed together off the Internet and pray that it works ahah

hmm, tried to get the barometer working, displays fixed pressure even when blowing... used a separate arduino for room thermometer that's logged to a laptop home-server, tho I doubt I'd ever get it to control a window (open or close when I send remote signals), or the evap cooler

I dont know much about barometers maybe blowing on it isnt enough to show a diffrent reading, I like the idea of using a thermometer to open and close a window im not sure what u have access to but u could use a solenoid piston to open and close the window but u would need abit of extra stuff another way could be to use a stepper motor that turns a gear that is connected to a arm in some way that can open and close the window

cool ideas... removing the plastic that "locks" it when not pulled sideways, and installing the piston would be cool. Ooo, there are window systems that can be electronically controlled, eg: https://www.ljpratley.co.uk/electric-window-controls

I never even thought someone had probably already made a product to open windows ahah maybe u will be able to make it work

Tks... I remember a library's windows opening on their own, rotating several glass pieces, so remembered and searched. Idk if I'd be able to install until I'm in a different place... tho can install that among 2 other stuff:
- Metal roller shutter (seen other houses use them on their windows sometimes, keeps the sun out when needed)
- Fire extinguishing ball: https://elidefire.com.au/

Ah that one may have to wait abit, found this too which is quite cool while I was looking at window openers https://amzn.eu/d/bzN24gA one for a greenhouse but dosent need electronics, a automatic shutter could be cool maybe closes at a ceratin time of day when the sun shines through the most or maybe even use the api of a website that tracks the sun and closes depending on that
