Looking for a solution on how to determine when to close and open skylight blinds. I can just do hours of the day but would like it to be a bit more intelligent.
Anyone looked at using something like the math used for solar panels? I was thinking that when max solar power was generated in the summer that is when they are closed to keep heat out.
Ideas?
Just a few ideas for very easy math:
Start with the sunrise and sunset times. You can have them automatically for your location.
Calculate the middle between these: this is your best “noon” time (free of DST etc).
Calculate the duration between these: the longer it is, the warmer.
