Numeric Indices

Thermal Comfort provides numerical indices like dew point, frost point, absolute humidity and moist air enthalpy that are numeric values usable for further automations but also human readable. e.g. dew point tells the temperature to which air must be cooled to produce dew on a surface.

Bio Indices / Perception

Thermal Comfort also provides a variety of bio indices like humidex or heat index giving numeric values of human perceived temperatures (feels like temperature). In addition we also provide textual perception sensors that describe the range of an index in human readable form e.g. comfortable or uncomfortable.
