When picking which of the high/low temperatures to display as the "target", it makes more sense to take the outside temperature into consideration, rather than the current temperature of the thermostat. If the temperature outside is less than the temperature of the thermostat, then we are far more likely to end up in "heating" mode eventually, and vice versa, regardless of where the current inside temp falls in the range between high and low.

===========================================================================================================
Home Assistant is a home automation platform running on Python 3. The
goal of Home Assistant is to be able to track and control all devices at
home and offer a platform for automating control.
To get started:
.. code:: bash
python3 -m pip install homeassistant
hass --open-ui
Check out `the website <https://home-assistant.io>`__ for `a
demo <https://home-assistant.io/demo/>`__, installation instructions,
tutorials and documentation.

Built home automation on top of your devices:
- Keep a precise history of every change to the state of your house
- Turn on the lights when people get home after sun set
- Turn on lights slowly during sun set to compensate for less light
- Turn off all lights and devices when everybody leaves the house
- Offers a `REST API <https://home-assistant.io/developers/api/>`__
and can interface with MQTT for easy integration with other projects
like `OwnTracks <http://owntracks.org/>`__
- Allow sending notifications using
`Instapush <https://instapush.im>`__, `Notify My Android
(NMA) <http://www.notifymyandroid.com/>`__,
`PushBullet <https://www.pushbullet.com/>`__,
`PushOver <https://pushover.net/>`__, `Slack <https://slack.com/>`__,
`Telegram <https://telegram.org/>`__, and `Jabber
(XMPP) <http://xmpp.org>`__
The system is built modular so support for other devices or actions can
be implemented easily. See also the `section on
architecture <https://home-assistant.io/developers/architecture.html>`__
and the `section on creating your own
components <https://home-assistant.io/developers/creating_components.html>`__.
