Thermostat project questions

$

Well I am starting to work on my thermostat

 

I have two separate units, a heat and cool unit

 

So there will be one output to run the heat, and one for the AC along with a fan signal

 

I have been going through some of the temperature sensor demos, and low power thermostat projects trying to get some ideas on how to attack this.

 

I thought about using the internal temperature sensor since I think it will be close enough for this project. 

 

I was thinking about having a LCD for the actual, target temperature, mode, and calling for heat or cool.

 

Eventually I want to set this up with bluetooth remote, but for now getting it to go will be the first step.

 

Have any of yall done a project like this?  Any tips?

 

I was thinking about sampling the temperature every 30 seconds,

 

If the system is in the off mode to go into low power state

 

I need to find the formula to send a F temperature value to the LCD

 

 

Thanks again!
