Add intelligent KDK fan control using Singapore weather and ambient light data

[Copilot]

Implements autonomous control of living room KDK fan parameters (speed, brightness, color temperature) based on Singapore weather forecasts and local environmental sensors.

Implementation

Single NetDaemon app (LivingRoomKdkIntelligentControl.cs) with reactive subscriptions:

• Fan speed: Temperature-based (24°C→25%, 26°C→50%, 28°C→75%, 30°C→100%), with rainy weather adjustments
• Light brightness: Ambient light-based (50 lux→20%, 20→50%, 10→75%, <10→100%)
• Color temperature: Time/weather-based (evening→2700K warm, hot→5500K cool, day→4000K neutral)

Data Sources

• Singapore weather: Existing DgsForecast service (data.gov.sg 2hr forecast)
• Temperature: sensor.daikinap16703_inside_temperature
• Ambient light: sensor.presence_sensor_fp2_b4c4_light_sensor_light_level
• Sun position: sun.sun

Control Flow

// Temperature changes trigger fan speed adjustments
_temperatureSensor.StateChanges()
    .Where(_ => !_laundryModeSwitch.IsOn())
    .Throttle(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2))
    .Subscribe(e => AdjustFanSpeedBasedOnTemperature(e.New?.State));

// Weather forecast adjusts for rain conditions
apiFactory.CreateForecast()
    .Select(f => ExtractBishanForecast(f))
    .DistinctUntilChanged()
    .Subscribe(forecast => AdjustFanBasedOnWeather(forecast));

Manual override via existing input_boolean.liang_yi_mo_shi (laundry mode switch) disables all automation.

Throttling & Safety

• Temperature: 2min throttle
• Light sensor: 3min throttle
• Color temp: 30min interval
• Null-safe throughout with FirstOrDefault() patterns

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• api-open.data.gov.sg
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/curl curl -s REDACTED (dns block)
• api.data.gov.sg
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/curl curl -s REDACTED (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

Original prompt

Add a dedicated netdaemon app to intelligently set the living room kdk fan speed, brightness, and tone. Make use of weather and lighting data from public APIs for singapore
