I recently installed Electrical Heating cable on the roof to prevent Ice forming and damming up. I installed an Insteon On/Off Switch 2466SW to allow control of the event.
I'm interested to see how others setup the event to control the heating cable. I had thought to use outdoor temperature < 32F and precipitation ie snow/ice. While the temperature is a reliable variable the change of snow seem like an unreliable variable to setup the event... I just purchased the UltraweatherWU3 plugin to get outdoor variables.
If you have any event you have setup I would appreciate your thoughts.
Many thanks
