🔥 Advanced Heating Control

Did you set a entity for comfort temperature?

A trace when the error occurs would be helpful. Feels like your thermostat is at some point stateless so this error gets fired.

Spooky is claiming an error with tado integration for your automation if tado is not in use (which is very uncommon i guess)

Yes you‘re right. Apparently I forgot to tick the box. However, even if it is activated, the behavior is the same. The same happens btw. when I set the temperature via the thermostat card in HA.

At least you need input number entities for comfort and if you like eco temperature. I will revise this in near future.

Yes, this is no official service. But as far as I know a custom integration is the only way to calibrate the tado thermostats since the official one does not support tado calibration.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the hint. That wasn‘t apparent for me.

Now it works again. Thanks a lot!

Could it be, that in v4.02 something’s wromng with the presence detection? I have a dummy person wich state is set, wenn me and my wife both are away. So in the AHC the duration for leaving home is set to 1:30 h

But it seems, that die automation set to minimum temp earlier.
Traces can be found here again

Hey list, thanks for that automation blueprint, it works quite well with my no name zigbee TFRs (aqara style) and the feature set is also quite nice. However, the watchman service and the spook integration are complaining about a non existent service:

+--------------------------------+---------+--------------------------------------------------------------+

even, this is probably just cosmetics, but could be also the source of some malfunctioning? I couldn’t find any information on that in this thread, but I don’t have any tado devices and was asking myself if I can just comment that section out?
Thanks and keep up the work on this :wink:

Ah, yes. There is something missing in the logic. When automation gets triggered by another trigger this condition is ignored.

You could go with an input_boolean for guest mode. Toggle it to on if you and your wife are away and toggle it off after 1:30 h meanwhile.

@DrBando

just three posts above. :wink: Will add this to the FAQ.

Yep, there’s an input number for comfort temperature set which I update through an automation when the temperature of the TRV is changing.

I’ll try to have a look at it. Since those errors don’t fire a notification it could be a bit tedious to get a trace log.

Could you check if you get those errors after a restart/reboot? Maybe the integration is not initiated at this moment but the automation module is. If its the case this is nothing to worry about but I have to cach this case in code.
Could you tell me on what hardware your ha instance is running?

No reboot today, Not even a HA restart.
HA ist running on an intel nuc dn2820fykh.
It should be poweful enough.

Since Version 4.0 my thermostat is switching the target temperature between 5 °C and 12 °C in fast succession when the corresponding window is open:

    input_log_level: warning

I really wonder where the 5°C are coming from. I never had this issue with AHC 3.x.

Please help me fix this problem. Thank you!

Hi! Is it possible to toggle eco / comfort temperature with a button? I don’t mean setting temp with input_number, but turning heating on / off.

The 5°C is mostly the minimum temperature of your thermostat. If you thermostat does not support the mode OFF it will be set to its minimum temperature.

The question is why it jumps back to 12°C.

Could you open the window and download and share 2-3 trace logs? (described here)

//EDIT: also check if there is another automation or something else that changes the temperature in your logbook.

You want to invert the result of the logic? What is the reason for this request?

Hello,
i recently updated from v4_beta5 to 4.0.2. On Beta5 i was still able to change temps via my HomeAssistant Dashboard (by using the Climate Display of my Dashboard).
After updating to 4.0.2 the desired temperature is always being reset to my comfort temp.
I already tried to enable the “Physical Temperature Change” option cuz i thought it could help, but the issue still remains.

Blueprint-Config:

alias: "Heizung: Arbeitszimmer"
description: ""
use_blueprint:
  path: panhans/heating_control.yaml
  input:
    input_trvs:
      - climate.arbeitszimmer_wandthermostat
    input_temperature_minimum_static: 15
    input_persons:
      - person.stefan
    input_schedulers:
      - schedule.heizung
    input_mode_guest: input_boolean.gastemodus
    input_mode_winter: binary_sensor.wintermodus
    input_temperature_comfort: input_number.heizung_arbeitszimmer_temperatur
    input_temperature_minimum: input_number.heizung_basetemp

I tried to dig a bit deeper into the traces and what made me curious was the following:

  to_state:
    entity_id: climate.arbeitszimmer_wandthermostat
    state: heat
    attributes:
      hvac_modes:
        - auto
        - heat
        - 'off'
      min_temp: 5
      max_temp: 30.5
      target_temp_step: 0.5
      preset_modes:
        - boost
        - none
      current_temperature: 21.2
      temperature: 22 << desired temp

But inside the changes Element the temperature is the following

changes:
  climate.arbeitszimmer_wandthermostat:
    - mode: heat
      temp: 20 <<

This results in the following behaviour:

22°c for 5 Seconds into 20°c (which is my comfort temp).

I may be wrong if this is intended behaviour, but i liked the beta5 behaviour way more. If it´s the desired behaviour, is there anything i can do about it?

I’m also interested in using this feature but note this in the blueprint

HINT : This feature doesn’t work properly since there is a bug in home assistant.

i have exactly the same problem. After changing the temperature at the valve or ui the temperature falls back to the comfort temp.
