🔥 Advanced Heating Control

Thank you. I’ll try.

I deleted the second round in the first step…we’re warming up. Thank you!

Hi, I started using your blueprint.
It is really great. It works well but my next step is to power on my heating stove with custom action and do not know how / understand this:
“If you want to control other devices just check states before doing an action call. Use the variable is_heating in your conditions”
Could you be so kind and give me advice ?
I have 3 rooms with 5 TRV

This variables don’t exist in v5 anymore.

  1. You can go with a custom action with the variable mode (value can be eco or comfort) to evaluate in a template condition.

  2. You can setup an AHC Template Sensor by copy this in your configuration.yaml (Don’t forget to read the comments :wink: ) and build a separate automation triggered by your new sensor.

Almost there :slight_smile:
but now I have unknown status for helper
I use template.yaml.
I have this

  • trigger:
    • trigger: event
      event_type: ahc_event
      event_data:
      automation: 1733070757551 # edit this to your automation id
      binary_sensor:
    • name: “AHC Julia” # give the sensor a name
      unique_id: AHC_Julia_Room # and ofcourse an ID

Just press the three dots menu next to your automation and select settings. Copy the entity id and set this for the value of the automation variable. Then press C anywhere in home assistant and type template and reload your template entities.

Hello
Thank you for your patient
I think I have already tried this but this time it started to work :slight_smile:
Thanks

Hi,
the delay after restarting ha is still not working for me.
I used a delay of two minutes. I tried also 1 Minute and 5 Minutes with the same results.
But the automation still changes the temperature to 5°C after the restart.

Ah sorry. I know the issue. The automation is delayed but the “old” variables were set. The automation needs to be triggered after the delay. I will fix this.

//EDIT: Now it’s fixed. After the delay the code is no longer executed. A custom event is fired, which triggers the automation again.

Sorry for the stupid question but I thought I would use the is_heating variable to turn on my switch.

Now I used - if AHC is on

but AHc is on even when TRV is idle

I probably don’t understand something.

Could you tell me how your stove is represented in home assistant? Is this a switch?

And what is your aim?

Should it be enabled if comfort kicks in or if the target temperatures of the climates don’t hit the current room temperatures?

This is switch to power on/off. I want to power on stove if the target temperatures of the climates don’t hit the current room temperatures and if temperature is ok power off

Forget everything and have a look here.

Hello,

Ive just started using this blueprint and I’m extremely impressed and grateful.

A few questions, that i’ve not quite worked out from searching here.

  1. Is it possible for away mode to put tado into away mode rather than an offset temperature.

  2. Window/Door open. I’ve noticed when i have went away, an open door in the room, stops the automation putting it into away mode, it may be my setup or this may be by design?

  3. Ive got presence detection in some rooms, just using an automation which toggles and input_boolean. Now I’m unsure exactly how this is meant to work with away mode and the three options that can be set.

what I’d like is away mode based on people to override everything, so if everyone is away and guest mode is off, everything is off.

Then when people or anyone is at home I’d like presence to put the room into comfort, and no presence into Eco. What is the best way to achieve this.

  1. I assume the calibration and offset part is optional, and does nothing if i don’t set a room temperature sensor entity? As Ive got tado room thermostats, which are set as the measuring device for the TRVs.

Thanks for your help, and great work on this!

Yes the nest thermostat is a climate entity

Thank you.
Now both suggestion works :slight_smile:

Is there a change log for 4.3 to 5.0? Do I really need to reenter all my 12(!) automations in 4.3 to upgrade to 5.0 /5.1 or can I stay on 4.3? When I compare 4.3 to 5.1 I only see cosmetics in the UI: moved sections, moved items within section, moved items from one section to another, improved controls.

Hi guys,
Not sure if this is the right spot for this. If Not I am sorry.

I want to use AHC Blueprint and can’t get the calibration working.
I set up my thermostat and the room temperatur sensor as well as the window contacts. I am using an Aqara E1 Thermostat via ZHA.
The automation for opening window and turning off the thermostat works fine.

In the calibration tab of the blueprint I set the timeout to 5 seconds (just to see if its working) and the calibration delta to 1°C.
My temperature sensor says its 21,5°C and the thermostat says its 24°C (due to the curtain hanging before the thermostat).
The thermostat is set to 23°C and not heating because the calibration is not working with the room temperature sensor.

I think my mistake is the calibration entity key word. I have no idea what to put there.

Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance and Greetings

Hi,
You have to find your termostat enity name responsible for calibration
Mine is - number.termostat_julia_local_temperature_calibration
Here you have the calibration entity key word - “calibration”

I think my problem is that I am using ZHA, I just found out there is no calibration for aquara E1 in ZHA. Is there another way of using my room temperature sensor to set the target temperature for my thermostat?
