🔥 Advanced Heating Control

thank you for clearing that up for me!

The thermostat in my office does not have a calibration entity so it set it togeneric.

The thermostat in my livingroom does (at least i think its that). SO it looks like that:
AHC11


AHC13

What do i need to use as a keyword here?

Thanks for the help!

After update to newest Version i have this error in log:

expected HVACMode or one of ‘off’, ‘heat’, ‘cool’, ‘heat_cool’, ‘auto’, ‘dry’, ‘fan_only’ for dictionary value @ data[‘hvac_mode’]

Thanks for reporting. Update to the latest version, please.

hi
whatever you changed in this version to the latest 5.2.16, all my automations with an external temp sensor and generic calibration didn’t set neither eco nor comfort temp via a sheduler!

Or is it fixed with the 5.3.1?

Updated to 5.3.1 and it looks like its working again :slight_smile:

How can I switch the full automation off via the GUI?

I have open/close sensor on some of my windows, which stopped the heating.

Can I manually do this in any way?

I already tested with a binary helper sensor, but I can’t change the status of this.

Any ideas?

You can set the state of the sensor in the developer tools / state section. Filter for it, click on it, manipulate the state and click set state. Or you set an input boolean as a fake window.

Hi everyone,
thanks for providing this exceptional blueprint. I migrated away from better thermostat, since the temperatur was unreliable. But I currently am missing a nice way of controlling the room temperature. I was used to set up heating plans in Scheduler card and they also got this nice component better-thermostat-ui-card

Is there anyway to achive something similar, for the widget or the scheduling?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, for a few days now I have a problem with AHC. Whenever there is a change in the state of a scheduler, the respective thermostat will be set to off. It used to work properly for quite some time.
I am not sure if this is some kind of bug? I updated to 5.3.1, but that didn’t solve the problem.

It would be nice if somebody can point me in the right direction to solve that issue. - Thanks.

Hi, could you share a trace log? (First post, troubleshooting section)

Let me know if this is what you are looking for: https://controlc.com/f991f2f6

Thank you for your great blueprint.
I have several questions.

  1. For the Proximity option, I would like to be able to set the temperature separately with an input_number entity, which is controlled when I am outside the range. Is this possible?

  2. With the window open option, I would also like to be able to control the temperature using an input_number entity, is there a way to do that?

  3. At night I would like to lower the temperature, I use the window option with a time of day sensor, would it be possible to implement this as a single option?

  4. There is a holiday integration in HA, I would like to automatically treat the holidays like weekends. Is there a way to set that?

Thank you in advance for the help and thank you for the great blueprint.

Edit:
I also have to explain that I need another temperature in addition to the Comfort temperature when I’m at home. I use the Eco temperature for this.

Could you check the state of your outside temperature sensor if it is below you threshold temperature? Also try to remove it temporarily from your ahc configuration.

This really did the trick. I just realized that my outside temp sensor is unavailable.

Now I have another issue: For one of my AHC rules, the window sensor has an issue. The thermostat will be set to off when the window will be opened. However, the temperature won’t be set back to its previous value when the window has been closed.

I checked all the settings but couldn’t find any obvious error. Here’s the respective trace back: https://controlc.com/7b9e3032

Maybe this thermostat have problems when its state gets restored from a scene. Give legacy restore a try.

Legacy restore made it work. Thanks for your support!

First of all, thank you very much for all your work. Unfortunately, I can’t find a solution to my problem. I have a sonoff heating thermostat with an external temperature sensor and a window sensor. When the window is opened, the thermostat returns to the preset low temperature. If the window is closed, whether after a few minutes or hours, the temperature remains at the low value. Has anyone solved a similar problem?

Yes, actually exactly this problem has been solved in the previous post :wink:

i thought so too. but i have tried several settings, including the one mentioned above. The temperature is simply not reset.

Have a look into the troubleshooting section in the first post, please. You could also share the last 5 logs after closing the window.

I’m sorry, but the trouble shooting section couldn’t help. how can I select the logs, sorry for the question, I’m new in home assistant.
