@panhans I’ve been using the “proximity” add-on for integrations for some time now. Maybe I’m blind, but what do you mean by “proximity sensors” and how do you think I can achieve my goal with them in your blueprint?
For example if I want to setup an automation for a specific room based on proximity I would create a new proximity sensor - using the proximity integration - for this.
As you can see you can add as many people as you want. In this case the persons who belong to this room only.
If I need a 2nd specific proximity entity I just create another one. You can setup as many proximity entities as you like with as many people as you like in each entity.
So the flexibility is given by the integration itself. That’s why I don’t get why multiple proximity entities could be an improvement.

Hey, is it possible to display different variables from the blueprint? For example, I would send myself a message when switching from comfort to eco. Is that possible?
Can someone give me an example for custom action, don’t quite understand how it works yet: “Use the variable is_heating in your conditions. True means heating is active.”
Second question, how do I use “Heating Schedule Adjustments”?
If I create a schedule, for example for Monday 06:00 - 20:00 heating to 22 degrees, can I overwrite or adjust it again?
For example, from 13:00 - 14:00 set the temperature to 25 degrees? In theory, this would allow me to create a complete schedule.
Easiest way is to setup an AHC Template sensor. Then just create your automations based on this sensor. (on means → comfort temp is set)
Yes, for your example put this into the schedule adjustment field:
- time: "13:00"
comfort: "25"
- time: "14:00"
comfort: "22"

Hi,
is it a bug that the Static Comfort Temperature overrides the Comfort Temperature Helper when the schedule selector is changed?
I also can’t delete the Static Comfort Temperature.
Is it possible to control the Comfort Temperature only with the helper ?
thanks and regards
Hi, I can’t reproduce this problem. Did you enable reset comfort temperature in the tweak section? If not could you upload and share a trace log after the temperature switched over or at least your automation configuration in yaml?

hi, thanks for your fast reply.
yes reset comfort temperature is enabled.
Here is the trace:
https://controlc.com/061a29cf
and here you can see the comfort temperature helper changed:
This might be the “problem”. When switching the schedules and the active one turns off the comfort temperature gets reset to the static comfort temperature. So you have two options:
- both schedules must be turned on (overlapping) when the switch happens
- disable reset comfort temperature and reset / set it using e.g. schedule adjustments
//EDIT: maybe I have to split this: option for party inputs and for regular schedules

yes the solution was to disable reset comfort temperature
maybe I have to split this: option for party inputs and for regular schedules
yes that would be nice 
thank you very much

I think you would remove the static temp Option in the next Version, that you said a few month ago

NOW I understand what you mean! 
Using the “proximity” application, create a new “device” that also has a home address but only with the respective person.
Sorry, I wasn’t aware that it was possible. I think that with only 4.2% of Homeassistant users using this application, I’m not the only one who needs to know.
Thank you for the explanation!

Hello,
At first: A very good Blueprint! Exactly the Options I need.
Now I have a question about Presence Detection option:
I use a scheduler for my Bathroom + a presence Sensor.
My understanding was:
If I use the scheduler to set comfort Temperature + the Presence Detection and only activate presence away mode, the Offset will apply to the temperature set by the scheduler until a presence is detected, then the set comfort temperature without offset is active.
So to make it clear:
Scheduler is actice (set to comfort temp), somebody is at home, presence is not detected → My Expectation: Offset to Comfort temp should be applied, but this is not the case.
In my case this doesn´t work, the presence offset is ignored by scheduler - what is wrong here?
The scheduler operates for itself. That means if the scheduler is on → comfort is set. It’s not related to the presence detection.
I think you need to remove the scheduler from you scheduling configuration section and set it as your presence scheduler.
Ahh okay, now I understand, normal scheduler overrides the presence.
But is there a way to get the following behavior:
Scheduler for Comfort/ Eco Temp switch - so I want Eco temp during night.
In The morning a scheduler should set the comfort temp minus the presence offset for normal day temp.
If presence is detected, for example during shower. The comfort temp should be set.
Yes, just configure it as I said.
-
Presence Scheduler OFF → ECO
-
Presence Scheduler On + No Presence → Comfort - Offset
-
Presence Scheduler On + Presence → Comfort
I think this is what you want to achieve, right?
Yes thats exactly what I want to achieve.
Maybe I did something wrong - cause it works not that way.
After the schedule go to off, it doesn´t switch to eco temp, it stays at comfort - offset…
To be sure everything is configured the right way, I add a screenshot of my presence settings.
The standard scheduler section is empty.

Yes, you’re right. I will have a look into that issue.
//EDIT: Just pushed a small fix. Away mode has its own section now. Be sure you defined at least one person for your automation. If not just set an input_boolean for guest mode and turn it on. (Maybe I need to add a 3rd option so no person is needed in this configuration)
Thanks a lot, I reimported the Blueprint and see the extra section.
I defined 2 Persons already - so now the Awaymode should work like we discussed above?
I will test it the next days (today its way to warm to turn the heating on).
Yes, exactly. It works like described now but only if someone is at home. If not the temperature falls back to eco. If you don’t want that you need to turn on guest mode or set the schedule entity as heating scheduler additionally.

Is there any news on the handling of physical changes directly on the thermostat (manually changing temp of the thermostat or even using HA dashboard)? Is this possible now without breaking the other options?
