Luckily i still not to heat my rooms till now.
@panhans did you made anything regarding the Bosch calibration, last year i had to use generic calibration. Would be nice to implement the calibration itself.
I have got a similar issue at the moment. Having set up my Tuya TS0601 TRVs on PID mode at the moment, every time I open windows (external windows sensor) the temp is set lower, after closing the windows comfort temp is restored - all done by AHC.
The “jump” in set temp makes my TRVs (on PID mode) to open 45%, whether it is needed or not. I believe that their logic says: “Someone pumped up the set temp - so someome feels cold and wants additional heat, no matter the actual temp”.
Maybe the Danfoss are “thinking” the same way.
@panhans
My TRVs are supporting HVAC modes: auto/heat/off.
AHC should turn the TRVs to off or at least to their minimum temperature if they don´t support hvac mode OFF, when windows open is detected. At least this is how understood the description part in AHC.
My TRVs are set to the set to the window open temp as set in AHC. For my use case max. choosable value of 15°C is also too low.
But they are not set to OFF when window open is detected. They stay on HVAC mode AUTO and are set to 15°C. But I´d like them to be set off.
Did the logic change? (or did I find a ?)
There are multiple facets to determining if a room is occupied or not. Have a look here for guidance on how to create some really useful state-based template sensors. Skip to 18:39
YES, finally it works! Target temp going way up now as sadly needed here.
- many thanks for the hint and of course the effort of writing and maintaining this blueprint.
Strangely the automatically installed blueprint only had 2262 lines, even though the same version number. I just replaced it with the github version and thus found the lines in question and could edit them.
I’ll monitor this for a while and maybe even try to use the in-thermostat thermometer offset again. When I last did, it crashed when using non-int values and went straight up to +10° when using rounded values, so there is something weird going on, maybe with the data types, when communicating with the dreaded Nedis-Thermo. Well, that’s for another day…
You have to set the Window Open Temperature to 0°C if you want to turn them off when window is open.
Someone came across and needed a higher temperature when airing because it is very cold there in winter and there is a risk of frosting.
@nberndt when importing blueprints home assistat shrink and stitch them together (whitestpaces ect.). So it gets much “smaller” but harder to read. Best way is to take the github version, edit it and overwrite just the content of the already imported blueprint.
Hey there,
I just started using the automation and it is already super cool, but I wanted to make there some personal changes just individually for my type of using it. Tried to “Take control” at the automation but just got the following error in the picture. Does anyone know what to do?
Thanks in advance.
Thank you for clarifying. Works as expected now.
Setting my TRVs to OFF when windows are open prevents the “jump” in set temp (set temp/comfort temp is not changed during OFF) and no more unneeded heating occurs.
Maybe change the description at some point.
@Michael_Dahl
Maybe there is a way to set your Danfoss Ally TRVs to OFF at the end of your “normal” scheduler.
Try to overlap the presence schedule with the normal schedule.
Normal schedule: 08:30 - 21:30
Presence schedule: 21:00 - 3:00
When the normal schedule ends the presence state is already evaluated as true if the room is occupied.
Hi!
First of all thank you very much for this great automation.
I have a question regarding comfort and room temperature. When I disable the room temperature and set no treshold my thermostat won’t be set to my comfort temperature. So the thermostat stays off even though the temperature at the thermostat is below my comfort temperature and the shedule is on.
When I add an room thermostat and a treshold (nothing else changes) the thermostat is set to the comfort temperature and the heating starts. But it only stops at the value of the room thermostat treshold, not at the value of the comfort temperature. So for example if I set the room thermostat treshold to 21,5° and the comfort temperature to 23° the heating stops at 21,5° room temperature. If I set the comfort temperature to 20° the heating doesn’t stop at 20° and stays on until room temperature reaches 21,5°.
So the flexible comfort temperature doesn’t really do anything for me, which is probably not the way the automation is intended.
I have to traces and automationsettings one with room temperature and one without. Any help would be appreciated. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

With Room Temperature Sensor and Treshold: https://controlc.com/4308757e
What do you want to achieve? This option is useful for cooling but not for heating. (see the description )
If you want to turn off the thermostats if the room temperature mets the target temperature there is a tweak Off If Above/Below Room Temperature.
Just the second one. I want both thermostats to turn off when the room temperature is reached.
But do I have to set a sensor for the room temperature or stops the automation when the temperature at the thermostat is reached?
Enable the tweak I’ve mentioned and select a room sensor in the calibration section.
The sensor in the on/off section isn’t needed. I will clean this up with the next version. Atm. this only works with an external sensor and not the thermostat temperatures.
I have written the Suppoer from Aqara. See picture what the ! says. In addition, AHC sets the wrong temperatures. I have written the Suppoer from Aqara. See picture what the ! says. In addition, AHC sets the wrong temperatures.
This error occurs again and again. I have to take the batteries out to reset the TRV, that with 10 TRV’s.
Yesterday I noticed that it should switch from 20 °C to 22 °C in the kitchen, for example, when someone comes home. But it was set to 21.5 °C. According to the automation, it should be 22 °C.
hey guys,
i have defined an outside temperature sensor for all my automations. if the temp is below the threshold all automations start working as they should. But if the temp is above this threshold some of the automations didn’t trigger to go to “off”! What could that be?
Thanks for your assistance! Sadly it still doesn’t work. Here is a Screenshot of my “comfort temperature” (left), the room temperature (middle) and my thermostat (right)
here is the configuration and trace: https://controlc.com/7933e024
Okay! Managed to fix it! The problem was (as it is so often) in front of the screen.
I deleted and rebuild the automation and added the sensor to the calibration and now everything works as intended. Probably made a different mistake somewhere down the line before. Guess thats why it wasn’t working.
Thanks again for your awesome blueprint and for your customer service.
Have great weekend!
Sorry, does not work
Hello people
I use the Mitsubishi WF-RAC Integration to control my AC within HA.
I like to use this automation, but have a minor problem.
The integration supports the following modes:
hvac_modes: off, auto, cool, dry, heat, fan_only
I tested running the automation in “auto” mode, this sets the AC into auto mode.
But the downside of my AC in auto mode: is when heating to target and the temp overshoot the target the AC start cooling again. This is a bit waist of energy.
Now I set automation into heat operation, this work like a charm.
But when summer arrive I need to manually set automation to cooling operation.
My question is, can the automation be modified to work in heat and cooling mode?
Not HVACMode.HEAT_COOL this is not supported by the integration.
Thank you in advance.
Hello,
I have the following error message in Home Assistant running on a PI5:
Logger: blueprints.panhans.heatingcontrol
Source: components/system_log/__init__.py:331
First occurred: 22:01:34 (3 occurrences)
Last logged: 22:01:34
AHC - To make Advance Heating Control work properly just setup the Uptime integration.
I don’t really understand this error message. Everything seems to be working fine, so I’m not sure if it’s something I need to address. Can someone tell me how to resolve this?
