🔥 Advanced Heating Control

[cyrielrct]

Hi everyone,
I’m starting to use this bleuprint. Do you have any good example to what can be done with Custom Action ?
can we send notification when temp is reduced because away mode or window open as example ?
Thanks

[panhans]

Could you share a trace log? I checked presence and scheduler away mode and both worked for me.

Thanks @panhans for this great piece of software.
I‘ve tried to use V5.0.rc1_2411011120

I‘ve imported the blueprint file advanced_heating_control_dev.yaml successfully. Semed to work for me in different configurations without problems.

But what todo/how to work with the file ahc_template_sensor.yaml ???

Sorry, but I am still learning HA

Regards Handfest

Hello, I have 10 thermostats and an Automation AHC v4.3.14 for each.

Spook keeps telling me that there is an error in the blueprint: This automation points to the following actions that Home Assistant is unaware of: tado.set_climate_temperature_offset

Is there really an error? I don’t use Tado and the entity really doesn’t exist.

Hello, just startet using our Blueprint.
It´s working fine for me.
Only question i have, is there a way i could use the default thermostat (Homematic IP TRV) to set the comfort temperature?

Advanced Heating Control

Hello everyone, I have reworked the complete code base the last few days, adjusted the selectors and added some minor functions and improvements such as aggressive mode over calibration automatic setting for Aqara/Xiaomi thermostats for external calibration The new code base should serve for further features and make maintenance and troubleshooting much easier. I have also changed the file name and recommend that you setup the automation from scratch as a few selectors have changed. If you…

Before I look for the calibration error again, I would first install your new version. Will it remain so that I can delete the old one?

[Rapha0000 (Raphael)]

Thanks. It is actually working. Just the temperature did not change for a while and the TRV showed some other temperature, where ever it got that from.
Maybe one-shot update the external temperature when the automation reloads/HA restarts?

sure was on the road

@Handfest

But what todo/how to work with the file ahc_template_sensor.yaml

Not needed. It’s just a sensor that offers some variables and states of the automation.

@David883

This automation points to the following actions that Home Assistant is unaware of: tado.set_climate_temperature_offset

Just search for “Spook” in this thread. In the next major release you won’t get this warning anymore. (You can ignore this.) Alternatively you can switch to the dev version of the next version.

@NoI3ody

You can enable “physical change / sync”. Be sure you setup entities for comfort and eco temperature. Note that this feature is some kind of experimental. (Don’t use it in combination with generic calibration or aggressive mode) In the next release it is more robust.

@Ohana_Means_family

Before I look for the calibration error again, I would first install your new version. Will it remain so that I can delete the old one?

Yes, it will remain but if it goes stable the code is provided by another file. But the migration is quite simple: You just need to edit the automation blueprint path when it’s ready.

@Rapha0000

some other temperature, where ever it got that from.

Did you enable aggressive mode over calibration?

[panhans]

Seems fine to me:

"is_away": true,
"temperature_comfort_of_entity": 21,
"temperature_comfort": 21,
"temperature_away": 20,
"target_temperature": 20

[stephanschleichstr13]

hmm, the thermostat had 21C - i will add now the “AHC Template Sensor v5” into the Dashboard

Edit: the Templte Sensor gives that error:
Logger: homeassistant.helpers.template

edit:
check this one { "trace": { "last_step": "action/2/default/4/if/condition/0", "run - Pastebin.com, here the trace values, but the thermostat has 22C

            "temperature_comfort_of_entity": 21,
            "temperature_eco_of_entity": 18,
            "temperature_comfort": 21,
            "temperature_away": 20,
            "temperature_eco": 18,
            "target_temperature": 21,

@stephanschleichstr13

trace values, but the thermostat has 22C

But in this case the away condition is false. (is_away: false)

[stephanschleichstr13]

are these values not the end values? are this whe values with them you work later (add calibration steps etc)?

[panhans]

Is this the thermostat temperature or the comfort temperature entity? Could you see in logbook what automation set this temperature? In the trace is nothing about 22°.
Try to change the thermostat temperature und execute the automation again. If the temperature is set to 22°C again, check the trace especially the set_temperature block. If 22°C was set just share this trace log, please.

[stephanschleichstr13]

22C is the setted temp on the thermostat comfort is 21C. yeah in the log is nothing thats why im struggeling
Is it normal that the Automation does not run when the comfort temp is reached? i setted 19C manuelly and run but he does not change the temp back to 2xC

the Logbook is emty, i will check it again later
