Aqara RTV E1 setting

Configuration
1

Hallo,

i am new to Home Assistant and i need some help to configure my Aqara RTV E1.

The main problem is, that i dont know, what i should choose as trigger and action. It seems, that in the given list of possibilites, there is no option that fits for my task. Here is some example:

I want to start heating, as soon as the room temperature drops to e.g. 18°C. The only option might be “measured temperature of RTV changed”. But i am not sure of that. (Where do i find explanations for the given list and its options?)

The action should be opening the valve and start heating,but i cannot find a fitting option here.

Btw, i am using homeassistant in german language :wink:

Can anybody help me with this easy setting?
Thanks! Tobias

If you ONLY want to adjust the heating based on the current temperature, you don’t need to do anything.
You can just set the target temperature on the dial in the overview dashboard.
The thermostat will then try to maintain that temperature all by itself opening and closing the valve as needed.

If you want something more advanced, such as turning down the heat during the night you need to create an automation.

For this example you do the following:

  1. Create a Helper of type Schedule.
    In that schedule you define which time intervals you consider “day” such as mon-fri 07.00-22-00 and sat-sun 09.00-23.30.
    Or whatever.
  2. Next create two automations.
    The first should have a trigger of the previous schedule changing to “on”.
    The action should be the call of a service. Point to the E1 and select “Set target temperature”. Then enter for example 21 degrees.
    The second should have a trigger of the schedule changing to “off”.
    the action should be the same as before but perhaps with a setting of 17 degrees.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

that was already very helpful. But something is still not right, as in not working. Maybe you could look over the script of my automatisation and hopefully detect an error? Thank you!

Oh.

Sorry!!

I had not seen that you had asked me a question.

I am not using a script.
I have just made a simple automation through the GUI.
