Area-based Increase or Decrease Target Temperature

Blueprints Exchange
1

This script is an Area-based variation of an entity-based blueprint to adjust a thermostats temperature setting relative to its current value. Scripts created with this blueprint will target all climate entities in one or more Areas.

In order to keep setup simple for the new user this script is intended for, it has a few built-in limitations:

  • When using heat_cool mode, the script can set either high or low target temp… not both.
  • While it can be targeted at multiple Areas, it will not work if the climate entities in those Areas use a mixture of heat_cool and single set-point actions.

Please post any issues you discover, I will happily attempt to correct them. However, please do not post requests to add features such as being able to use entities to provide the value for the temperature change or doing away with the limitations noted above. As stated, one of the primary goals of this blueprint is to keep the setup simple.

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.
