Hi folks,
I’m currently trying to use a PWM-driven valve to control water flow from our distillery.
Now the problem:
output:
- platform: ledc
pin: 13
frequency: 3000Hz
id: ventcontrol
light:
- platform: monochromatic
output: ventcontrol
name: "Control"
default_transition_length: 0s
I can use this control to change the valve from homeassistant but not within a temperature-driven automation.
Here my attempt:
- if:
condition: #cooling not active
and:
- sensor.in_range:
id: temp_02
above: 40
- lambda: return id(varcooling) <= 0;
then:
- logger.log: "cooling off"
- lambda: id(ventcontrol).set_level(0.3);
- globals.set:
id: varcooling
value: '30'
Unfortunately the lambda won’t set the PWM-Output to 30%.
Is there a solution to my problem or does anybody knew a better solution?

Does this work?
- if:
condition: #cooling not active
and:
- sensor.in_range:
id: temp_02
above: 40
- lambda: return id(varcooling) <= 0;
then:
- logger.log: "cooling off"
- output.set_level:
id: ventcontrol
level: "30%"
- globals.set:
id: varcooling
value: '30'
Hi,

this is the complete automation.
As you cann see I check the temperature and want to change the valve if it is raising above 45°C.
Temp above 45° -> +5%.
Is the output.set_level usable with lambda-template?
found a solution.
I’m using
- light.dim_relative:
id: ventcontrol
relative_brightness: 5%
to change the value of the valve.
Everything is now working as intended.
