Hi all, I’m looking for a way to set a variable for my air conditioner fan_mode, based on what time it runs.
What I would like to achieve in my blueprint is that (metalanguage below):
action:
- choose:
- conditions:
- condition:
if time in range(09:00:00AM ~ 21:00:00PM): then
set fan_mode: low
elif time in range(21:00:00PM ~ 09:00:00AM): then
set fan_mode: auto
Here below the full current blueprint snippet:
blueprint:
name: Automatic A/C Control based on Temperature
description: "## Fan ON/OFF Automation based on temperature, outside temperature.\n\nFan
turns on if the following conditions are met:\n temperature inside greater than
your set threshold value\n temperature outside is lower than your set maximum
value (to prevent turning the fan on in winter)\n\nFan turns off if the following
conditions are met:\n temperature inside is lower than your threshold value minus
the hystersis value\n What the automation **NOT** observes:\n manual fan control.
Adapt the given values too your needs.\n If you manually turn the fan on and
the inside temperature is below the threshold your fan will turn off soon.\n\nWhat
you need:\n a fan entity. if you control your fan via a switch entity (via smart
plug for example) you can create a template fan entity.\n sensor entities for
inside and outside temperature. (if you want to use the weather domain than create
a template sensor from the temp attribute)\n Inspired by Sam04"
