Hi folks,
I’ve been using the following automation successfully for a while, but one of the last updates seems to have broken something:
- alias: 'Bei offenem Badfenster Heizung aus'
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d00016571fd
from: "off"
to: "on"
for:
minutes: 2
condition:
condition: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d00016571fd
state: 'off'
action:
- service: input_number.set_value
data:
entity_id: input_number.temp_heating_bathroom_saved
value: "{{ sensor.danfoss_devolo_home_control_radiator_thermostat_temperature_3 }}"
- service: climate.set_temperature
data:
entity_id: climate.danfoss_devolo_home_control_radiator_thermostat_heating_1_3
temperature: 7
- service: notify.Telegram
data:
message: "Badfenster ist auf, Heizung ausgemacht"
If the sensor state turns from off to on for more than two minutes the current temperature should be written to the input_number and the heating turned down to 7°C.
Alas, it doesn’t trigger anymore. Any help out there?
The reverse (setting the thermostat when the window has been closed for 5 minutes) works:
- alias: 'Wenn das Fenster wieder zu ist, dreh die Heizung wieder auf'
trigger:
# Badfenster länger als 5 Minuten geschlossen.
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d00016571fd
from: 'on'
to: 'off'
for:
minutes: 5
condition:
# Temperatur unter 20 Grad C
condition: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.temperature_158d00022cc550
below: 20
action:
- service: climate.set_temperature
data_template:
entity_id: climate.danfoss_devolo_home_control_radiator_thermostat_heating_1_3
temperature: "{{ states('input_number.temp_heating_bathroom_saved')}}"
- service: notify.Telegram
data_template:
message: "Badfenster ist zu, Heizung wieder auf {{ states('input_number.temp_heating_bathroom_saved') }}°C gestellt."
Any help out there?
Best,

I thinkf this is your issue:
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d00016571fd
from: "off"
to: "on"
for:
minutes: 2
condition:
condition: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d00016571fd
state: 'off'
you automation triggers when the sensor changes to on, then you have a condition that checks that the sensor value is off. It can’t be on and off at the same time

Thanks. I feel so dumb now
It works now.

Followup on this - what still doesn’t work ist the saving of the current temperature. I would like to save the current temperature to an input_number and restore it when I close the window.
For some reason the current temperature doesn’t seem to get written to the input_number. I tried using both data and data_template but neither seems to work.

That’s never going to return a number, so how it worked before I don’t know. The correct one would be:
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.danfoss_devolo_home_control_radiator_thermostat_temperature_3') }}"
You can test these in the Templates tool under Developer Tools.

Thanks, I found it out myself and updated the post above yours.
What’s the difference between states('…') and states.… ? From what I read I though it would be synonymous, but apparently it isn’t.
Oh, and it didn’t work with value_template, I needed to use value.

The difference is explained in the templating docs . In short, states('...') returns unknown if the entity doesn’t exist, where states...state just throws an error.
