Hi, Id like to start an automation for AC heat in my bedroom between the 20:00 and 23:00 and when the temp is below 18.
Right now Im using time pattern but Im not sure how to make it triggering until 23 then stop
Wont this solution waste efficienty? THis will trigger the automation every 10 min forever, meanwhile, wasting 6 more row it will be triggered only on those 3 hours?
Or AM I wrong?
It’ll trigger every 10 minutes, because that’s what you had. Almost certainly it’s not the best way to do it, but you didn’t share the rest of your automation.
That said the overhead, even on a Pi2, is irrelevant.
Ive implemented your solution and the automations keep going all the night waking me up 4 times ahahah, jeez. Dont know why but it just kept going at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 AM until I disabled it.
What could go wrong?
Ok, then I will use the trigger every 10 mins, also I guess the problem was that I didnt set my range time to be between instead of just before, also I didnt know that it just need one trigger to start the automation
