What other users are dong is creating a script for high and low speeds. They then use the script in the blueprint. High would be used in the Fan Switch input and low would be used in the Fan Speed - Switch Off input so then it will always be on low speed when it is done.
Make sure you select option 2 in Use The Fan Speed Options
I’ve got this blueprint implemented in 3 bathrooms in our house. In the first two I did, I have a Shelly relay controlling the switch on/off of the fan and a smart switch that I use for the manual trigger and manual switch entity, both configured as Option 2.
The third bathroom I did today. It is a shared bathroom with a door at either end. The adjoining rooms both have a 2 gang switch with one gang controlling the light and the other controlling the fan. I replaced both switches with Moes 2 gang zigbee smart switches. I’m using one switch as the control for switching the fan as it is directly connected to the fan, the other switch I am using as the entity for the manual trigger and manual switch in Option 2. There is no direct connection from this switch to the fan.
When I use the manual switch/manual trigger entity (the one with no direct connection) to switch the fan on, the fan comes on, but the switch immediately goes off again (as indicated by the telltale light going off) while the fan continues to run. I am then unable to turn the fan off again using the same switch. I think because it is automatically toggling off again, another attempt at switching is registered as a switch on, triggering the automation again.
The automation continues to run and the fan switches off after the auto switch off delay runs down, but it seems bizarre that the manual switch entity only seems to be able to turn the fan on and not off again.
I’m wondering if there is some conflict in the automation caused by using the same entity for both the manual switch and manual trigger?
If so should I just configure the entity for manual switch if I want to be able to manually turn the fan on and off?
Hi, Thanks for making stuff simple for me, looks like a great blueprint.
My question about your Bathroom Humidity Exhaust Fan blueprint is. I cannot see the time options as like you have for your Toilet Exhaust Fan blueprint is it possible for it to be added to your blueprint as I have an en-suite fan that I don’t want coming on between 11pm and 6am, which is unlikely given the way your automation appears to work as I don’t shower at those times. It would be nice to know for sure though that the fan won’t come on between those time.
Hi Philip, thanks for your suggestion. I have been using this for a few years now and never had a false trigger once it is all set up correctly. See how you go… if you really would like it disabled at those times you could create a schedule helper and add it into the bypass option 2.
Thanks for pulling this together. I’m having an issue setting up the Humidity Derivative. I followed everything, but it’s only showing 0.00 and doesn’t change. I’m using a Third Reality Zigbee Temperature and Humidity Sensor Lite. I mistakenly chose Temperature Derivative first and that seemed to work, but when I tried Humidity Derivative, all I get is 0.00.
Any items I can check to get this going? Thanks for helping a complete noob
We will need to look at your settings. In this link to the FAQ click here under Rising Humidity & Falling Humidity Settings heading it shows you how to add your sensors into a dashboard. Can you do that and then provide a screen shot of your graphs.
Can you also tell us how often the humidity sensor updates in HA.
To speed things up could you also provide a screen shot of your Humidity Derivative Sensor settings.
Thank you for the warm welcome, really enjoying the new learning here.
I was able to add the graphs and looks like I have a problem with them not uploading at all at the moment, I’ll have to remedy that. I did just reposition my home assistant yellow the other night as I was dropping Zigbee sensors in my garage, I’m wondering if I’m now having a problem here.
Where exactly can I find how often it is updating? I found on my main dashboard it says temp and humidity updated yesterday, so I know that’s a problem.
How far should we expect Zigbee devices to work in the house? I do need to add more that I already have to help with the mesh network. I’ll get on that too.
Let me try a second post as it says new users can only do one photo.
You can see your humidity sensor Master Bathroom Shower Humidity & Temp Humidity is one reading and never changes. Looks to be at 64.5%. This is very unusual as normally the humidity changes. In the example below you can see the humidity changing. Check your Master Bathroom Shower Humidity & Temp Humidity to see if this is correct also have a look in the Third Reality Zigbee Temperature and Humidity Sensor Lite device to see what entity’s you have.
Maybe it is not updating as to have the same humidity value for 2 hours is very strange and this will be why your Humidity Derivative Sensor only reads 0.00 as there is no change in humidity.
