I have Home Assistant running as Docker on a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB.
I want a heating automation system that heats according to a schedule, turns off the heating when the window is open, and uses the room temperature from an external sensor as the target temperature. In addition, it would be good if the valve heated slowly and evenly and maintained the target temperature, rather than opening the valve fully and then turning it off again. What is the best way to implement this?
I have already tried Better Thermostat, but it only opens or closes the valve fully and does not turn it off when the target temperature is reached.
I also tried creating my own automation, but it couldn’t use the external temperature sensor or the window open sensor. Furthermore, only the heating was turned on, but when it was supposed to turn off, it stayed on. I implemented the schedule using a “Schedule” helper.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you very much!
