Got my boiler system integrated into HA using ESPhome and relays (6 different zones, 10 total zone valves). I’ve got an automation that locks out the boiler based on my weather station outside temp @ 65 degrees F:
- id: '1580599005490'
alias: Boiler Lockout
description: ''
trigger:
- above: '-50'
below: '65'
entity_id: sensor.el_rancho_estudiante_temp
platform: numeric_state
condition: []
action:
- entity_id: switch.relay_channel_1_2
service: switch.turn_on
The switch.relay_channel_1_2 is the boiler start/stop.
climate:
- platform: generic_thermostat
name: Family room
heater: switch.relay_channel_2_2
target_sensor: sensor.lumi_lumi_weather_12114a04_temperature
min_temp: 62
max_temp: 75
Turns on the zone valves for the family room.
My question is, along with the outdoor air temperature, is there any way to stop the boiler if none of the zones are calling? The boiler continues to run (it has its own loop, so it does have a “load”) but it seems unnecessary to have it run with no zones needing heat.
