Hi
I would like to create a button on dash board which when pressed turns on the heating for an hour and then turns off my heating automation which is already running. After the hour period. The boost button stops and the automation for the heating will carry on as normal. Simulating the boost option you get on a standard thermostat.
I have had no luck just going round in circles any ideas would be very much appreciated
Hiya
I used an automation that uses a timer to do this. I have a 1 hr boost button and a 2 hr boost button.
this is my automation
alias: Heating Boost (1hr)
description: "Turn Heating On, set temp of 22 for 1 hr then turn off. "
trigger:

This also checks to see if we are home and sends notification when it starts and when it stops. i also have another button that can cancel timers and boost.
It works quite well. it probally could be done better but it work😁
Hope this helps
Let me no if ya need anymore info
cheers mate
that looks awesome. ill look at trying to use it. have you created a list of devices call ally_paul_devices? and what is rrs.cloud_say used for mate
Yeah
ally_paul hust lets me notify both of us. its a group i have had setup in configuration.yaml for forever😁
- platform: group
name: ally_paul_devices
services:
- service: mobile_app_pixel_7_pro
- service: mobile_app_allys_1_phone
the tts.cloud_say is to anounce it on my wee google display. i also do a persistant notification in home assistant. that also shows on phone. just lets ya see when it starts and finishes
You also need a wee timer helper setup for each boost. set them up in your devices&services/helpers
make sure you have restore ticked. means that if reboot happens during timer it will remember where it was
again.
Need any help ya know where i am
