Hello! I still can not figure out how to manage all climate components by one card. Like I choose 23 degrees and Home Assistant automatically does what should be done to set that temperature in each room.
Maybe there is no such component yet and I should wrote it to feature requests?
I only found schedy but it seems to be complicated and uses appdaemon.
It’s not exactly clear what you want to do. It sounds like you want to have a frontend “slider” entity/card that you can change, and then you want the value of that entity to be used to set the target temperature of multiple climate entities. Is that it? If not, please provide more details.
Guys, any help on that?
I am thinking about UI slider to choose the temperature, then it is set on a/c and then when needed temperature will be reached - a/c turns off
So I need an automation which will take a number from UI, send it to a/c and wait until temperature at the room will be needed then turn a/c off
I am mostly frustrated with part of setting needed temperature to a/c. It should be data_template but I do not really understand how to make that
Doesn’t your climate entity already have controls for that? E.g., here’s what my nest thermostat looks like in the frontend. To change the temperature set point you simply move the dot around the circle.
Floot thermostat does exactly that, but not a/c. Don’t know about yours, but mine seems to be an idiot
When it cools the room to needed temperature It will not stop. It will just fan and waste electricity. And in most cases it even will go lower than needed temperature (I set up 23C (73F) it reaches 23C but continues cooling the room down)
It does sound like your A/C thermostat isn’t working correctly. But, I think I understand what you’re trying to do. I’d suggest something like this:
Hey there! I have a little bit different case now. I was not sure if I could do that, but it seems to be plausible.
I would like to emulate a thermostat with home assistant
If temp is less than slider’s - turn the relay on. Turn the relay off when temperature is one degree above slider’s (or something like that)
I am going to buy electric valves which are controlled by relays. When electric valve is open - temperature is getting higher, closed - temperature is getting down. So I would like to set needed temperature from UI and HA to control the relays.
Will your automation with little difference work here?
Thank you for coming back here
Actually I am having trouble with turning off a switch by a slider. I can not still test your part of automation, but I am testing part with turning on and off by choosing the temperature on a slider
This one does not work. There is 23 degree and I choose 19 on a slider. But the same thing works if I use “<” not “>” and choose higher temperature (25)
It’s not clear what “doesn’t work” means to you. But the first question is, why are you using the input_number as the trigger? This means it will only trigger when you change the input_number, not when the temperatures change.
I use 4 automations now.
First two triggers are - room temperature getting lower or higher than set temperature
And more two triggers - set the temperature on slider.
I need them both to work. Now I am stuck with turning on and off “heater” by setting up the temperature on slider.
