Climate Automation Failing

Third party integrations
1

Hello,

Very new to HA and have been working on an HVAC automation for several days now that will not trigger the action to set the temperature in the thermostat. I am running HA (version 0.112.4) in a VM but most of the devices I have are coming through Samsung Smartthings Hub. The HVAC device is a Vivint CT100 and I am just trying to change the temperature based on time until I can learn how to make more complex automations.

I am still using the built-in automation tool instead of editing the automation.yaml file directly. When I look at the automation.yaml file the code below is what is there.

Thank you in advance for any help that can be provided, I’m sure it’s something simple and my in-experience is the issue.

  alias: HVAC Day
  description: Control HVAC system during the day
  trigger:
  - at: 08:00:00
    platform: time
  condition: []
  action:
  - data:
      entity_id: climate.main_thermostat
      hvac_mode: cool
      temperature: 78
    service: climate.set_temperature

Does the temperature get set if you manually trigger the automation (Configuration / Automations / Execute)?

Are you sure your timezone is set correctly (Configuration / Info, or Developer Tools / Info on older releases)?

It does not change the temperature when the automation is fired manually. In the logs it says the automation has been fired though.

The time zone is correct for my region.

I know your indentation matches the docs, but try this, which matches my temperature-setting automations that definitely work:

 action:
  - service: climate.set_temperature
    entity_id: climate.main_thermostat
    data:
      hvac_mode: cool
      temperature: 78
