Hi all,
long time lurker and part time user of HA here. After a few years of partially playing with HA i have decided to integrate it my daily life. I have started with some basic light automation (some Tapo devices and some noname devices integrated with Tuya), 2 Samsung smart TVs, apple iCloud and everything works as expected. To bring HA to full potential i want to integrate Tado as well; been using Tado via their cloud and application for over 8 years and really satisfied with it. And of course, there is a wife included in story which also has to be able to use HA
Tado is already integrated in HA (smart wired thermostat and one TVR), and I have already implemented morning and evening automations which work without a flaw for 2 weeks.
Now i would like to bring Tado to new level by using HA and adding some features which are harder to use in Tado standalone application.
Little background to why I would like to implement what you will see below; my flat is being heated by gas boiler and we have underfloor heating in 60% of flat and 2 radiators (one controlled with Tado TVR). For those of you who might not know (really doubt on this forum people would not be aware but nevertheless) underfloor heating is really slow/sluggish in heating the space. I have set the temperature to 40 °C and it takes some time to start heating. Once it reaches set temperature it remains warm for really long time. Other than technology part we also have two toddlers (5 and 8) who are finally grown up and there is not so much need anymore for floor to be constantly warm. Additionaly we now have somewhat steady daily routine (going to work, school/kindergaden) and night routine (kinds bedtime around 21:30, parents around 23:30). Other main reason for adding this new features is regarding increased gas prices .
Below you can find a wireframe of what I would like to achieve, to be present on Dashboard for each of my heating zones (currently two zones, but working to add third and fourth):
For each of my heating zones I would like to add simple card which would show:
- Zone Name
- Current heating status (On/Off)
- Current temperature
- Predefined buttons to start heating to predefined temperature for predefined period of time; 30, 45, 60 and 90 mins
Idea around this is that in some occasions (wife earlier at home than expected, kids after school activities canceled due to bad weather and similar) it will be cold in flat and I would like to have possibility to set heating for predefined time and just forget about it. If i am cold again I will set it on again until daily routine kicks in (after 19 hours).
Sorry for longer post, wanted to share as much as possible information and maybe nudge someone else in same direction if they find it suitable for their needs. I played a little with mushroom-climate-card but was not able to achieve what i intended to.
