I want to use globals to set the deadband and overrun values as I’m using these values in several other places in my configuration. I tried doing this using Lambda but I get a message stating that this is not templatable. Is there another way to acomplish this using globals?
Here’s a snippet from my config code and a snagit of what I see in the editor.
globals:
- id: gfDeadband
type: float
restore_value: yes
initial_value: '1'
# Example for global string variable
- id: gfOverrun
type: float
restore_value: yes
initial_value: '0.5'
climate:
- platform: thermostat
id: swamp_controller
name: "Thermostat Climate Controller"
sensor: temperature
humidity_sensor: humidity
visual:
min_temperature: 65 °F
max_temperature: 90 °F
temperature_step: .1 °F

min_cooling_run_time: 10s
min_idle_time: 10s
cool_action:
- script.execute: cool_low
idle_action:
- script.execute: cool_off
default_preset: "p1_80°F"

# cool_deadband: 1 °F
# cool_overrun: .5 °F
cool_deadband: !lambda "return id(gfDeadband);"
cool_overrun: !lambda "return id(gfOverrun);"
