I have a 2441v (and came from indigo a year ago as well) and have found it isn’t well supported by the underlying Insteon python module or the Lovelace UI (as a climate entry). The climate.set_temperature does work for my purposes and I’ve started a PR to improve the library but haven’t really had much time to work on it.
Thanks for taking time for your comments While woking at this I have found that I can turn the thermostat on and off and set temperatures using scripts. So I am getting along the path. As you pointed out the thermostat card is totally no responsive. I am trying to get my arms around writing scripts. Right it seem to me like I can only have one scripts per device/entity. I guess I handle different parts of that with triggers. I am still pulling the string to see how to get information FROM an integration instead of only sending TO… Kind of funny I move away from Indigo because thee answer to everything was write a python scipt… and here i am playing with python… I was extremely comfortable with Applescript.
OK a month has gone by and , for most thing I Am sort of getting there, BUT. the only service I can get the thermostat to respond to is Off and On. Any clues on how to get the Climate Set Temperature to work??? Any help would be appreciated. I have tried using Develop to debug and Evan added a script (which works for off and on)
I set my thermostat temps and mode via:
- service: climate.set_temperature
entity_id: climate.thermostat_adapter_14_f8_55_group_1
data_template:
target_temp_low: 68
target_temp_high: 90
hvac_mode: "Heat"
Great!! I have no idea what I was doing wrong but thermostat is doing as good as a Dinosaur can get!!
The original question asked was:
The post you marked with the Solution tag doesn’t answer the original question (and that’s the sole purpose of the Solution tag, namely to identify the post that answers the question). The marked post explains how to set, not retrieve, the target temperature.
You are right , I guess I was so overjoyed on getting the thermostat to be ANYTHING like a thermostat I got carried away I am not sure there is a “solution” for my original question on this insteon device
I think this is the solution to your OP;
The current temp is: {{state_attr('climate.thermostat_00_00_00_group_1', 'current_temperature')}}
Which, BTW, I gleaned from this page;
https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/templating/#states
THANKS!! way cool I will have to give that a try. I am trying to rebuild the system. again
Yep Unfortunately my Themostat temperature is at 0. This device is top on my list to be upgraded
Ok its been a while and I am attempting to understand this more. From what I understand now. this is a template. (duhh that is where it was gleaned from). Editing it and running it in developer tool under the template tab as
The current temperature is: {{state_attr(‘climate.thermostat_adapter_14_13_39_group_1’, ‘current_temperature:’)}}
I get. the following response
The current temperature is: None
I can set thermostat using an automation. but for example I have it set for min temp and max temp at 75 and hvac mode to cool
developer tools show no change.
For some reason I can only talk to the adapter not get information from it. Well people said this adapter was weird
