A lot of ACs (e.g. Gree) have a so-called Auto mode, that is usually preselected when you don’t use the remote, but rather the physical button on the device to turn it on.
The Auto mode in my case sets the AC to a fixed temperature of 25 celsius, which is not always ideal both in Winter and Summer in my country.
That’s why I created an automation, and later - this blueprint - to help me solve this challenge.
The premise is - when the AC is detected to switch to this Auto mode (e.g. from Off->Auto), the blueprint will set it to your desired HVAC mode and temperature. E.g. I usually set it to “Heat” with 27 celsius in Winter and “Cool” with 24 celsius in Summer.
This is my first blueprint and first post to the forum, so be extra critical with your feedback. I’m all open to improvements.
