Climate temperature profile up to 10 points per day

Blueprints Exchange
1

Here is a blueprint for setting the temperature of thermostat-entity at specific time to specific temperature. There is a flag to active or deactivate the profile and selection if the profile has to be active at ‘on’ or ‘off’ value of the flag.

You could for example use a “weekend” flag and define two automations with ‘on’ and ‘off’ selection. So you will additionaly get a profile at workdays using one input_boolean or binary_sensor only.

In my case I switch between two different temperature profiles in dependency on the occupation of the room.

If the value of the flag changes, the last temperature of the activated profile is set, as it would be active all the time.

Have fun.

Can you add days also, as an example
on Saturdays and Sundays at 10 AM set heating to 20C, at 11:59PM set to 16
On Weekdays (Mon-Fri) set heating to 20C at 8AM and at 10PM set to 16

In this case you will need an additional selection for each time, if it is a weekend or not. Due to this reason of simplicity I’ve included “activity flag”. You need in this case two automations with my blueprint: one for the weekend, and one for the workdays.
As activity-flag you select the binary_sensor for the weekend. In my case it is:

binary_sensor:
  - platform: workday
    country: DE
    workdays: [mon, tue, wed, thu, fri]
    excludes: [sat, sun, holiday]

In the temperature-profile for the weekend you set “active when” to “off”, in the temperature-profile for workday you set “active when” to “on”.

If you use “binary_sensor” you have to change within the blueprint “input_boolean” to “binary_sensor”

active_flag:
      name: Activity flag
      description: Binary_sensor as condition for execution
      selector:
        entity:
          domain:  binary_sensor

If you want to use this blueprint to set 2 temperatures only, this blueprint is probably “overkill”

I want to ask you a very huge favour,
Is is possible to add under the “Automation is applied when activity flag is equal to”
and add a option aswell like this:

temp_sensor:
      name: Temperature Sensor
      description: Temperature Sensor to check temp outside
      selector:
        entity:
          domain: sensor
          device_class: temperature

so it basically creates a box so i can select my outside temp sensor.

because time_1 till time_5 its only a time selectable, i just want to have a temperature selected instead that compares with the new added temperature device.

So for example:
time_1 should be called temp_1 so i can select the temperature.
SO when outside hits for example 2 celcius and i setup the slider at temp_1 on 21 than it should set my thermostat to 21…
and so on for more value’s

maybe you can add this option to it that would be even better.

i really don’t know where to start but it will save a lot of energy issue’s

many thanks !!!

Ok, I see. I do not have a solution for the moment, have to think about it.

A quick and dirty way, would be for example, to define, let say, 2-3 binary_sensors, triggers to “on” in a given range on temperature and use three automations.

i.e.

binary_sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      very_cold:
        friendly_name: "very cold"
        value_template: >-
          {{ float( states('sensor.temperature_outside') , 0)  < -5 }}
      cold:
        friendly_name: "cold"
        value_template: >-
          {{( float( states('sensor.temperature_outside') , 0)  < 0 ) and (( float( states('sensor.temperature_outside') , 0)  >= -5 )) }}
      warm:
        friendly_name: "warm"
        value_template: >-
          {{ float( states('sensor.temperature_outside') , 0)  >= 0  }}

That binary_sensors you can use that as the “activity_flag = ON” for the automations (each for separate automation).

I know, it is not what you wanted, but your issue it not so easy to solve quickly.

The problem I see in your case, how to trigger once at given temperature. If you use something like “below 2°C”, your sensor will trigger at any change of the temperature value below that point. If you use the trigger like T = 2°C, you can miss the exact value.
And remember: template-triggering in blueprints (with selected entities) is still not possible, as I know

Many thanks,

i have an idea i will make a blueprint based on yours and other ones i will share it once its ready.

thanks for the info
