Hi I added my Xiaomi temperature to HA.
It’s added three new entities (temp / humidity / battery), there is a way to create new device with these entities?
There is no UI way to do that and I cant understand how to do that using this guide (if this is the correct one):
thanks.
Only integrations that support ‘config flow’ can add devices to HA. Integrations that are configured in .yaml can not. I don’t know how you added your Xiaomi temperature to HA ? if using Zigbee2mqtt, a device should have been added, but if you used another integration possibly not.
ok, so how should I add an automation?
I want for example to turn on the AC when the temperature is high, but I can only select a device on the automation page, not an entity. I am missing something?
You are missing something. A device is not required to create an automation. In you example, I suggest a numeric state trigger.
@francisp I found another way, I am able to attach my entity to a scene and apply the scene on the automation. thanks!
Whatever the scene does, you can do that in the automation also.
Having a scene will only add a step and make it much harder to maintain and follow later on
