Custom conditional schedules

[deamon (Deam0n)]

Hello all,

I’m migrating a custom domotics solution to HA. I’ve managed to use HA to replace almost everything, but I’m now struggling with the following:

I have a schedule picker like this:

where we can select 2 timeslots where a plug will be in state ‘on’

what I’m looking for is to implement a card where I can have the same (does not have to be a slider, it can be a normal hour picker ios/android style) and being able to use those values on an automation.

How can this be archieved with HA?

Best Regards.

I guess you’re looking for some scheduler component. Unfortunately - there’s nothing built-in into HA. I was surprised as well as this seems a very basic thing in automation.
I requested a feature and if you’re looking for a native HA scheduler - please vote for it here:

New Lovelace GUI card for per-day schedule actions

Hi there, Pretty a lot of people is surprised that there is no component in HA that allows user friendly setup of actions to be executed per week day. Basically some good looking and user friendly scheduler e.g. for thermostat control or other actions. Someone proposed to use netatmo scheduler as an example: https://my.netatmo.com/app/energy?demomode=true [image] [image] And I really like this design. I hope that one day we’ll get a new entity type in HA that will be represented with a GUI…

Of course there are various ways to achieve this in HA, but you need to build it yourself or use some solutions like schedy. I like to have control over things from UI, so I built it using input boxes for every day for my thermostat control.
Looks like this:

I uploaded it to github:

My solution is the following:

1. Create input_numbers as in https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/input_number/
2. Create sensors for the input_numbers:
   configuration.yaml

  aut_temp:
    min: 5
    max: 30
    name: Temperature
    icon: mdi:thermometer
  aut_start1:
    min: 0
    max: 23
    step: 1
    name: From
    icon: mdi:timer
  aut_finish1:
    min: 0
    max: 23
    step: 1
    name: Until
    icon: mdi:timer
  aut_start2:
    min: 0
    max: 24
    step: 1
    name: From
    icon: mdi:timer
  aut_finish2:
    min: 0
    max: 23
    step: 1
    name: Until
    icon: mdi:timer

sensor:
 - platform: template
   sensors:
     aut_temp:
        value_template: '{{ states.input_number.aut_temp.state | int }}'
     aut_start1:
        value_template: '{{ states.input_number.aut_start1.state | int }}'
     aut_finish1:
        value_template: '{{ states.input_number.aut_finish1.state | int }}'
     aut_start2:
        value_template: '{{ states.input_number.aut_start2.state | int }}'
     aut_finish2:
        value_template: '{{ states.input_number.aut_finish2.state | int }}'

Then on lovelace I’ve created a entities card with all the input_number:

Not quite the same as the original, but it’ll work!
Hope this might be useful to someone.
