Hi guys, I need some help with scenes. I got a couple of thermostats attached to my radiators. They are working well and I can switch the HVAC mode and target temperature when in auto mode.
However, the thermostats apparently can’t handle two actions at once i.e. switching the mode to auto and setting another target temperature which completely ruins scenes. Is there any workout to this?
I can use an automation with a delay however don’t see a convenient way to trigger them from the dashboard.
Put it in a script (same as an automation without a built-in trigger) and call the script from the tap_action: clause as a service call from any card that supports it.
Yeah scenes are quite limited. I moved all mine to scripts.
Scene:
Supply a list of entities and the states you want, nothing else. The scene translates this into an action.
Script:
Specify the state of any entity by using an action (so same as above but you need to know/look up the correct action to use). However this also gives you access to all of these actions too: Script Syntax - Home Assistant
