Hello,
!! UPDATE: This blueprint now supports window sensors and helpers for temperature and times as I now use this not only at home but also for room lettings !!
Unfortunately, this is not compatible with the old first version!
The idea came that we have each radiator in the house fitted with a TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valve).
Moes TRV
Also the basis is that we don’t want any room to cool down too much in order for the room not to lose too much heat but also for the heating to be efficient and faster spooling up.
Each room is also equipped with a Sonoff or Ikea Tradfri motion sensor to control the lights to some extend and we add the heating purpose to that here
So there are several factors considered in my motion controlled room heating.
The Base (ECO) temperature in my case 18 C, occupied room temperature 21 C or some even 22 C. The time of the day the system should work within and heat up the room as we don’t want it boiling hot at night, but also how long the heating should run for after last motion detected e.g.10min but it depends as with the TV room we don’t necessarily move a lot while watching a movie.
Problems? Yes, pets moving around the rooms. Solution don’t run the system at night and leave doors closed

I have also an automation running to lower the night temperature by a further degree which gets overridden by first movements in a room (or another automation to increase temp in morning).
!! With this new script it’s not needed anymore !!
