I use Ecobee for my HVAC controller and I noticed on their published API that they have the ability to create vacations.
Using Node-Red or HA automations, it would be nice to be able to set that you are going on vacation and have your HVAC and other entities go into vacation mode.
As well as the reverse situation, if you come home and turn off vacation mode, Ecobee could then revert back to the normal schedule.
I would second this! I’m trying to automate vacations using Google Calendar. I can set the preset_mode to “HASS Vacay” but it reverts to the regular schedule when there’s a scheduled change. I know there’s a setting with Ecobee to fix this but I don’t want to change that (I like it reverting to the schedule if I make a temporary tweak). I don’t want to use “away mode” for vacations because I use that for other purposes.
