Hello everyone,
I’m currently working on a home automation project using ESPHome and Home Assistant, and I’m facing a challenge with integrating two ESPHome devices.
I have two devices:
- Floor Heating Actuator Controller: This device controls the actuators of my underfloor heating system. It includes a PID controller to manage the heating process.
- Room Thermostat: This device is intended to serve as a room thermostat, equipped with a display to show various environmental data.
The goal is to have the room thermostat display the target_temperature from the PID controller running on the actuator controller device. Both devices are successfully connected to Home Assistant, but I’m unsure how to configure them so that the thermostat can receive and display the target temperature from the PID controller.
Has anyone successfully implemented a similar setup, or could provide guidance on how to achieve this integration? Any advice or examples would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your help!
This is what I tried, but it dosen’t work
