Fan automation based on temperature

finity · June 5, 2019, 8:16pm

No.

You didn’t specify that in your last post above. you only said you wanted it to activate if you got home during those specified conditions.

That’s why I asked you to list all of the things in the way to wanted it to come on and the conditions required.

This should do it. I think…:

- id: 'Ventilatore_fan_on'
  alias: Ventilatore_Fan On
  trigger:
    - platform: zone
      entity_id: device_tracker.iphone_matteo
      zone: zone.home
      event: enter
    - platform: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.netatmo_cucina_temperature
      above: 24
  condition:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: device_tracker.iphone_matteo
      state: 'home'
    - condition: time
      after: '09:00:00'
      before: '21:00:00'
    - condition: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.netatmo_cucina_temperature
      above: 24
    - condition: or
      conditions:
        - condition: state
          entity_id: sensor.season
          state: spring
        - condition: state
          entity_id: sensor.season
          state: summer
  action:
    - service: fan.set_speed
      entity_id: fan.smartmi_fan
      data_template:
        speed: >
          {% set temp = states('sensor.netatmo_cucina_temperature')|float %}
          {% if temp > 24 %} Level 1
          {% elif temp > 26 %} Level 2
          {% elif temp > 28 %} Level 3
          {% else %} Level 4
          {% endif %}
    - service: notify.ios_iphone_matteo
      data:
        title: "Smart Home Alerts"
        message: 'Ventilatore ON - temperatura {{ states("sensor.netatmo_cucina_temperature") }} C'
    - data:
        effect: 'WhatsApp'
        entity_id: light.cucina_3
      service: light.turn_on

of course it should always work when matteo is at home even if he doesn’t go out for a day. that is, always when matteo is at home

rowdybeans · June 5, 2019, 11:15pm

For when I’m home, as well as the trigger @finity suggested, I have this automation to change the speed.

  - id: lounge_fan_speed_change
    alias: Lounge Fan Speed Change
    trigger:
      - platform: numeric_state
        entity_id: sensor.wirelesstag_lounge_temperature
        below: 28
      - platform: numeric_state
        entity_id: sensor.wirelesstag_lounge_temperature
        above: 28
      - platform: numeric_state
        entity_id: sensor.wirelesstag_lounge_temperature
        below: 30
      - platform: numeric_state
        entity_id: sensor.wirelesstag_lounge_temperature
        above: 30
    condition:
      condition: and
      conditions:
        - condition: numeric_state
          entity_id: sensor.wirelesstag_lounge_temperature
          above: 26
        - condition: state
          entity_id: fan.lounge_fan
          state: 'on'
        - condition: state
          entity_id: binary_sensor.people_home
          state: 'on'
    action:
      - service: fan.set_speed
        entity_id: fan.lounge_fan
        data_template:
          speed: >
            {% set temp = states('sensor.wirelesstag_lounge_temperature')|float %}
            {% if temp < 28 %} low
            {% elif temp < 30 %} medium
            {% else %} high
            {% endif %}

I’m sure there’s a way to make it neater and have only one automation. But, this works.

matteos1 · June 16, 2019, 11:10am

I have another question to propose:
how do i do this kind of action using date_template?

- id: 'Ventilatore fan on'
  alias: Ventilatore Fan On
  trigger:
    - platform: zone
      entity_id: device_tracker.iphone_matteo
      zone: zone.home
      event: enter
    - platform: state
      entity_id: sensor.netatmo_cucina_temperature
  condition:
    - condition: time
      after: '09:00:00'
      before: '22:00:00'
    - condition: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.netatmo_cucina_temperature
      above: 23
    - condition: or
      conditions:
        - condition: state
          entity_id: sensor.season
          state: spring
        - condition: state
          entity_id: sensor.season
          state: summer
    - service: fan.xiaomi_miio_set_natural_mode_
      entity_id: fan.smartmi_fan
      data_template:
        speed: >
          {% set temp = states('sensor.netatmo_cucina_temperature')|float %}
          {% if temp < 24 %} on
          {% elif temp < 25 %} on
          {% elif temp < 26 %} off
          {% else %} off
          {% endif %}

fan.xiaomi_miio_set_natural_mode_ can be on or off

finity · June 16, 2019, 11:28am

the template looks OK. It doesn’t make any sense but it is technically OK.

The issue you will run into is it’s going to start at the first if statement to see if it’s true. If the temp is less than 24 the result is on. If not it jumps to the next if. If that’s true then the result is on. Why not just say <25 in the first if and get rid of the second one.

then also if the temp is between 25 and 26 there is no difference between that and >26 so no reason for that step either…

you forgot the action: statement. and you also need to put the entity_id under data:

- id: 'Ventilatore fan on'
  alias: Ventilatore Fan On
  trigger:
    - platform: zone
      entity_id: device_tracker.iphone_matteo
      zone: zone.home
      event: enter
    - platform: state
      entity_id: sensor.netatmo_cucina_temperature
  condition:
    - condition: time
      after: '09:00:00'
      before: '22:00:00'
    - condition: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.netatmo_cucina_temperature
      above: 23
    - condition: or
      conditions:
        - condition: state
          entity_id: sensor.season
          state: spring
        - condition: state
          entity_id: sensor.season
          state: summer
  action:  
    - service: fan.xiaomi_miio_set_natural_mode_
      data_template:
        speed: >
          {% set temp = states('sensor.netatmo_cucina_temperature')|float %}
          {% if temp < 25 %} on
          {% else %} off
          {% endif %}
        entity_id: fan.smartmi_fan

matteos1 · June 16, 2019, 11:34am

could this service work?
Service fan.xiaomi_miio_set_natural_mode_on
Service fan.xiaomi_miio_set_natural_mode_off

service: fan.xiaomi_miio_set_natural_mode_
entity_id: fan.smartmi_fan
data_template:
speed: >
{% set temp = states(‘sensor.netatmo_cucina_temperature’)|float %}
{% if temp < 24 %} on
{% elif temp < 25 %} on
{% elif temp < 26 %} off
{% else %} off
{% endif %}

or i need another kind of syntax

this is complete automation

- id: 'Ventilatore fan on'
  alias: Ventilatore Fan On
  trigger:
    - platform: zone
      entity_id: device_tracker.iphone_matteo
      zone: zone.home
      event: enter
    - platform: state
      entity_id: sensor.netatmo_cucina_temperature
  condition:
    - condition: time
      after: '09:00:00'
      before: '22:00:00'
    - condition: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.netatmo_cucina_temperature
      above: 23
    - condition: or
      conditions:
        - condition: state
          entity_id: sensor.season
          state: spring
        - condition: state
          entity_id: sensor.season
          state: summer
  action:
    - service: fan.set_speed
      entity_id: fan.smartmi_fan
      data_template:
        speed: >
          {% set temp = states('sensor.netatmo_cucina_temperature')|float %}
          {% if temp < 24 %} 25
          {% elif temp < 25 %} 50
          {% elif temp < 26 %} 75
          {% else %} 100
          {% endif %}
    - service: fan.xiaomi_miio_set_natural_mode_
      entity_id: fan.smartmi_fan
      data_template:
        speed: >
          {% set temp = states('sensor.netatmo_cucina_temperature')|float %}
          {% if temp < 24 %} on
          {% elif temp < 25 %} on
          {% elif temp < 26 %} off
          {% else %} off
          {% endif %}

i think that speed is not correct

I have a question about the design of you automation’s trigger.

As written, it triggers whenever the temperature rises or falls at two thresholds: 28 and 30.

In other words, when temperature rises above 28 to 29, it triggers, and when it rises above 30, it triggers again. Similarly, when it falls below 30 to 29, it triggers, and when it falls below 28 it triggers yet again.

What’s the purpose of having two thresholds?

finity · June 16, 2019, 12:47pm

I have literally no idea what you’re trying to do.

I assumed you knew the correct service to use. Apparently you don’t.

I can’t tell you what speeds are correct. It’s your equipment. I would think you should know that.

and you completely ignored my advice on the template without explaining why I’m wrong.

matteos1 · June 16, 2019, 12:53pm

I apologize for not understanding what you love you were suggesting …
what I would like to do is if the temperature is below 26 degrees the fan.xiaomi_miio_set_natural_mode_on service should be activated.
if it is higher, fan.xiaomi_miio_set_natural_mode_off.
the speed part works fine.
I wanted to add the fan.xiaomi_miio_set_natural_mode_on service by comparing it with the temperature sensor.

matteos1 · June 16, 2019, 4:08pm

is correct?

@123 The trigger changes the fan speed.

Why not use a simpler trigger?

    trigger:

I see. Any state change would trigger it. That is a simpler solution. Thanks.

Jiran · November 24, 2019, 9:16pm

Please could anyone help? This is my automations.yaml:

- alias: fan on
  initial_state: 'off'
  trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.krb_teplota
    above: '45'
  action:
  - service: switch.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.ventilator
- alias: fan off
  initial_state: 'on'
  trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.krb_teplota
    below: '41'
  action:
  - service: switch.turn_off
    entity_id: switch.ventilator

but is not working. I also can´t edit his in HASS gui. Other automations run and I´m able to edit them even via GUI. Any idea?

finity · November 25, 2019, 1:25am

try removing the quotes from around the numbers in above: and below:

in order to make the automation editable in the ui it needs to have a unique_id included.

it can be anything as long as it’s unique and not capitalized.

- id: yghygygulfsrdrtrd765687
  alias:...

Jiran · November 25, 2019, 9:29pm

Thank you. But this is not the question. What could be wrong with this automation?

Tinkerer · November 25, 2019, 9:46pm

It’s turned off

Tinkerer · November 25, 2019, 9:51pm

Because you didn’t add an id: line - see here

finity · November 26, 2019, 12:19am

yes it was…

good catch. Didn’t even notice that.
