I’ve got several heaters in our house. And I would like that I can have a genereal condition for them: The heaters should only be set to heating when the temperature outside is below a defined temperature. I know that I can add this to every automation that enables the heating. But this means, that when I mean that the temperature for the condition has to change, I have to change it on every automation as well. Is there a way to define some kind of constant for that temperature or even better: create a genereal condition for devices which allows the change for a state?
If there is a constant for that, would it be possible to expose this value in the ui and if I’d like to change that, that there can be used some kind of control for that?
Are you trying to use the outside temperature to turn the heater on or off?
Or are you trying to set the heaters thermostat to heat mode when the outside temperature is low, but the heaters thermostat still controls when it comes on.
The usecase is: If the real weather temperature is above 8 degrees (for example) all heaters should stay HLK on off. They shouldn’t be activated. Neither manually from the ui nor using an automation.
I’ve got several automations (doors or windows open/closed) which sets the HKL on the relevant heater when it’s opened (off) or closed (on). As there are many of these automations, I would avoid klicking through each of these automations if I’d like to change the value where heating will be allowed or not.
