Hi,
I’m new to home assistant so please bear with me on this one… after successfully installing Hassbian and including my devices (Aeotec Multisensor 6, Fibaro wallplug) using a Zwave usb gen 5 on a RPI3+ I wanted to create a simple automation - if temperature goes below X, turn on wallplug. Instead of re-inventing the wheel I read about the generic thermostat and tried to use it.
Though everything looks OK, the wallplug is never turned on if I select ‘heat’ (or the conditions for it to be on are fulfilled) in generic thermostat interface. I can, however, turn the wallplug off if it is already on through the same interface. I’m able to turn the wallplug off or on as a normal switch.
Any clue to what I have missed?
Config below:
Frostvakt
climate:
- platform: generic_thermostat
name: frostvakt
heater: switch.fibaro_system_fgwpef_wall_plug_gen5_switch_3
target_sensor: sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_temperature_3

Many thanks,
