Hello,
I’ve setup all of my heating zones as Generic Thermostat climate devices. Most of them use a separate zigbee thermostat and radiator valve so configuration has been pretty straight forward with the ‘target_sensor’ reading from the standalone thermostat:
platform: generic_thermostat
name: BathroomDown
heater: input_boolean.heatdemand_bathroomdown
target_sensor: sensor.stat_bathroomdown_temperature
min_temp: 5
max_temp: 21
ac_mode: false
cold_tolerance: 0.3
hot_tolerance: 0
min_cycle_duration:
seconds: 5
keep_alive:
minutes: 3
initial_hvac_mode: “off”
away_temp: 5
precision: 1
However for a couple of the rooms I would like to use the built in temperature measurement (less accurate) in the radiator sensor. They have a current temperature reading:
entity: climate.trv_kitchen
attribute: current_temperature
How do I reference the trv current temperature attribute in the ‘target_sensor’ field for Generic Thermostat?
I realise I can just run the trv as its own climate entity however for the purposes of integrating the two radiators into the rest of the system (boiler control automation etc) I’d like to keep the Generic Thermostat method for everything.
