Hi,
I’m trying to control my thermostats’ target temperatures through some sliders and an automation that triggers when the sliders are moved:
alias: 'Heating, Day'
trigger:
- platform: time
hours: 08
minutes: 00
seconds: 00
- platform: state
entity_id: input_slider.heating_livingroom_day
- platform: state
entity_id: input_slider.heating_bedroom_day
- platform: state
entity_id: input_slider.heating_office_day
condition:
condition: template
value_template: '{{ 8 <= now().hour < 16 }}'
action:
- service: climate.set_temperature
data:
entity_id: climate.danfoss_z_thermostat_014g0013_heating_1_4
temperature: '{{ states.input_slider.heating_livingroom_day.state }}'
- service: climate.set_temperature
data:
entity_id: climate.danfoss_z_thermostat_014g0013_heating_1_3
temperature: '{{ states.input_slider.heating_bedroom_day.state }}'
- service: climate.set_temperature
data:
entity_id: climate.danfoss_z_thermostat_014g0013_heating_1_2
temperature: '{{ states.input_slider.heating_office_day.state }}'
When this triggers, I get the following error:
homeassistant.core: Invalid service data for climate.set_temperature: expected float for dictionary value @ data['temperature']. Got '{{ states.input_slider.heating_livingroom_day.state }}'
(also for the other thermostats)
It appears the template is not evaluated. But why?
What else can I do to set the temperature based on a slider value?
TIA,
Sebastian
