Hi,
I made an automation that controls heating thermostat (zwave danfoss). Following table shows the scenarios it covers (eg. switch off when windows open, away mode, work home mode)
How it works?
I can schedule time of the day, when the heating is on, and off. This saves a lot of evergy vs heating all day. Additionally, whenever I open windows in the room, the heating goes copmpletely off. When I close the windows, the heating adjusts to the temperature which depends if it is heating active time, I am away, or work from home.
When I don’t go on holidays (away mode off) temperater goes from normal temperature to reduced temeprature (i.e. in the night or during the day when I am at work).
Currently, I use following temperature values:
off temp: 8
away temp: 16
reduced temp: 19
normal temp: 22
Here is the automation script based on one room called (“Leona”) with 2 windows. If I want to copy it to other rooms, I just copy paste it and replace the physical devices entity_id with what is there in the room.

I bet this is not the most efficient way to achieve similar result so I am open to any suggestions for improvement. I am actually wondering, if anyone knows any good design workflow, that allows to make sure I have covered all the scenarios and there are no potential deadlocks in the conditions.
Based on tests in real life, everything works well, but I don’t have full certainty.
