Try adding quotation marks around temperature. Soā€¦

below: '20'

You do not have to deal with automations to achieve this result. Just use the generic thermostat platform

Great to know.

I have Netatmo thermostats that I want to give back. Instead I will just use a temperature sensor and a simple switch.

The switch will need to short circuit (or keep open) two simple wires (thatā€™s what a 150 euro Netatmo thermostats does).

Which switch can i use?

You can use any switch. Everything that reports itself as a switch - sonoff, z-wave, RPI rf, you name it!

6

Yes yes, but hardware wise what is more appropriate?

Think that no power is present. Only 2 thermostat wire (switch has to be on battery)

Thank you. Its works now :slight_smile:

Is there a way to combine the generic thermostat with the Honeywell Climate component?

We have several rooms with a Xiaomi Temperature sensor and only one central thermostat in the living room.

Iā€™d like to be able to temporarily turn on the heating in case one of the rooms is too cold. This would be done by invoking the climate.set_temperature service on the Honeywell Climate component to e.g. 25 Ā°C to make sure the heating kicks in.

By doing so e.g. the room upstairs would become warm and when the target temperature is reached, the climate.set_temperature service is invoked again setting the thermostat to e.g. 21 Ā°C.

Well, you have to see what power is needed and find an appropriately ā€œsizedā€ switch, that wonā€™t be overloaded by too powerful current.

10

You can achieve this with automations and maybe use the ā€œmin/max sensorā€ so you can get information about all the rooms, unless itā€™s just that 1 room thatā€™s always colder than the rest.

11

Switch will need to be on battery. Zero current

Thank you for the feedback @kirichkov. No problem to do it using automations, Iā€™ll give that a try. The Generic Thermostat just seemed to good to be true for my use case :blush:

How i can add more heater in my scene ?
This code its wrong :confused:

climate:

  • platform: generic_thermostat
    name: Study
    heater: switch.plug_158d00010ee85c
    heater: switch.plug_158d00010ac688
    heater: switch.plug_158d00010aa409
    target_sensor: sensor.temperature_158d00010fb2e5
    min_temp: 18
    max_temp: 25
    target_temp: 21
    tolerance: 0.3
    min_cycle_duration:
    seconds: 5
    keep_alive:
    minutes: 3

Yes, it is. You can use only one heater. Iā€™d suggest you try either of the following:

  1. Create a group with all heaters inside, and try using that as a heater:
  2. Just add one heater, and then using automations switch on/off the other heaters, when the ā€œMasterā€ heater is switched on/off by the Generic thermostat
