I have a Honeywell T6 Pro zwave thermostat installed in a HUBITAT controller. I would like to set up an automation that triggers when the AC System is in the cooling mode. In HUBITAT I can see the state * thermostatOperatingState :cooling.
I cannot find a way to automate a device to trigger when the AC goes into cooling mode - using HUBITAT automation rules, HOME ASSISTANT automation rules or NODE RED.
Any ideas how to “access” the thermostat STATE * thermostatOperatingState :cooling?
Thanks for any assistance!
After posting the above - I continued to search for a solution and “stumbled” onto RULE MACHINE in HUBITAT. This allows me to select the Thermostat and the operating state as a TRIGGER.
That data should be in an attribute of the climate entity called hvac_action
I use three Honeywell T6 Pro in my house. I use Floorplan and it all works great.
I created a sensor in the sensor.yaml to get this attribute.
this is the current action or state as you called it.
- platform: template
sensors:
thermostat_first_action:
friendly_name: "First hvac status"
value_template: >-
{% if states("climate.first_floor_thermostat","") != "off" -%}
{{ state_attr('climate.first_floor_thermostat', 'hvac_action') }}
{%- else -%}
--
{%- endif %}
- platform: template
sensors:
thermostat_first_tempsetting:
friendly_name: "First temp setting"
value_template: >-
{% if states("climate.first_floor_thermostat","") != "off" -%}
{{state_attr('climate.first_floor_thermostat', 'temperature') | int(0) }}
{%- else -%}
00
{%- endif %}
unit_of_measurement: "°F"
I access the “sensor” i created this way. and use this to set the value in my floorplan.
- entity: sensor.thermostat_first_tempsetting
state_action:
- service: floorplan.text_set
service_data: >-
${entity.state != "unavailable" ? Math.round(entity.state)
:"?"}
these are the available attributes. go to developer tools then states and you’ll see.
I use it like this.
The ring turns blue when cooling and red when heating. I display the mode, Actual temp, Temp setting, Humidity and the current status.
