Increase or Decrease Target Temperature

Blueprints Exchange
1

This script covers a missing function to change the value of a thermostat’s setting relative to it’s current value instead of changing it to a static value.

In order to keep setup simple for the new user this script is intended for, it has a few built-in limitations:

  • Setting hvac_mode in the same action is not supported.
  • When using heat_cool or similar modes, the script can set either high or low target temp… not both.

Please post any issues you discover, I will happily attempt to correct them. However, please do not post requests to add features such as being able to use entities to provide the value for the temperature change or doing away with the limitations noted above. As stated, one of the primary goals of this blueprint is to keep the setup simple.

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.
