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:
- When using
heat_coolmode, the script can set either high or low target temp… not both. - While it can be targeted at multiple
climateentities. It will not work if the entities in question use a mixture ofheat_cooland single set-point actions.
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.

Update 2024-12-13:
- Added safeguards to avoid the script calling for temperatures beyond the min or max temperature limits set for each target entity.
- Added temperature offset field so that the script can be used more flexibly in automations, scripts, and dashboard actions.
- Added descriptions.
