Integrate temperature slider with relay and stat

Configuration

Hi all,

I have come quite a way since starting with a pi zero and a few esp01s but as a complete beginner I am still struggling with hashing everything together into something that vaguely resembles an automated system!

So far I’ve got them talking via mqtt with hassio, I get a temp/humidity reading and can switch a relay on and off. Duckdns is working for external access but not for the configurator (another thread!)

I have created a temp slider from here:

It appears on the dashboard but I doesn’t seem to do anything (apart from slide!)

I’m on my phone at the mo so please excuse the yaml screenshots, couldn’t seem to copy paste them!

If anyone can shed some light on where I’m going wrong I’d greatly appreciate it!

Thanks

After hunting around I think I’ve cracked it! I substituted the mqtt name for the entity_id I found under the developer tools and voila, I can now set the temperature and it controls the relay!

Now that it’s up and running, if anyone has questions as to how it all goes, I’ll be happy to share all.

Thanks

Kev
