Log changes to climate.temperature in the same way as input_boolean or other entities

[Baggypants]

Home Assistant doesn’t record changes to a climate entity’s setpoint temperature attribute. This makes is difficult to work out what or who has changed it. There is no obvious documentation to set up such recording.

Thermostat Setpoint Change Mystery

Hi there. I installed an Anna to control my boiler and for some reason it decided to heat the house overnight as the target temperature jumped to 29.7C at 00:03:59 [anna-targert-temp-mystery] Unfortunatly there is nothing at all in the logbook or in the HA logs to say why this change happened. No automation triggered at that time. Anna’s schedule isn’t set up to make this change and there was no-one up and about to do a manual change as far as I know. Any ideas? How do i find the culprit?

Thermostat setpoint changes not logged in Logbook

In my recorder integration, I limit the number of entities that get recorder (to minimize the size of the DB). recorder: purge_keep_days: 10 purge_interval: 1 include: # the presence of 'include' forces 'exclude by default' for anything not explicitely included entities: - switch.espresso - switch.humidifier - climate.thermostat logbook: .... ecobee: I have an ecobee thermostat, and the integration works very well. It’s been working for years. The issue I h…

Missing climate thermostat events in logbook

Agree. I would love additional logging (who changed setpoint and what temperature it was set to).

I would like to see climate setpoint logged in a similar way to how I observe changes to an input_boolean that shows which device, entity, automation or user made the change.

I would add as well current state. Like, Started Cooling, Stopped Cooling, etc

+1 I would also be interested in tracking who change the temp state, happened last night but have no idea what changed it or who.

Same, I’m using the Ecobee integration, it never logs set point changes.

Yes this is really a bummer

It’s a major bummer that this is not a thing. Is it difficult to add? Or not enough people want this?
I have instances where multiple different users could change the set-point and not knowing who changed it is really frustrating.

I have the same problem. Twice this month, the heating turned up at random times during the night. I have no idea why this is happening. As a workaround, I made an automation that turns the heat down when it passes a threshold and checks every hour. Not ideal…
