Looking for Custom Scheduler Component for YAML-Defined Heating Schedules

Configuration
1

I am searching for a custom component in Home Assistant that works similarly to the built-in Schedule integration, but is specifically designed to control room heaters (climate entities) by setting temperatures at certain times.

Key requirements:

  • Configuration of the schedules must be possible entirely via YAML.
  • Schedules and thermostats must remain completely separate: I do not want a combined “super thermostat” solution (like Generic Thermostat or similar).
  • It should be possible to define a schedule that applies to multiple days (e.g., all weekdays or the whole week) without having to repeat the same time/temperature entries seven times.
  • It would be very helpful if time blocks could be defined only with start times (no mandatory end times), so the temperature stays active until the next start time is reached.
  • Like the built-in Schedule integration, it should support a “data:” section where I can store additional information (e.g., custom attributes or notes).

Well, I went for the very simple approach, but I only have a single whole-house thermostat.

I have an automation that handles the schedule, and I have a separate script for setting the high/low temps based on the “mode” that that an automation can provide.

Been using it for a year or so like this and it seems just fine. Adding in weekday checks would be easy, but it’s more if anyone is home or not.

I also change the morning heat based on the expected temperature outside. For some reason I don’t need the house as warm when I feel it’s going to be a warm day…

Sometime back I had a different approach where the automation would run ever few minutes and then check what schedule should be running, but I like this way better.

I use the the HA local calendar for scheduling irrigation.
