Me again, next configuration - start time to heat house based on outside temperature

Configuration
7

That’s ok, I’ve found a solution. Might not be the best or prettiest but it seems to work. Here’s what it looks like:

{% set at_time=5 * 60  %} 
{% set cur_time=now().hour * 60 + now().minute %}
{% set max_temp=15.0 %}
{% set out_temp=float(states('sensor.outside_temperature')) %}
{{ at_time - cur_time == 0 or (at_time - cur_time > 0 and out_temp < max_temp and at_time - cur_time + out_temp * 1.5 - 30.0 < 0) }}

Basically, the heat will turn on up to an hour before the wake time (at_time) but only if the outside temperature (out_temp, taken from my Acurite weather station, thank JardiamJ for the work) is already less than 15C (max_temp). At 15C, it will start 7 minutes 30 seconds before wake time. At -20, it will start an hour before the wake time.

To trigger it, I’ve set time templates of 5 and 7 for the hour and * for the minutes so it will try every minute of those hours.

So my code for turning on the heat in the morning looks like this now:

          %} {{ at_time - cur_time == 0 or (at_time - cur_time > 0 and out_temp <
          max_temp and at_time - cur_time + out_temp * 1.5 - 30.0 < 0) }}"'
  action:
  - data:
      temperature: 22
    entity_id: climate.neviweb130_climate_martin
    service: climate.set_temperature

Like I said, not the prettiest but with my current knowledge of Home Assistant (only 3 weeks), that’s the best I could muster :slight_smile:
