Need help automating thermostat setpoints

Configuration
1

Hey Everyone. First off thanks to all the brilliant people here that have got me this far! I’ve successfully setup zwave and started communicating with my GoControl GC-TBZ48 thermostat. I have a card that looks like this and I can open items and change set points just fine.

However, in order to make this more useful I need to get some automation going. I’ve tried examples here and they’re just too complicated for me to get working on my own. I’m new to yaml. :slight_smile:

The thermostat detects as follow:

Other states are:
climate.linear_tbz48_cooling_1_2_2, climate.linear_tbz48_cooling_econ_2_12, climate.linear_tbz48_heating_econ_2_11, sensor.linear_tbz48_temperature_2_1

It seems that I can modify any of the heat/cool states and it affects the thermostat.

I’d like to create a simple to understand schedule I can easily modify. Modifying from a card would be a dream come true but for now I’ll settle for coding. I tried some simple automation already and it doesn’t appear to be working. Thoughts?
…from automation.yaml

  - alias: 'Set temp 70F at 6AM'
    trigger:
      platform: time
      after: "06:00:00"
    action:
      service: climate.set_temperature
      data:
        entity_id: climate.linear_tbz48_heating_1_2_1
        temperature: 70
        operation_mode: Heat
  - alias: 'Set temp 69F at 9PM'
    trigger:
      platform: time
      after: "21:00:00"
    action:
      service: climate.set_temperature
      data:
        entity_id: climate.linear_tbz48_heating_1_2_1
        temperature: 68
        operation_mode: Heat

In the future I’d love to have a card that just lists the items so anyone in the family can reconfigure it, such as;
Monday-Friday:
Wake Time ___ Temp ___
Away Time ___ Temp ___
Sleep Time ___ Temp ___
Weekend…

For now I just want to know why this automation isn’t working. Thank you!

I still haven’t made any forward progress on this. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thank you!

I finally got this working today after some tinkering. I had other code issues preventing the automation.yaml from loading properly. In the end here’s a sample of the code that is working;

  - alias: "Set Wakeup Temp weekdays"
trigger:
  - platform: time
    after: '06:00:00'
condition:
  - condition: time
    weekday:
      - mon
      - tue
      - wed
      - thu
      - fri
action:
  - service: climate.set_temperature
    entity_id: climate.linear_tbz48_heating_1_2_1
    data:
      temperature: 70

Hopefully this helps another beginner get things going!
