Need help changing input_number values from Telegram

Configuration
1

I succesfully managed to setup automations to turn my heatpump/AC on/off, and choosing the operation mode from Telegram.
All I need to add now is the possibility to adjust the temperature setpoint (the predefined sane default might not suit my wishes…). Same would in theory apply for the fan direction and speed values - but I hardly ever change those from auto, so not a real issue there :wink:
The value is defined by an input_number like this:

    input_number:
      actemp:
        name: Temperatur
        initial: 20
        min: 16
        max: 30
        step: 1
        icon: mdi:thermometer

Can anyone direct me how to create the needed automation for adjusting the setpoint?
I really don’t want to create individual configurations for all thinkable temperatures, but would like to be able to enter it directly from Telegram.

My automations.yaml look like this at the moment:

Send /set_temp 25 from telegram sets the input number to 25.

You could add a condition to ensure the additional data you send was a number between 16 and 30, and return an error if not, or add a further action that confirms the change.

This is great!
I didn’t know you could do this. Maybe I should have but I didn’t!
Thanks!

Yeah, you can join the args together so it picks up everything after the keyword as a oner too. It’s pretty flexible.

Hmm… not working so far (changed a few values to make it more consistent (consistent in my logic that is :wink: )) … No errors in the log either :frowning:

- id: actemperature
  alias: Telegram - Control AC Temperature
  hide_entity: true
  trigger:
  - event_data:
      command: /setactemperature
    event_type: telegram_command
    platform: event
  action:
  - service: input_number.set_value
    data:
      entity_id: input_number.actemp
      value: '{{ trigger.event.data.args[0] }}'

Did I mess everything up?

6

Automation switched on? Showing as triggered in the logbook? :sunglasses:

7

Switched on, and trigger date updates as expected - but value stays the same.

8

And there’s no error??

Cannot resolve template or invalid value or something?

9

Oh, you have data not data_template in your action.

10

Yup… I did :slight_smile:
changing to data_template solved it :smiley:
Thanks a lot @anon43302295

No worries :sunglasses:

Can you mark my first post as solved please, might help people in the future :+1:

Sure :slight_smile:
Should anyone care, my “final” automations.yaml look like this (things pertaining to Telegram/heatpump) including a Sensor “status” message - messages in Danish, but I think it should be possible to get the idea anyhow:
