First off - made the switch to HA from long term (20+ years) HomeSeer. Free ‘Nabu Casa’ month just started.
Apologies if I’m in the wrong place, doing something wrong - just had this running for a week (bought an Optiplex for HA after a previous short test on a Pi).
BACKGROUND
My Use Case (simplified, does a bit more than just these two will illustrate), have -
‘Day Mode’ Input_select as Awake/Asleep
Device - say, Electric blankets.
DESIRED RESULT
Want to be able to yell at the Google (“Sleepy time” or whatever) and have it either -
Turn off the blankets (so HA can respond and run an automation to set the Day Mode to Asleep).
or
[better but seems impossible] set the Day Mode to Asleep (and have HA respond to that and run the automation for the blankets)
Latter case seems to be blocked by Google (as it isn’t on/off?), so the former more likely but I can’t work out how the automation can set the Day Mode to Asleep. (Via the GUI - I’m a developer but not good with YAML >>AT ALL<< yet.)
Oh, finally - shocked how it managed to pick up my devices (Z-Wave, TP-Link/Tapo, ZigBee etc.and the Googles too).
Drooled over the recent info about the HA Voice Preview and it looks nice - but I want MY wake work please!
Feel free to tell me how remedial I am (69 - you can’t hurt my feelings) . But remember I’ve just jumped ship…
Thnak you.
