Problem setting up Nest automation

Configuration
1

Hey all I’m trying to setup a nest automation. I’m able to change the temp if the nest is already in the mode I want but if it is in eco mode the nest will not switch to cool mode and change the temp.

Here is what I have:

automation:

  • alias: ‘Weekday Cooldown’
    trigger:
    • platform: time
      at: ‘13:54:00’
      condition:
      condition: time
      weekday:
      • mon
      • tue
      • wed
      • thu
      • fri
        action:
    • service: notify.pushbullet
      data:
      message: “Weekday Cooldown ran”
    • service: climate.set_temperature
      data:
      entity_id: climate.nest
      temperature: ‘80’
      operation_mode: ‘Cool’

(Sorry if it’s formatted wrong I can’t find a code block when posting this)

Anyway I have tried calling operation mode under set_temperatue with no luck and have also tried calling set_operation_mode operation_mode. Neither way seems to work. I guess to start off with can I actually change modes and how would I chain that together with setting the temp.

Thanks!

Try making it two seperate service calls. Set the mode to cool and then set the temp. You may also need to turn off away mode.

That worked thanks! I could have sworn I tried that already. Here is what I ended also I don’t have auto away set or any schedules so no need to worry about that:

automation:

  • alias: ‘Weekday Cooldown’
    trigger:
    • platform: time
      at: ‘14:35:00’
      condition:
      condition: time
      weekday:
      • mon
      • tue
      • wed
      • thu
      • fri
        action:
    • service: notify.pushbullet
      data:
      message: “Weekday Cooldown ran”
    • service: climate.set_operation_mode
      data:
      entity_id: climate.nest
      operation_mode: ‘cool’
    • service: climate.set_temperature
      data:
      entity_id: climate.nest
      temperature: ‘80’

Thanks again!
