I’m a newbie on this whole thing, but I’ve managed to setup everything and the next step is to start getting some automations. So I have a garage with a aeotec multisensor 6 and two aeotec switches connected to two heaters. So by my understanding that should be enough.
I’d like to automate it like this:
One temperature meter (the multisensor 6)
Two switches (or heaters)
Sticks to one heating target during night, and another during day
Stretch goal: have weekly patterns where the heating changes on certain days (i.e. weekend)
The basic stuff is straightforward, except not sure how to add another heater, do I just add a “heater 2:” below the first one? Anyway, it’d look like this:
But the question is how do I add schedule automation to this? I could start with trial&error but just seeing how this should be done would allow me to really take it further. Thanks for any help!
I don’t think you can add two switches to the generic thermostat. You can try adding both switches to a group and using that group as the heater switch, but I’ve never tried it so no guarantees this will work.
As to your second question - the schedule - you should use trigger time and your action should be climate.set_temperature - to increase and decrease the desired temperature.
Is this working for you? I am having issues having tried to set away mode using an automation, so was going to try this method, but wanted to see if you got it working like this first?
