Smart HVAC system

Configuration
1

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to make my HVAC system smart, but it doesn’t seem to be working properly - am i doing something wrong?

I want it to start heating a 7.15, or when the room temperature drops below <21 for 5 min and stop when nobody is at home. And shut off at 21.00.

It doesn’t seem to be turning on my air-conditioning. If i run the automation manually it does seem to work though.

This is my automation:

Maybe I’m missing it, but I don’t see in that graph where it drops BELOW 20 and isn’t already heating.

Sorry, I manually started it.

Same for when the target temperature is reached, but doesn’t turn off. My indoor temperature is 22.5 now, but it doesn’t shut off.

Do these need to be inverted? I’m having trouble following your logic as it is.

I want our traditional heating system to kick in when the temperature drops below 19, because this also allows heating of other rooms, instead of only the living room.

Edit: It seems the current temperature i get via the LG App and LG air-conditioner differ around 2.5 degrees. The LG app displays the higher temperature.

I had a similar challenge initially. First, double-check the automation settings. Ensure the timing aligns perfectly with your preferences and the accurate temperature thresholds. Calibration issues or minor glitches can affect the system’s responsiveness.
I stumbled upon some great insights about optimizing smart HVAC systems when seeking the best way to get hvac leads. Local forums are a goldmine for troubleshooting tips.
If everything seems set, but it still doesn’t kick in automatically, try contacting the tech support for your specific system. Good luck!
