Some weeks ago I already asked a similar question, but got no response. Maybe because it was asked too specific, thus I try to rephrase this in a more general way.
I’m using a bunch of input entities for heating control (temperature and operation mode profiles for all rooms, timers, etc.). Now I’d like to store the current states of these entities as “heating scenes” and restore them if needed. I.e. a scene for regular days, one for vacation, one for days I’m having visitors, and so on.
My question: Is there a preferred way in HA to permanently store and restore user settings?
You say “user settings”, but we don’t have true user separation yet. Perhaps I don’t understand what you’re trying to do. Can’t you use “scenes” to accomplish this?
I don’t know if scenes fit my use case, as I want to configure the heating control entirely via the UI.
Maybe “user settings” is the wrong term. I want to save temperatures, times and weekdays from all my heating control input entities as a set of values to be able to restore them later. And I want to save more than one set. These sets are global, not bound to the current user.
I hope this makes it more clear what I want to achieve.
