Hi all,
I’m trying to automate my heating. I have a number of climate entities where the current status (‘off’, ‘heating’) is contained in the following attribute
{{state_attr("climate.lounge", "hvac_action")}}
The full climate entity is as follows:
hvac_modes:
- 'off'
- heat
current_temperature: 16.7
min_temp: 4
max_temp: 28
temperature: 4
hvac_action: 'off'
preset_mode: null
preset_modes:
- boost
status:
type: radiator
mode: timer
temperature: 16.71500015258789
override:
duration: 1353
setpoint: 18
friendly_name: Lounge
icon: 'mdi:radiator'
supported_features: 17
What I want to do is, once the heating is running, loop through each entity every few minutes and check what the current status is, so I can then carry out any downstream actions.
I’ve set up get template nodes to read the hvac_action and this works when injecting and reading the output…
However, when I string multiple entities together the template always remains the same, i.e. it keeps checking the same room rather than checking the template in each individual node. I’ve tried everything I can think of but I’m getting nowhere. Can anyone help please?
full config here…
