Hi all,
after the help I received in my first post I have installed and configured my device correctly as follows:
- Raspberry Pi 4 with HomeAssistant (last version)
- Xiaomi Aqara Smart Air Pressure sensor Zigbee
- Ikea TRÅDFRI Wireless control outlet Zigbee
Aqara and Tradfri are managed with DeConz App with ConBee II as gateway.
My goal is for tradfri to turn on/off (connected to radiator) based on conditions such as temperature and time.
I tried using the following automations, following this post.
I have activated both but it doesn’t work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks and have a nice weekend
Here is how I set up the two automations:

Thank you Tom,
I have corrected the quote. At the moment, however, it does not seem to work. This is the logbook when I run the automation manually. Normally it has to be off.
Heater OFF Living Room has been triggered by service automation.trigger

Running the automation manually skips the conditions and just executes the actions. You can override this default behaviour by using the Developer Tools Services page.
Hello everyone, what I have set up so far has not worked. I have set up these new automations, but they only work if I activate them manually…
I would like the system to check the temperature every hour and switch on or off if it is above or below 21 degrees.
This should work from 05:30 to 23:00 and be switched off from 23:00 to 5:30.
What am I doing wrong?
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.soggiorno_tdeg_e_umidita
- platform: time
at: '05:30:00'
- platform: homeassistant
event: start
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: switch.on_off_plug_in_unit_1
state: 'on'
- condition: time
after: '05:30:00'
before: '23:30:00'
- condition: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.soggiorno_tdeg_e_umidita
above: '21'
action:
...etc
This will check the conditions every time the sensor changes and at the beginning of your time period, in case the temperature is already above 21 when this occurs. Do likewise for the other automation. Also I added a home assistant start trigger, in case the temperature changes while home assistant is off or restarting.
Good morning,
Yesterday I disabled the previous automations that didn’t work and set up two new ones (Living Room off > 22° & Living Room on < 19°), based on Tom’s suggestion.
alias: Living Room off > 22°

I enabled them and they worked correctly until 11.30pm. Of course this morning I would have expected the radiator to be on as the temperature dropped but it wasn’t, it was off and I had to activate it manually.
Is there something wrong with the configuration?
- condition: state
entity_id: switch.on_off_plug_in_unit_1
state: 'on'
Should be:
- condition: state
entity_id: switch.on_off_plug_in_unit_1
state: 'off'
For the Living Room on < 19° automation (second one).
The way you had it the radiator has to be on already for your actions to turn it on. This is not correct. The radiator has to be off, then you can turn it on (if the other conditions are met).
