It simply does not run. When I look at the temperature entity - it is reporting every 2 mins. It is a Govee Bluetooth which I have connected via ESP2 bluetooth. I have tried deleting and recreating. I have tried a numeric state but nothing seems to get it to work…what am I missing? Appreciate any help.
the temperature needs to cross the 70 degree threshold. Meaning your starting temp needs to be above 70 degrees, then move to a value below 70. Otherwise no trigger will occur if the temperature is already below 70 degrees and moves further below 70 degrees.
So what would be the solution? I need it to come on in the mornings and the temp in that room is often in the 40s as I shut it off all night…I guess I could have a separate automation that justs turns it on in the mornings but surely there is a way to have it read the temp and fire off simply based on what the temp is at that time…
Not perfect, but I added a second trigger at 6:00am so that should take care of the initial turn on. I guess I will just disable it during the summer. I still would like to know what I should be doing to use that temp as a trigger on its own just based on the value and not on it passing the threshold.
