❄ Temperature Control Exhaust Fan - Inverted

Nice, no problem :+1:

You could but I would manually turn off my boiler and manually turn on my heat pump in summer time (and visa versa for winter). Last thing you need is your boiler turning on in the summer heating your floor up and finding out later (when you come home) it came on $$$$, and now your floor is hot… that takes a while to cool down. It would also be hard to pick a date to change over from heating to cooling.

EDIT: You could also create a summer and a winter by-pass to stop all your automations. Example if you created one by-pass for all your Underfloor Heating then put the same by-pass in every automation you just created. Now when you turn that ON it will stop all the Underfloor Heating automations.

New update 1.1

This is quite a big update :firecracker:. I am slowly going through my blueprint so they all look and feel the same :partying_face:

:warning: Please read this before upgrading. If you use “Fan Speed - Switch Off Option” in you automations, once you upgrade you will need to select “Enable the fan speed - switch off option” as shown below and click save.

New Features :new:

  • Added “Fan” domain to fan switch.

  • Added enable / disable option to the “Fan Speed – Switch OFF Option”.

  • Added Fan domain to “Fan Speed – Switch OFF Option”.

  • Upgraded by-pass to have 3 options. You can now choose what you would like the fan to do when you turn the by-pass ON.

    1. Turn fan ON.
    2. Turn fan OFF.
    3. Keep the current fan state.
  • Added the ability to use a “By-pass Auto OFF Option”. This is used when you turn the by-pass ON and you would like the by-pass to automatically turn OFF in a set time delay. It can also be used as a timer to turn the fan ON and then OFF if you have chosen to use “Enable the By-pass - Turn fan ON”.

  • Added end of time trigger. The fan will turn OFF when end time crosses over and your “Rising Value” is over it’s setting.

  • Added some safe guards for HA restart.

  • Cleaned up some code.

Bugs Fixes :bug:

  • Start of time trigger.
  • Some other bugs.

New update 1.2

:warning: BLUEPRINT CODE UPDATE :exclamation:

Just a heads up if your still on a old HA version before you update.

From time to time Home Assistant update their code structure and the old code will become “DEPRECATED” stopping / breaking automations from working. It effected this blueprint about 4 to 6 months ago. I wanted to wait some time so everyone had a chance to update their HA version before updating the code as older HA versions can not run the new code. This blueprint has now been updated so it will still operate once HA remove the “DEPRECATED” code from their system. :wink: :+1:

So I don’t find that this shuts off when exceed the rising value. When I look at traces, I don’t see a trigger for my sensor exceeding the rising value. Time trigger works, and falling works.

@o0Scope0o

This post is moved from “Temp Control Exhaust Fan” blueprint.

I tested it again here and it is working so that is okay.

What will happen.

  1. Between 8 am and 5pm if the temp sensor goes below 17 the fan will come ON. When it rises above 22 that fan will turn OFF.
  2. If the temp is below 17 and the time crosses over 8am the fan will come ON. If the time crosses over 5pm and the fan is ON the fan will go OFF.

One thing that may be happening is you are using a device in your fan switch. Please expand down to your fan entity as there could be something going wrong here.

Hope this helps.

Yep you were correct. It was a issue with the entity, changed entity and all magically sprung into life. Thanks so much, so far working as expected. Much appreciated! Thanks for your work on this, have found your other blueprints as well, will be looking to utilise some of those soon!!

@o0Scope0o

No problem your welcome. Thanks for letting us know.

Hello @Blacky
First of all many thanks to you Blueprint, it helped me a lot to switch my heating from Heat Pump to Gaz system when it is cold (I have dual heating system !).
I would like to ask you if it is possible to allow “falling and rising” value with negative values (eg I would like to have Falling Value to -2°C and Rising Value to -1°C because under -2°C the heat pump works tooo hard and it is mutch better to switch to gaz boiler here).
Many thanks to your code :slight_smile:

@kiwi35

Just simply type the value in and click save.

Nice one, thanks for the update.

I’m getting errors in my HA logs when using this blueprint. Any thoughts?

Enter in a entity ID and not a device. You can expand it down using the <>. This is a link to another blueprint of mine and it shows you how to expand your device down. Click Here

Weird. It would work as a device - just randomly gave that error. Thanks

No problem always happy to help.

Hello,
I want to be able to override the blueprint and force it running for example from your bathroom blueprint.
The override is off but the fan is turned on.
When I remove the override entity the fan is turned off as it is to hot outside.

I thought with the settings below the fan should be turned on when the bypass is on and behave normal (acording to the other blueprint settings) when the bypass is off.

type or paste code herealias: Lüftung - Kühlung
description: ""
use_blueprint:
  path: Blackshome/temperature-control-exhaust-fan-inverted.yaml
  input:
    trigger_sensor: sensor.temperatur_terasse_temperatur
    entity_turn_on:
      device_id: 26f514e7a49670854ebcb3b57235522e
    rising_value: 23
    falling_value: 20
    include_bypass: bypass_enabled_turn_on
    trigger_bypass: input_boolean.luftung_override

@Xento

Have a look at this example click here. It links the toilet blueprint with the bathroom blueprint. It will be the same similar set up using this blueprint for the toilet blueprint but you will not have the restart option.

See if that works for you.

Blacky :smiley:

Thank you I will try it but i find it very difficult to test the settings and the automation.

Thanks Blacky,
This is way more than I needed, but I’m using it to control a box with a light globe in it to gently warm crystalized honey, and seems to be good.
