Awesome support! Thank you blacky!

No problem, your welcome.

Hey man,
new to the hole template thing.
I am trying to change your script. I would like to invert it.

If the temp goes under a specific value: turn ON
If the temp goes over a specific value: turn OFF

I tried to change the conditions from below to above but that didnt work.
Furthermore I changed the “wait_for_trigger” section:

wait_for_trigger:
      platform: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.bme280_temperature
      above: 20.7

So yeah, if the temp goes below a value, the trigger goes on. That is working. But I do not get it to work to turn off above a specific value.

Can you maybe give me a hint, how I should change the script to act like I want it to?

Hi @MoJack Firstly welcome to the community.

I will do a new blueprint that works the opposite way. Working on it now. What do you need it for so I know what t call it?

MoJack · January 28, 2023, 12:24pm

Hey @Blacky , thank you for the welcome!

I basically use it to turn on/off a smart plug that controls a heating pad.
If it’s to cold, turn it on, if the desired temp is reached, turn it off.

Thank you for your help!

Blacky · January 28, 2023, 12:36pm

Ok, I will do it in the same blueprint but give the option to invert it.

Edit: A new Blueprint done just testing now

Edit: All done passed test, creating new blueprint now

New update 1.5

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

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

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

Start of time trigger.
Some other bugs.

Working great with my ceiling fan! Is there a way to add a condition so that it only works when my presence tracker is showing as “home”?

Blacky · August 17, 2023, 2:06am

Hi @crepetsky

Nice

Currently the blueprint doesn’t have "zone’ as a condition. I will put this on the list.

If you would like to do this you could set up a template sensor that is OFF when you are “Home”. You would then put that sensor in the bypass and select “Enable the By-pass - Turn fan OFF”. So what would happen is when your are “Not Home” or “Away” the template sensor would get automaticity turned ON thus turning your bypass ON and the fan OFF when you leave. When you get home the bypass would go OFF allowing the automation to run.

If you need help creating this template sensor then let us know and I will provide you the code.

crepetsky · August 18, 2023, 1:35am

The code would be great, thanks so much!

Blacky · August 18, 2023, 3:50am

@crepetsky

No problem

Below are 2 sensors. One for a individual person and one for the zone. You will need to decide what suits you. If you would like to track multiple persons then you could create all your person sensors and then group them with a helper. The zone one is for any device in a zone you are tracking. You then would enter this code into your “configuration.yaml” file and restart home assistant. You will then have the new sensor you can enter into the by-pass.

Things you can change to your liking are;

ceiling_fan_zone_person_blacky_sensor - (The name must be unique and be in lower case and if you would like a space then it must be “_”. This is the entity ID of your sensor)
Ceiling Fan Zone - Blacky Home Sensor
presence
mdi:map-marker-account-outline
ceiling_fan_zone_sensor - (The name must be unique and be in lower case and if you would like a space then it must be “_”. This is the entity ID of your sensor)
Ceiling Fan Zone - Home Sensor

Things you must change (entity name) or check the zone you have

device_tracker.blacky_iphone
‘home’ - you may have a different zone name other than “home”
zone.home

This is for a person.

binary_sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      ceiling_fan_zone_person_blacky_sensor:
        friendly_name: "Ceiling Fan Zone - Blacky Home Sensor"
        device_class: presence
        icon_template: mdi:map-marker-account-outline
        value_template: >-
          {% if states('device_tracker.blacky_iphone', 'home') %}
            off
          {% else %}
            on
          {% endif %}

This is for a zone.

binary_sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      ceiling_fan_zone_sensor:
        friendly_name: "Ceiling Fan Zone - Home Sensor"
        device_class: presence
        icon_template: mdi:map-marker-account-outline
        value_template: >-
          {% if states('zone.home')|float > 0 %}
            off
          {% else %}
            on
          {% endif %}

You could have both, so if a bedroom for “blacky” has a ceiling fan and when blacky is home the fan will work. You could have another bedroom that is for a different person so you would add another sensor in for that person. But you could have ceiling fans in kitchen then you could use zone or a group helper with all your person sensors selected. You would then use the correct sensor for the automation.

This is using both sensors together. NOTE: We only need one “binary_sensor:” header.

binary_sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      ceiling_fan_zone_person_blacky_sensor:
        friendly_name: "Ceiling Fan Zone - Blacky Home Sensor"
        device_class: presence
        icon_template: mdi:map-marker-account-outline
        value_template: >-
          {% if states('device_tracker.blacky_iphone', 'home') %}
            off
          {% else %}
            on
          {% endif %}

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      ceiling_fan_zone_sensor:
        friendly_name: "Ceiling Fan Zone - Home Sensor"
        device_class: presence
        icon_template: mdi:map-marker-account-outline
        value_template: >-
          {% if states('zone.home')|float > 0 %}
            off
          {% else %}
            on
          {% endif %}

Hope this helps.

New update 1.6

BLUEPRINT CODE UPDATE

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.

How do I set it that when the FAN goes on when passing a value… then normally it should go off when below a value. Sometimes it takes too long and would like it to turn off after 45min if it didn’t get below that value.

Blacky · October 11, 2023, 4:05am

@kimbo1st

Good suggestion, I will look at it tonight and add maximum run time option. Stay tuned for the update.

Blacky · October 12, 2023, 10:06am

New update 1.7

New Features

Added “Maximum Run Time Option". This allows you to set a maximum run time for the fan if the falling value is not achieved.
Added “Global Conditions”. You can now set any condition you like.

It seems not to be working… settings are the same as before, only set maximum runtime to 60min.

Blacky · October 16, 2023, 10:49pm

@kimbo1st

Hi Kim

Could you please provide us your YAML of the automation? This YAML code are the settings you have selected in the automation so I can help. To do this go into your automation, top right 3 dots, Edit in YAML, copy all the code, come back to the forum and in your reply at the top tool bar click on “</>” and paste code in there.
