Hello all,
Please can I ask for a little assistance with my configuration as I just can’t figure out a nice way to do this, and it seems so simple…
I have a room in my house with 3 TRVs and temperature sensors. I have created a temperature sensor group to take the average room temperature. What I’d now like to to is to control the set values of the TRVs depending on an overall thermostat.
I tried the following:
Generic Thermostat:
- Input: Temperature Sensor Group
- Output: Binary Input Sensor
Automation:
- Binary input sensor on = Set TRVs target temperature to 30 (i.e. full on)
- Binary input sensor off = Set TRVs target temperature to 10 (i.e. full off)
It seems I can’t do this as the Generic Thermostat doesn’t accept a binary sensor as an output.
What I think I can do is:
Threshold Helper:
- on Action - set TRVs on
- off Acton - set TRVs off
Input Number -
- on change, set Threshold Value
But this misses some of the nice features of the dedicated Climate entity UI to show the status etc. Is there a better way?
