Configuration

Hello,
i’ve this automation

- alias: Riscaldamento giorno weekand
  trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: >-
      {{ states('sensor.time') == (states.input_datetime.only_time_weekand.state | int | timestamp_custom('%H:%M', False)) }} 
  - platform: homeassistant
    event: start
  condition:
    condition: time
    after: 08:00:00
    before: '21:30:00'
    weekday:
    - sat
    - sun
  action:
    - service: climate.set_temperature
      data_template:
        entity_id: clima.termostato
        temperature: "{{states.input_number.pomeriggio_weekand.state | float }}"
  id: a3ec9b56cf9e4db18a4a6b3d188a237e

and this as inputs

input_number:
  mattino:
    name: Temp mattino
    initial: 21
    min: 18
    max: 25
    step: 0.5
  pomeriggio_weekand:
    name: Temp pomerigio e weekand
    initial: 20.5
    min: 18
    max: 25
    step: 0.5
    
  notte:
    name: Temp notte
    initial: 18
    min: 16
    max: 21
    step: 0.5

input_datetime:
  only_time_mattino:
    name: Orario mattino
    has_date: false
    has_time: true
    initial: "05:00"
  only_time_sera:
    name: Orario sera
    has_date: false
    has_time: true
    initial: "21:30"
  only_time_weekand:
    name: Orario weekand
    has_date: false
    has_time: true
    initial: "08:00"

The problem is that the trigger not work.
Any idea?

You don’t need “| int” and whatever comes after. Actualy by using int on time, it falls back to zero. That’s your error.

Tip: If you want to create templtes, use the “test-environment” for it. On the left side, where you have that icon that looks like a remote, one of these buttons is called “template”. The text-field is pre-filled with an example and next to it you see the output of that template(s). Delete this text (don’t worry, it will automaticly return) and insert your template. Then it will show you the result. If it is what you expect, use it. If it’s an error or something else, look for documentation or ask here.

Thank you very much sir! I’ll try and report feedback.

I’ve modified the automation

- alias: Riscaldamento giorno weekand
  trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: >-
      {{ states('sensor.time') == (states.input_datetime.only_time_weekand.state) }} 
  - platform: homeassistant
    event: start
  condition:
    condition: time
    after: 08:00:00
    before: '21:30:00'
    weekday:
    - sat
    - sun
  action:
    - service: climate.set_temperature
      data_template:
        entity_id: clima.termostato
        temperature: "{{states.input_number.pomeriggio_weekand.state | float }}"
  id: a3ec9b56cf9e4db18a4a6b3d188a237e

still not working

If i try the template value into template editor (third icon from right in bottom menu) and set the current time into the slide the result is false

This:

{{ states('sensor.time') }}

produces the current time as a string containing 5 characters. For example, 16:12

This:

{{ states('input_datetime.only_time_weekand') }}

produces the time as a string containing 8 characters. For example, 21:30:00

The two strings have different lengths and can never be equivalent. That’s why your equivalence test always results in False.

This:

{{ states('input_datetime.only_time_weekend')[:5] }}

selects the first 5 characters of the 8-character string. For example, it will select 21:30 from 21:30:00

This is able to produce True because it is comparing two 5-character strings:

{{ states('sensor.time') == (states('input_datetime.only_time_weekend')[:5]) }}

thank you for replay…i’ll try.

howevere i’ve discovered that also the temperature is not considere from automation.
I’ve tried to put the input only into target temp and leave the trigger with classic time template but not work…

is it ok this?

action:
    - service: climate.set_temperature
      data_template:
        entity_id: clima.termostato
        temperature: "{{states.input_number.pomeriggio_weekand.state | float }}"

may be that need a restart insted to the simply automation restart?
