Hi All,
I’m new at home automation, and certainly new at Home Assistant.
I decided give it a try because I ran into limitations with my Tradfri setup. So bought a Rasppi 4 and a cc2531 stick and hit the ground running.
Everything is so much easier then I anticipated that I might have a bit trouble finding the patience to the discover the next steps…the actual automations.
I did a simple test with a Lidl Silvercrest door sensor that my usb stick picked up fine.
I want to use it to lower the thermostat (Tado) if I open the door for fresh air.
To test I did not use the Tado but a simple light so I can see the sensor and automation works.
It does not…I’m sure thats me being impatient but I hope you can give me a legup for my first automation…
This is the sensor:
And this is my very simple code that does not work. It does work when I trigger it manually so the lights part must be fine.
Trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.0xbc33acfffe0eaaa7_contact
attribute: contact
from: 'true'
to: 'false'
And Action:
type: turn_off
device_id: bb71a369cd4302ac25b9a49fe6000999
entity_id: light.corien
domain: light
I hope someone can point me in the right direction (apart from rtfm that I certainly will do)
