I don’t seem to be getting this right. I am trying to make an automation in HA that drops the AC down a degree at night (to 76), but only if it is 77 at the time the automation runs. Then another automation that runs in the morning to bring it back to 77.
Since I created this late at night, I started with the automation for waking up. I set it to run at 08:00:00 with a condition of “if” it is currently 76. The action, to bring it to 77. I am getting something wrong though as nothing happened at 8AM.
It is pulled as an entity since the thermostat is on Vera and adjustable on HA through the Vera integration.
Hi there did you try hitting run actions button in the automations edit page. If the changes the temperature, it means that the actions part of the automation works and there is some errors in the conditions part or the trigger part. because these are screenshots I cant check what is the exact error. But I am including an automation that combines both these two automations into one. You will have to change the entity ids and times etc in this but it should work.
NOTE
You can’t test this automation by manually executing it because it refers to a trigger variable which only exists when the automation is triggered by its Time Trigger.
I should have thought about it. It slipped my mind because I just updated it like a week or so ago. I was running core-2021.6.6. Updated now and it the save took.
Now it’s the waiting game to see if things begin to trigger.
You are a fellow saint. You are both fellow saints. Thank you.
Update: I can confirm that it works 100%. Thanks again.
