Trying to create automation for ecobee but trigger using an Aqara sensor

Configuration
, ,
1

So my son’s room is upstairs and gets really hot, but the ecobee is downstairs and it triggers when to go on and off based on it’s temperature at the device. I bought Aqara sensors for all 3 bedrooms upstairs, and I want the ecobee for the entire house (I know… I need a second zone) to go on and off based on his room’s temp.

Unfortunately the only automation I’ve successfully done is a motion sensor in the garage that turns on the garage lights… My sensor (which now looking at it could probably be renamed…) in play is

sensor.lumi_lumi_weather_64237c06_temperature

Hello, I suggest you do the following first-

  1. Change Aqara temperature entity name to something more familiar to you- such as sensor.temperature_bedroom_1, sensor.temperature_bedroom_2, and sensor.temperature_bedroom_3
  2. Get to know/change the climate’s entity name for each room- such as climate.bedroom_1, climate.bedroom_2, and climate.bedroom_3

Then, for your automation, you can use numeric_state as the trigger.

An example of the YAML code is as follows-

alias: Climate Control Bedroom 1
description: ''
mode: single
trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.temperature_bedroom_1
    above: '25'
    id: 'On'
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.temperature_bedroom_1
    id: 'Off'
    below: '18'
condition: []
action:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id: 'On'
        sequence:
          - service: climate.set_hvac_mode
            target:
              entity_id: climate.bedroom_1
            data:
              hvac_mode: cool
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id: 'Off'
        sequence:
          - service: climate.turn_off
            target:
              entity_id: climate.bedroom_1
    default: []

          - "{{ is_state('climate.bedroom_1', 'on') }}"
        sequence:
          - service: climate.turn_off
            target:
              entity_id: climate.bedroom_1
    default: []

@stringztoo Did you ever get this working? I’m trying to do the exact same thing.
