I want to turn on a heating panel only if it is a workday, between 6:00 am and 9:00 pm and the temperature is < 22 ºC. Also, I want to turn it off if the temperature is => 22ºC.
I started with this, but not sure how to include the other conditions
automation:
alias: Turn on heater on workdays
trigger:
platform: time
at: '06:00:00'
condition:
condition: state
entity_id: 'binary_sensor.workday_sensor'
state: 'on'
action:
service: switch.panel_on
entity_id: switch.heater
The first part would be to determine what you want the trigger to be. It sounds like the temp dropping below 22 should be the trigger. If that sounds right to you, do a numeric state trigger with below 22, and add two conditions: (1) it being a workday and (2) the time is between 06:00 and 21:00. You can keep your time trigger in there in case the temp is already below 22 when it hits 06:00. Then make a second automation with a numeric state of above 22 that turns it off.
This is a automation that I wrote as a alarm that lets you pick any day of the
week on or off.
Overkill for what you are asking but you should be able to adapt it to work for you.

Probably two automations would be simplest. One for on, one for off.
automation:
- alias: Turn on heater on workdays
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.your_temperature_sensor_here
below: 22
- platform: time
at: '06:00:00'
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.workday_sensor
state: 'on'
- condition: time
after: '05:59:59'
before:'09:00:00'
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.your_temperature_sensor_here
below: 22
action:
service: switch.turn_on
entity_id: switch.heater
- alias: Turn on heater off workdays
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.your_temperature_sensor_here
above: 22
- platform: time
at: '09:00:00'
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.workday_sensor
state: 'on'
- condition: time # in case of temperature trigger, only switch off during these times
after: '05:59:59'
before:'09:00:02'
action:
service: switch.turn_off
entity_id: switch.heater
Don’t forget about the additional time trigger at 06:00 in the first automation to turn the switch on if it’s already below 22 at that time (if that’s what OP needs which I’m assuming is the case).
Let’s say the sensor value changes from 22 to 21.9, then on-value will trigger the automation (with its conditions). Something I read yesterday and will also explore.
on_value:
then:
- light.turn_on: <<< Replace this with "exec automation"??
When you create a new automation, it will be enabled unless you explicitly add initial_state: false to it or turn it off manually via UI/another automation/developer tools.
