Hi,
I recently came across the climate component, whilst exposing my temp sensors to Google Assistant and thought it would be a simple way to control my bathroom extraction fan, here’s how I’ve set it up with the humidity sensor acting as a temp sensor ( had to output in celcius)
climate:
- platform: generic_thermostat
name: Bathroom
heater: switch.bathroom_fan
target_sensor: sensor.bathroom_humd
ac_mode: true
min_temp: 20
max_temp: 99
target_temp: 50
target_temp_step: 1
cold_tolerance: 0
hot_tolerance: 40
So basically it turns on at 90% relative and off at 50%. I noticed in the Climate: writeup a service for setting humidity. Can anyone explain more? and can I substitute another sensor instead of a value for target_temp?
Thanks
