Hi, I am trying to automate the thermostats in my house and would like to easily set temperature schedule for a week. I found a very good custom component called Programmable_thermostat for this use, and it works like a charm for my electrical heaters which are connected to a power plug and room s…

You have to quote single line templates: data_template: temperature: "{{ states.sensor.set_temperature_gang_1_etg.state }}" Also you would be better off with this format that does not error if the state is unknown: data_template: temperature: "{{ states('sensor.set_tem…

Also take a look at Schedy, might be of use for you: [image] Heaty will die, Schedy be born! Share your Projects! UPDATE: Schedy is of course stable and ready for use since December 2018, here are the docs . Hi all, For those not knowing what Heaty is: It’s a heating sch…

My heating is always on, but if the doors are open or the house unoccupied the target is pretty low. (ie it’s the same as ‘off’) I use a template to set an input number value and when that changes it updates the climate control. This way I can manually overide at any time. I also have an input bi…

Why? {% if false and not is_state('binary_sensor.bs_door_open', 'on') %} {{ '6' | float }} Why not?: {% if not is_state('binary_sensor.bs_door_open', 'on') %} 6 Your template can evaluate to false and true = false false and false = false In both cases it will never…

Ha ha ha, read the second to last line of my post :rofl: I’m assigning it to an input_number, I’ll try assigning a string (containing a number) I guess I assumed I couldn’t.

Thanks for reply! Unfortunately still does not work… Seems I need to better understand the template function. E.g. what is different with value_template and data_template etc. But the option with Schedy should work instead!

Thanks! That sounds like a good alternative. Will try that, and liked that window open off is already implemented!

Ideally it would be possible to implement a user interface to set weekly schedules for a thermostat… I.e. similar to commercial equipment such as EQ3 Max! or similar. But have not found anything for HA yet…
