Window open detection by temperature
An automation blueprint that detects a window opened for too long by the temperature setting and actual temperature of a climate device.
It reacts if the device target temperature is set to a “window open” temperature, e.g. by a window sensor or open window recognition of the climate entity.
Additionally, it reacts if the current temperature drops below a threshold.
It then waits for the duration, the window is allowed to be open.
After that it measures the room temperature and waits a recovery period, in which the temperature should rise again.
If the current temperature is still below both the temperatur when triggered and before the recovery period, a configurable action is performed.
The action can e.g. be to notify with a notification, the default shows an example.
begin/end_check_temp are variables that contain the temperture before and after the recovery period.
The automation is executed in single mode, so it will only be executed for one of the climate entities at a time.
