I would like to be able to use the (current) outdoor temp in automations. If I could use the met.no local temp, I would not need a dedicated sensor outside.
Yes I thought the exact same thing, then figured out how to create it with a template helper:
this takes the Temp from the met.no integration and creates a temperature only entity for use in automations
I did it this way so that I can also add it very easily via the GUI to my dashboard , and trend it …and use the group helper to create another entity that is the average of 3 different temp sensors
Depends on the card.
Some cards can use the attribute
But the WTH is to use it in automations. And that is possible
agreed. its possible a number of ways
Thanks all! I would never have known how to make that template sensor without the code, I have it up and running now.
Automations were just one element I’m interested in using this for, I will also graph my outdoor temp vs garage temp to know when it may freeze indoors.
