I am a new HA user coming from Homeseer after about 10 years.
I am trying to create an automation to monitor the operating state of my thermostat to graph A/C on times and Heat On times.
From what I am seeing above, this should work. For some reason the automation doesn’t like the 2-66-0-x state.
I have tried everything that I can think of plus a multitude of searches and cannot find a reason why it says it is malformed.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
The blue bars in the above graph are the AC on times. If you want to sum or perform other actions on the times, you’ll need to create a Template sensor.
The existing entities for your thermostat likely have the data you want, and an automation of Z-Wave-JS is likely unneeded.
That said, if you want to get the low level event, you need an event trigger, not a device trigger. Something like this:
Thank you so much! That is exactly what I was looking for.
I was totally unaware of the built in graphing so that should same me a lot of work.
Thank you again!
