Automation in HASS

 

 

Logic

 

If deltaT > X ; TURN ON

Else if deltaT < Y ; SHUT OFF

Elsif ; SHUT OFF

 

Thinking of Scenes:

If automatic **OR** manually triggered ON, should always SHUT on deltaT < Y

 

 

More specifically I want a time based requirement

 

Mirror > Air for 120seconds = ON

Mirror < Air for 120seconds = OFF

 

In reality I have a solidly computed value of 'deltaT' which should be used

 

deltaT > 1.5 for 120seconds = ON

deltaT < -0.5 for 120seconds = OFF

1. Why not two numeric triggers and call the zigbee cycle in the actions?

   Are alternatively, perhaps two binary template sensors for the below and above values and use that as triggers. state on for x minutes/seconds

I pointed you to a numeric_state trigger and you've used a state trigger, rarely a good choice for a value crossing a threshold

WORKS!

 



 

 



 

Garage door was open and the air outside was cooler than the garage.  I then closed the garage door and the air temp 'bounced' back up bringing the deltaT closer w/o need for cooling.
