Ahh, so I don't have to limit myself to stuff under climate.nest? I can just use the raw sensor data?

verbal yacht
#

Sure

#

If there's an entity with the data you want as a state or an attribute, you can use it

How do I find the correct values to populate the action field?

verbal yacht
#

What action field?

#

You may find the device actions do what you want

So I've got the trigger of a temperature being above a certain value, now I need to tell the Nest to turn on the fan

#

Does this look sane?

alias: Poor Man's AC
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.nest_temperature
    attribute: current_temperature
    above: 22
condition: []
action:
  - service: climate.set_fan_mode
    target:
      entity_id: climate.nest
    data:
      fan_mode: "on"
mode: single
#

When I hit Run, the fan comes on, but the temperature was already over 22 and it wasn't running. Does it need to go from below 22 to above 22 to trigger?

#

Maybe a better question is how do I test that this automation is working aside from waiting for the temperature to change?

See the pinned message in the #automations-archived channel about testing, but yes - it has to cross the threshold to run. Triggers have to go from false to true for them to start an automation.
