#First Small automation with HA

Hi everyone,
I started my jurney with HA just yesterday und spend nearly the most time of the day to get most of my devices to HA. I completed this bsides some devices like Eve Room and Eve Motion. Now to my question:
I have Eve Thermo, Eve Door/Window and Eve Thermo Control installed. I created my first basic automation with trigger Eve door (Open/close), no condition, and result Eve Thermo off/on. This is Working just fine, but I need to advance this. If the Eve Thermo was off before the opening of the window, Eve Thermo should be also off After closing of the Window. In my actual automation thermo is heating up Everytime.
How is it possible to Save the thermo status/temp before open and apply this to the thermo as Well?

In another room and in a second step I want to use the temp of the Eve Thermo Control for Controlling the thermo. But first I want to solve issue 1 😁

Cheers

For that you can use a snapshot scene. When the window is opens you make a snapshot like:

action: scene.create
data:
 snapshot_entities:
   - climate.test
 scene_id: before_window_open

And when you close the window you simply recall that scene:

action: scene.turn_on
target:
  entity_id: scene.before_window_open
data: {}

That looks promising, I just need to figure out, how to use the code insgesamt of using the drop downs and how to set up things like helper and entities 😁
Thank you for your idea

This is working very good now. I am wondering, if I do exact the same for another room, do I have to modify anything, so that the script for room A is not using the saved scene from room B, or is this already included in the snapshot_entities?
Do I need to create a scene id for each room? like before_window_open_bath, ..._floor...

How you added the code?

#

I need another advice:
I have 2 rooms, which I want to control at the same time with thermo+window sensors. Both rooms got 1 thermo and 1 window sensor each.

I created the above code for window sensor 1 and thermo 1. My idea is that if window 1 OR 2 is open, thermo is off (scene saved both thermo states). If Both windows are closed again, each thermo should be using its state previously saved.

#

The code is working fine so far for the windows sensor 1. Do I need to dublicate this code for the second sensor as well by creating a second automation, or is there a smarter way? I dont understand, how to trigger 1 OR 2. If I trigger both, both windows need to be open, which I dont want^^

  1. question. I for now duplicated the thermo off script and added it for the second room. But I now got a problem with the snapshot scene, which makes sense. I open window 1 (scene will get saved for both thermos), thermos are going in off, I open windows 2 and the scene is saved again, which is now off. If I close the windows again, the thermos will stay in off. How can I get rid of this? 🙂

Anyone? 🙂

Blind leading the blind here but... Have you used the UI builder for your automation? There are some widgets for AND, OR and NOT that might help for joining triggers or sensor states. Of course they are available in YAML but I don't know the correct construct, yet.

How can I get rid of this?

Make a group of your windows. That will be on when any window is open, and closed when all windows are closed. Trigger scene saving off of this group. Then opening a second window will not do anything.

#

I would not have duplicated the automation as I don't think you want multiple of this. You just want to save your state when any window opens, and restore it once all windows are closed.

This code is working fine for trigger window 1, but not for the second window. (I guess because the second window isnt a trigger) I need to implement if trigger 1 OR 2 opens, then do xyz. I dont know how. Could you help?

I am new at this too. It looks like you could create two automations, one for each of your triggers then start a third event with your desired common action from each of those. I haven’t tried but googling and Google Gemini offered some suggestions. You will have to think about what happens if a second trigger occurs while the first has started. Also have you tried asking over at Reddit? I have had better success at responses there than Discord.

Maybe we are overthinking this. Here is an example from Gemini that shows multiple triggers in the trigger section - a motion sensor or time of 7:00. I haven't tested though.
automation:

  • alias: Multiple Trigger Automation
    trigger:
    • platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.motion_sensor_living_room
      to: 'on'
    • platform: time
      at: '07:00:00'
      condition:
    • condition: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.vacation_mode
      state: 'off'
      action:
    • service: light.turn_on
      entity_id: light.living_room_light

I dont get a solution yet. But now my other automation are crapped too and I dont now why 😄 I got headache, man.
