Hello, I have 5 rooms with a one to two smart thermostat each. Each room has at least 2 windows, some more. I bought 20 window sensor to turn off/on the thermostat when a window is opend/closed.
Is there an easy way to integrate them and do that? Or do I have to manually make 2 automations for each sensor that turn on/off the thermostats?

Make a group for each room - that way it will be on if any window is open, off if they're all closed, and you can control the thermostat off that
I would also recommend only making a single automation per room, just trigger off the group going either on or off, and then turn the thermostat on or off as appropriate.

#

I would look at downloading or making a suitable blueprint though, copying and pasting the automation a bunch will get boring fast

How do I make a single automation for on/off? I only have one option for "window open" and one option "window closed"

#

That would lead to two automations each room

#

There are ways to do this all in a single automation that could flex to any number of rooms, but it's more complicated.

#

So you'll have to pick your poison between "easy copy and paste" and "one automation w/ complex template writing"
