I started my smart home with a Nest thermostat which is connected to my boiler.
I've now expanded to Smart TRVs and External sensors in each room to have more control.
Annoyingly there's no simple way for me to pair the 3 devices together so I've used an automation for it which ChatGPT generated. It works and is simple to follow but I now want to control it via a dashboard element. Can you please help with if / how this is possible?
Context:
- Nest (Controls if boiler is on or off depending on it's internal tempreture and what it is set to)
- TRV on radiators (Aqara E1 - used to control tempreture on each radiator)
- External Sensor (Aqara - Used to monitor tempreture in the rooms away from radiator)
- HA Green running on latest Core & OS.
- Helpers created to set desired temperature.
Automation:
- Pseduo Code:
Then = Set Nest = 32C (to force boiler on)
And = Set TRV = Helper```
I will share the YAML below
**Desired outcome: **
Instead of using a helper which I access through the devices menu, I would like to be configurable via a Dashboard element.
I've had a look at Better Thermostat however that is only good at linking external sensors and TRVs / Nest and I don't see a way to link it to the helper.
I welcome any feedback you have
