fervent pebble
Goal: create a script to select the unit (1 of 3 climate control systems) on which to set the mode (cool, heat, off), temperature_setpoint (setpoint in current units), and fan_mode (auto, always_on). This would we called by an automation triggered several times each day to adjust for optimum energy cost (time-of-day price breaks) and sound control (wife can't stand A/C fan cycling but can tolerate constant fan all night, go figure).
I have all the time triggers set-up, and it would be nice to just call a script with the right parameters for each trigger.
I would like to have drop-downs in the field selectors populated only with appropriate possible entries. Once upon a time I thought I had a working script, but it looks like the Powers-That-Be have remove the ability to filter the devices that are presented to the selector.
This seemed so trivial, but I'm stuck for now.
