Python script to update climate devices

HA-UpdateClimate

Python script to update climate devices based on sensors and time.

Installation

Install via HACS (recommended) or download the update_climate.py file from inside the python_scripts directory here to your local python_scripts directory, then reload python_scripts in Home Assistant.

There is a blueprint that simplifies the use of this script. You can import this blueprint using the following URL. Just make sure you keep the blueprint up to date when you update the python script.

Usage

This python script sets the target temperature according to the specified sensors and time.

The climate entity will be off when:

• The given sensors_on is on
• The given sensors_off is off

In all other cases the hvac_mode will be heat. The target temparature will be set to high_temp if the sensor_presence is on or not given and the current time is between heating_from_hour and heating_to_hour. Otherwise the target temperature will be set to low_temp. If one of the specifications heating_from_hour or heating_to_hour is not given, the target temperature depends only on the sensor_presence.

Name	Required	Description
entity_id	True	The climates enitity_id
sensor_on	False	The climate will be off when this sensors is on
sensor_off	False	The climate will be off when this sensors is off
sensor_presence	False	The climate will switch to active mode if this sensor is on
heating_from_hour	False	Start time from which heating is to start
heating_to_hour	False	End time to which the heating is to last
high_temp	False	Temperature for active hours (Default: 25)
low_temp	False	Temperature for inactive hours (Default: 20)
