Very nice! And thank you for your inspiration! :) You know that you can create a climate entity in helpers? Go to helpers > Add generic thermostat helper. You can select a sensor and add a socket. Now you can select a climate mushroom card for example.
Ah thats quite clever. I basically created the same, but manually ;) But its nice to have it in an automation so I can use other conditions as well, not just the temperature sensor.
Hey! Firstly, want to say I really love all your videos! Very cool stuff :) I tried to do this with my AC to cool the room when it gets too hot but it only works sometimes. I have changed the mode from single to restart but that didn't seem to work. Any other suggestions?
Is your AC smart from the start, or do you make it smart with a plug? This technique is probably best with a dumb heater/cooler thats connected to a plug with only on/off states. I have another smart thermostat and my automation for that looks a bit different.
really cool, I Like that and think I'll set something up with my wall towel dryer, which I want to make smart with a Shelly 1 I´ve flying around. But I´m sill wondering: You would be able to trigger the oven manually by the button card, even though the target temperature is already BELOW the value of you temperature sensor right, or am I wrong? If yes, It would be clever to avoid running the oven in this cases. So I would probably create a script that's checks this and as tap_action trigger script.turn_on service. Does this make sense?
Yeah youre right. If target temperature is lower it would run until 9pm or you manually turn it off again. But I actually think thats how I want it. It could feel cold even though its 21 degrees, so I just use it to get a little heat boost. But yeah, a script is clever.
@@My_Smart_Home Yeah, the felt-like (kind of) temperature can be different, especially during winter time. Btw. didn't you have the Sonoff presence sensor? Is there an update video planned about your experience so far?
Always love the content, but a couple of warnings here… this can be safe, but a few considerations if using a space heater. 1) Automations on dumb heaters which won’t have a tilt sensor can be dangerous. If the heater falls over, it can be a fire hazard if it is on/turned on without someone around. If a cat knocks it over and then an automation turns it on, it can cause fires. 2) In North America at least, there are a lot of smart plugs which support 120v @ 15 amp, however they are not designed for motor usage or continuous use at the maxed designed amps. Some smart plugs can actually melt and catch on fire by running them hard. Check out this video on smart plugs plus heaters: th-cam.com/video/g8LtO_rWZ40/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1etw9y1rC_xAbvg8
This is definitely important! The heater I use is maybe more like an oven? It doesnt have a motor in it and it is resistive load. The plug is rated for 16A (3840W) while the oven is 1000W. So I think it should be ok? The oven is the kind that is mounted to the wall and is very common here in Scandinavia. But yeah, heat is definitely something I monitor closely.
This dude has an ambilight setup.
Sat watching this and enjoying the purple hue moving around the screen. Very nice
Haha glad you like it :)

@@My_Smart_Home my old rental didnt have central air just 3 window units and i used the generic thermostat worked like a charm

can you help me in making a timer card, like appliance should run only a set amount of time and amount of time can be adjusted using -,+ button
I'll try to figure something out

@@deralte680 I do, but I dont really use it anymore. It was almost too sensitive, and I couldnt get it to a cleared state again.

As always, very nice content! Thank you :) I’ve wrote you on Reddit, have you seen that?
Oh sorry, haven't seen that. I'm not really that active on Reddit. I'll check
How did you learn to code like that?
I'm not expert at all. But I've been making websites since I was 15/16 years old. Im now almost 40.
@@My_Smart_HomeI tried to copy this and also tried the helper in HA but nothing happens :/
