FR: Condition before turning on #35

t0bse commented 1 year ago

Hi, it would be great, if i can set a condition before my device is turned on. i.E. my Airconditioner should only turn on, if it's hot enough. but this condition also needs a slider, to set a time, how often it should be checked again.

Not sure if i miss something @InventoCasa , but agree here, like i have a dishwasher, it shouldn't run every day ... but if i could have a toggle saying "ready" then the automation would pick it up 🤔

very interesting for my swiming pool and my pump. I can create a entity "on" when the pool reach the maximun time i want the pump is working. (i use a counter for this)

Yes! In the same way that standard Automations have 'conditions', it can be useful to have these to decide whether to enable a particular load.

You can do that already. You can deactivate the automation if it is not hot enough and activate it, if it is hot again.

Sure, but it adds an extra layer of complexity for the user to have to manage the automation using a second automation. 'Standard' Automations are expected by users to have Triggers, and Conditions. This blueprint does not (yet) support Conditions.
