Multiple heater entities #4

Closed roko146 closed 2 years ago

roko146 commented 2 years ago

Hello, very good integration to control. But I have a question. Is it possible to set more entities to heater property e.g.?

heater: switch.on_off_relay_pin_1 switch.on_off_relay_pin_2 switch.on_off_relay_pin_3 switch.on_off_relay_pin_4

Hello, my understanding of the code is that it does not support multiple heater entities. If you need to control several relays with the thermostat output, you may use templates or scripts instead.

Hi @roko146 , that is easy - configure a group in HA /config/groups.yaml like so:

on_off_relay_all_pins:
  name: "On Off Relay All Pins"
  entities:
    - switch.on_off_relay_pin_1
    - switch.on_off_relay_pin_2
    - switch.on_off_relay_pin_3
    - switch.on_off_relay_pin_4

Then use the switch.on_off_relay_all_pins as the heater.
