Not pulling target from sensor

[mikesumbler]

Hi,

Ended up using config.yaml to set parameters but I still can't get the thermostat to except the sensor target.

=== climate:

• platform: programmable_thermostat name: Central Heating Thermostat (VPT) heater: switch.thermostat_receiver actual_temp_sensor: sensor.battery_powered_wall_thermostat_air_temperature min_temp: 15 max_temp: 25 target_temp_sensor: sensor.battery_powered_wall_thermostat_set_point tolerance: 0.3 hvac_options: 7 auto_mode: all min_cycle_duration: minutes: 5

  sensor.battery_powered_wall_thermostat_set_point is taken from a template as its contained in the state attributes of climate control (a HRT4ZW), i.e.

===

• platform: template sensors: battery_powered_wall_thermostat_set_point: unit_of_measurement: '°C' friendly_name: "Central Heating Thermostat Setpoint" value_template: "{{ state_attr('climate.battery_powered_wall_thermostat', 'temperature') }}"

===

Want to use the thermostat to set the target and pass to the switch. The switch after an extension is out of the rannge of where the thermostat is so I use the controller as the bridge to it.

Which logs do you need?

Thanks in advance

Mike

Ah - sorry, as per Issue#23, you have to set to heat/cool mode.

Thanks for a great app.

Cheers Mike

Hello

I noticed the same, the temperature is tracked only in auto mode, but not in heat mode.

In my use case, I would need tracking in Heat mode to allow using the same schedule (from the Scheduler component), to allow setting the HVAC mode in the same schedule.

It would be a nice to have if the HVAC mode could track another one in order to keep in sync with another climate module.

If needed I'll create a separate case, but this seems related.

I have the thermostat set to auto mode and it isn't really heating.

- platform: programmable_thermostat
  name: 'Principal Aux'
  #heater: light.tz3000_5ng23zjs_ts0001_8d421efe_on_off
  heater:
    - switch.principal_aux_on_off
  actual_temp_sensor: sensor.principal_temperature
  target_temp_sensor: sensor.principal_aux_temperature
  min_temp: 7
  max_temp: 23
  #hvac_options: 3
  hvac_options: 5
  auto_mode: heating
  #ac_mode: false
  min_cycle_duration:
     seconds: 60
  tolerance: 0.2
  initial_hvac_mode: 'off'

I can switch on switch.principal_aux_on_off manually.

The temperature is also not tracked in "Off" mode - tracking in off mode ensures that the right temperature is set when switched on.

Ciao,

@mikesumbler: I didn't well understood your issue, can you calrify it :)

@mdweerd:

• well heat_cool mode is automatic and tracking the temperature. heat and cool mode instead are thought as manual. if you need an automatic with only heating you just have to setup the heater and it will manage only heating. then you can play also with hvac_options as per specs.
• about the turning on and off, can you please double check your setup? I have 8 instances of it and it is working.. maybe the light is managing the turn on service differently?
