Feature request: Central configuration for presets

[kvanbiesen]

Versatile thermostat with central configuration work great with setting the target temperature.

But for the moment we have to set the preset like 'eco' to all the vtherm appliances separately.

Wouldn't it be nice if you set a certain preset on the central configuration, also propagates to all the underlying vtherms.

Kinda like the heating/cooling setting but for the presets

Hello, what is the use case ? On my home, it is really not a need: each VTherm have its own preset depending of presence, time of day, ...

I guess you have a special use case for needing something like that.

[kvanbiesen]

Cause usually all presets happen when they they go in frost or comfort.

Comfort can be different for different rooms but usually same a global setting. Cause since it's central config, and it can define global mode (heating/cooling,...) I don't see why preset can be set globally. Should be to much change? People don't have to use if, just be available

No it is easy to do, but I only want to do useful things because I have a lot of work. I will think about that.

[kvanbiesen]

Yeah no I get that. Just throwing up an idea. Thanks for your hard work!

If you wanted to do this with just template work - you could use the following to get a list of all VTherm climates to pass into climate.set_preset:

{{ states.climate | map(attribute="entity_id") | select("is_device_attr", "manufacturer", "JMCOLLIN") | list }}

It's what I used to use with my "override" buttons in a similar way to what you're asking for

Yes. So, you are at least, two with the same needs.

I've actually moved away from that now. I use the schedule state integration for setting the preset for each room and it that can do conditionals in a much more robust way than Scheduler - so when I press a button it switches all room schedules to follow the master schedule, giving me the behaviour I (very occasionally) want but individual control the rest of the time

[kvanbiesen]

It's not a high demand. Currently I made a select box helper with the states and a run a automation when the state gets changed. It's updates all presets on all vtherms. Works perfectly, even with the scheduler card.

ok. I will close the feature request for now.
