AppDaemon-Climate

AppDaemon app for HACS.

What is this?

This is an appdaemon app that controls your theromstat via Homeassisant. This appp has the ability to target specific areas of your house and prioritize them depending on the time of day.

Installation

Download the hacs directory from inside the apps directory here to your local apps directory, then add the configuration to enable the hacs module.

Features

App configuration

The configuration is broken into 4 parts.

  1. AD Configuration
  2. Single required application parameters
  3. Sensor/target area configuration
  4. Temperature preferences

Any "key" in the inside_temperature_sensors configuration must map to a target area in preferences.
