Different schedules for workdays and weekends #162

Closed Kaibob2 closed 2 years ago

Checklist

Proposal

It would be great, if it would be possible to have different schedules for weekdays and weekends. I use the integration for 7 climate and 7 cover entities. Both groups require a workday and a weekend schedule which differ in the timeslots for on and off, temperatures or closing state. Currently i work around this problem by having one scheduler card for workdays and one for weekends. This is very chaotic as each card has 7 entities in it. Solution: Additional option "week" beside daily, workday, weekend and select. When week is selected there are two timeslot bars, one for weekdays, one for weekends.

Additional info

I think this is kinda standard scenario and many users might be in the same situation. Beside that: Absolutely great integartion! I love it and have no idea why this or something similar isn't integrated into Core. Keep up the good work and all the best for 2022.

Are you aware that you can create a single schedule for controlling multiple devices? There is no need for having 2x7 schedules for 7 covers, you can reduce it to 1 for weekdays and 1 for weekends.

I’m not planning to add support for combining multiple schedules in a single schedule. I think this would make the card more complex than it already is. What is so bad about having a schedule for workdays and a schedule for weekends?

Thanks for the fast reply. I already expected, that there are no plans for doing that. :) I'm aware that multiple entities can be combined in one schedule, but all covers open (and close) at different times. The heaters as well. This makes it necessary to have 7 heater schedules for weekdays and 7 for weekends. If, like right now, it's holiday time I would in fact need a third schedule with all heaters which is set to "daily". I circumvent this by changing the weekend schedule to "daily" which is fine, as it happens not that often that the whole family has holidays together. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that there might be a need for something like this. All the best.
