Nest or ecobee #4

Closed IsaacBreuer closed 4 years ago

IsaacBreuer commented 4 years ago

I have it working in hass, but I wonder if it possible to ha e it hooked up somehow to a nest or ecobee thermostat

I don't have knowledge of those devices so I don't know why you need to use another smart(er?) thermostat to control an already smart heat pump. However, I assumed that you can hook everything up to HA already. Once all of them are in HA, you can use automation to bridge between them. For example, write automation which is triggered when nest/ecobee mode or target temperature changed and then copy that change to heat pump.

The reason I want to add a mother smart/dumb thermostat, is because if using hass it relies on wifi and other communication, in case something is wrong with network the system will run indefinitely and break, but by having a conventional thermostat it will be handled locally at the heat pump
