smarterzones

An appdaemon app to automatically control climate zones (on/off) only depending on localised temperatures. Supports multiple conditions being set before action is taken (ALL conditions must be met), and manual override with an input_boolean

Here is what every option means:

Minimum Configuration

Name	Type	Default	Description
climatedevice	string	Required	An entity_id within the climate domain.
exteriortempsensor	string	Required	An entity_id with a temperature value as state
common_zone_switch	string	Optional	If your AC requires a common zone, specify the switch entity here, and the zone will always be on. This is an alternate approach to leaving the zone out of the list
force_auto_fan	bool	False	Whether the fan should be set to an auto mode.
zone	object	Required	Zone objects that will be controlled

Zone Object

Name	Type	Default	Description
name	string	Required	Name of the zone
zone_switch	string	Required	An entity_id within the switch domain.
local_tempsensor	string	Required	An entity_id that has a temperature as its state.
target_temp	string	Required	An entity_id that has a temperature or number as its state.
manual_override	string	Optional	Entity_id of an input_boolean
coolingoffset	object	Optional	Temperature offset object. If no object provided defaults to 0.3
heatingoffset	object	Optional	Temperature offset object. If no object provided defaults to 0.3
conditions	object	Optional	Condition object. Multiple conditions can be specified

Temperature Offset Object

Name	Type	Default	Description
upperbound	float	Required	Value above setpoint that local_tempsensor can reach. Required if coolingoffset or heatingoffset is specified. This will be the amount over the preferred temperature (ie. 20 degrees + upperbound)
lowerbound	float	Required	Value below setpoint that local_tempsensor can reach. Required if coolingoffset or heatingoffset is specified. This will be the amount below the preferred temperature (ie. 20 degrees - lowerbound)

Condition Object

Name	Type	Default	Description
entity	string	Required	Entity_id of the entity to match. Required if conditions is specified.
targetstate	string	Required	The state the entity must be in for the automtic control to work. Required if conditions is specified.

A typical example of the configuration in the apps.yaml file will look like
