# ha-smart-thermostat-control
# Acknowledgement and background
I tried different Home Assistant add-ons and integrations, but wasn't really satisfied in controlling room temperature in our house. The heating is based on central heating and radiators with different Zigbee-based termostats.
This blueprint for HA was initially inspired by [ha-smarter-thermostat by muratcesmecioglu](https://github.com/muratcesmecioglu/ha-smarter-thermostat), but deviated through extending to also include an away calendar and a manual overwrite mode to allow manual inputs on the thermostats.

Coding was based on claude.ai.
# 🌡️ Smart Thermostat Controller Blueprint
An intelligent Home Assistant automation that manages your heating based on multiple conditions for optimal comfort and energy efficiency.
## ✨ Features
###🪟 Window/Door Detection
### 🪟 Window/Door Detection
Automatically turns off heating when windows or doors are opened, preventing energy waste. Configurable delay to avoid false triggers.
### 🌤️ Weather-Based Control

### 📅 Schedule-Based Temperature Control
Uses a schedule helper or calendar to set different temperatures for:
☀️ Day Mode - Higher comfort temperature during active hours
🌙 Night Mode - Lower temperature for sleeping or away periods
- **☀️ Day Mode** - Higher comfort temperature during active hours
- **🌙 Night Mode** - Lower temperature for sleeping or away periods
### 🏖️ Holiday/Away Mode
Integrates with a calendar to automatically reduce heating when you're away. Smart pre-heating starts before you return home (configurable offset).

Manual adjustment of any thermostat instantly syncs all others to the same temperature, giving you quick override control.
### 🎯 Priority-Based Logic
1. Manual adjustments (highest priority)
2. Windows/doors open → heating OFF
3. Too warm outside → heating OFF
4. Away mode → reduced temperature
5. Day/night schedule → comfort temperatures
Manual adjustments (highest priority)
## 🛠️ Requirements
Windows/doors open → heating OFF
- Window/door sensor(s) (binary_sensor)
- Outdoor temperature sensor
- Climate entity (thermostat)
- Schedule helper OR calendar for day/night timing
- Calendar for away/holiday periods
Too warm outside → heating OFF
## 📊 Smart Logging
Away mode → reduced temperature
Day/night schedule → comfort temperatures
