# 🌡️ 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
|
|
Automatically turns off heating when windows or doors are opened, preventing energy waste. Configurable delay to avoid false triggers.
|
|
|
|
### 🌤️ Weather-Based Control
|
|
Monitors outdoor temperature and disables heating when it's warm enough outside. Includes adjustable winter mode threshold and delay settings.
|
|
|
|
### 📅 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
|
|
|
|
### 🏖️ 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).
|
|
|
|
### 🔄 Multi-Thermostat Sync
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
## 🛠️ Requirements
|
|
|
|
- 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
|
|
|
|
## 📊 Smart Logging
|
|
|
|
All mode changes are logged to your Home Assistant logbook for easy monitoring and debugging.
|
|
|
|
# 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. Logic coding was assisted by claude.ai. |
