blueprint:
  name: Area Valve Temperature Offset Calibration
  author: Andreas Gammelgaard Damsbo (Revised by AI)
  description: |
    Automatically calibrate the temperature offset of ALL smart radiator valves (TRVs)
    in a specified area using readings from an external room temperature sensor.
    
    This version runs on a time schedule and only updates the offset if the calculated
    value differs from the current value on the valve, reducing unnecessary communication.
    
    The blueprint discovers all climate entities in the chosen area and updates their
    corresponding temperature offset entities based on the difference between each
    valve's internal sensor and the actual room temperature.
    
    Example use case:
      - **area**: Living Room
      - **external_sensor**: sensor.living_room_temperature
      - **run_interval**: /10 (every 10 minutes)

    target_area:
      name: Area
      description: >
        Select the area containing the thermostatic valves you want to calibrate.
        All climate entities in this area will be automatically calibrated.
      selector:
        area: {}

    external_sensor:
      name: External temperature sensor
      description: >
        Select the temperature sensor that measures the actual room temperature
        for this area.
      selector:
        entity:
          domain: sensor
          device_class: temperature

    run_interval:
      name: Run Interval
      description: >
        How often to check for offset updates. Format is a time pattern string
        (e.g., '/10' for every 10 minutes, '0' for every hour on the hour).
      default: "/10"
      selector:
        text: {}

    rounding_step:
      name: Rounding step for offset value
      description: >
        Define the step to which calculated offsets should be rounded.
        Use 0.5 for valves that support half-degree steps, or 1.0 for full degrees.
      default: 1.0
      selector:
        number:
          min: 0.1

          unit_of_measurement: "°C"

    manual_correction:
      name: Manual correction (bias)
      description: >
        Additional manual bias applied to computed offsets **before rounding**.
        Positive value makes valves think it's warmer (reduces heating sooner).
        Negative value makes valves think it's cooler (prolongs heating).
      default: 0.0
      selector:
        number:
          min: -1.0
          max: 1.0

    offset_entity_suffix:

        The text pattern used to identify offset number entities.
