Hello - Below is some “pseudo code” for an automation idea I have. I’m a new Pellet Stove owner. Several times this last winter I’ve forgotten to reload pellets into the stove so I started thinking about an automation to help me in those situations.
Does this seem like a reasonably easy automation? I have all of the thermostats/sensors already in HA today and have been using HA for several years now.
Automation:
Trigger #1 - Pellet.Stove hvac_action = heating
capture existing room temp into a variable
start a 45 minute countdown counter
Trigger #2 - Counter ends
if the room temp has gone UP - do nothing
otherwise
trigger an email alert to check the pellet hopper
