Hi. I’ve been using HA for a few years and learn more and more all the time. I think what I need involves a value template but I don’t know enough about it to know what to ask so I will just summarize what I want to do:
I have a couple of Zigbee thermostats that can be kinda flaky but aren’t so bad that I am ready to replace them. The problem is that they do not always accept the setpoint that is sent to them so things get out of wack.
I thought I would change my automations from setting the setpoint and have them set a helper variable instead and then write another automation that executes every few minutes makes sure the setpoint matches the variable. That’s where I am stuck. I can’t seem to write a automation that checks to make sure the setpoint and the variable match and changes the setpoint if they do not. I think it has something do do with a value template but I’m not sure.
Any help you can offer will be appreciated.
