Hey folks, big noob here and have an issue I can’t seem to find an answer for.
Basics:
• Floor Heating Thermostat (was advised was best for our old oil burner that heats radiators and water together)
•Can only turn heating on/off or thermostat that is in a non moveable area (cold. rest of house will be a toaster if we rely on the thermostat built in)
• Need to set some sort of a timer or automation so that it turns the heating off again after 1/2/3 hours per se
• No option seems to be available in Tuya App or in HA when looking through settings or automations
• VERY basic HA knowledge
• I have set automations before to turn sockets and plugs on and off based on separate thermostats/presence sensors and they work fine but this has me beat.
• Yes I am however aware that I have purchase the wrong equipment but I am also unaware of any switch etc that can do the basic features I want which is a standard timer analogue or digital for our home heating which had a “Boost” button on the front. You pressed it once for 1 hour, twice for 2 hours etc. I just wanted to add smart on/off feature to it so if we were on our way home I could put the heating on for us coming home.
I know I am being very vague here in a lot of things although I’m not sure really where to start.
Tuya App:
And nothing really in advanced settings other than turn heat on or off on which day at what time which isn’t what I need.
I am up to buying a new switch if someone can recommend the most basic switch with the likes of a boost function that i can turn on or off away from home but if not I need to find a way around this issue for now before the wife kills me lol
