How are you scheduling your climate/hvac temperatures? I’m currently using the scheduler card, which works ok, I’m just wondering if there’s a better option available. I just need a simple way to schedule the daily schedules.
I have a heat pump/mini splits, so I’d like to be able to schedule these independently. I do usually have them off in the summer, and a couple of the integrations I’ve looked at don’t have that ability, just a minimum temperature. I could however, just disable the schedule during summer, I haven’t fully decided on that yet.
I’m just curious what others are using/prefer.
A couple I’ve looked at, but seem like overkill for simple scheduling (feel free to tell me I’m wrong/overlooked something):
- velair
- versatile thermostat
- there was another I looked at briefly and don’t remember the name, but realized it was vibe-coded, so those aren’t generally maintained very long
Edit: the minisplits I have don’t have an actual thermostat. I use esphome controllers to control each one via wifi
There’s a “Generic Thermostat” helper entity that lets you point to other sensors and switches and then you can use all the thermostat features in HA.
