Automation to increase thermostat temperature during Intelligent Octopus day slots

[radiatorsimon]

Good afternoon,

Beginner here trying to configure an automation and have got the IF conditions set so the automation is triggered between 5:30 - 23:30 (day time / peak slots) when my EV is charging and Octopus offer a cheap slot during the day.

Does anybody know how to create an automation where the action can increase the thermostat temperature by +1 or 2*C during these cheap slots? I cannot find this as an option under the device 'Heating' and the current configuration isn't reliable due to the way the schedules work on Daikin. Looking at the Daikin API there is a 'Temperature setpoint' feature which would ideal if it showed as an option under the Heating device to modify the setpoint.

See #79 for some yaml

Thank you - I've copied it and replaced the device ID with what I thought was correct but it doesn't seem to be working:

service: climate.set_temperature
data:
  temperature: 22
  hvac_mode: heat
target:
  device_id:
    - climate.central_heating_room_temperature

Should this be added in as 'Manually fire event' or something else?

Looks like this is the right entity given the attributes available:

Apologies if I've missed something obvious, I've not had much experience with automations previously.

Enable the debug log (see readme) and check the log

Thanks Johnny - there was a delay in the Onecta app refreshing when the thermostat was changed by Home Assistant, this is now working a treat! I also used the visual builder, but as it's working now here's the YAML for anyone else trying to do this if the other post doesn't work (noting the difference in device_id vs entity_id).

action: climate.set_temperature metadata: {} data: temperature: 22 hvac_mode: heat target: entity_id: climate.central_heating_room_temperature

Great that it works. There is always a delay, depends on a lot of things how fast it responds
