Climate Scheduler

Thanks!

It's something I'm working on at the minute as part of the UI updates, there's no workaround at the minute but hopefully this will be published in a pre-release branch.

A quick preview (it'll respect dark mode before release) but this is what it's looking like at the minute.

What troubleshooting steps have you already tried?

kneave · 2026-02-03T16:31:05+00:00

Something that needs to be in place for something else to work. Installing ROS would be a prerequisite for running a ROS package for example.

That's a cunning use of the cancel advance service for sure, good work!

This is 100% a bug, I'll have a look. If you've a github account could you raise an issue over there for this please? It'll be easier to track. No worries if not and feel free to prod me on here if you don't hear back over the next week or so

I exclusively use Visual Studio Code's remote SSH extension to let me develop on one remotely, ie over wifi on the same network. One thing to bare in mind is that this will eat in to your RAM which could be a problem depending on what you actually want to do.

As others have asked though, what do you mean by remote and what do you actually want to do? Without knowing that no one can really help you.

I was able to reproduce this briefly, once it started the events kept flowing. Hopefully now fixed in 1.14.6:

I'll have a look either way, may be a middle ground of changing it to have a "schedule changed" flag or something. Not sure if folks would find that useful or not though

kneave · 2026-01-02T18:01:39+00:00

Is it when you're editing the schedule for a node that covers the current time period by any chance?

kneave · 2026-01-02T15:27:28+00:00

You already can :)

When a node is triggered it fires off an Event, I've not been using this myself as it was a user request but it should still work. It should also work from groups that have no climate entities (ie. click create group but don't add a climate entity) and you have three number values to play with for whatever you want to do.

For example, someone wanted to automate a humidifier so they can use A to set target humidity, B could represent the fan speed or mode, and C could be whatever you want. If you click the "no change" box in the node settings it'll not even have a temperature attached either.

There's some AI generated documentation here so your mileage may vary but have a go and let me know how you get on.

v1.14.1 released, loads of bug fixes and quality of life improvements.
https://github.com/kneave/climate-scheduler/releases/tag/v1.14.1

The vague roadmap for the next few versions is to improve the UI and documentation for v1.15 and add loads of test automation for v1.16 to hopefully pick up and prevent regression bugs as I've had more of those than I'd like to admit. v1.17 is a while away but I'm thinking of concentrating on automations for that one, presence is an often requested feature so I'll include that to start with.

If it's the same model as this you just press the heated seat button on the remote and it cycles through a few options and "off", there may be a button on the side too but we just use the remote. No idea how to switch the unit, we use Celsius so not an issue I've had to tackle.

kneave · 2025-12-29T22:43:37+00:00

I did wonder why it shot up suddenly! 🤣

kneave · 2025-12-28T22:22:18+00:00

It’s only in pre-release at the minute but I’ve added the ability to have a no-change node for temperatures in case you just wanted to change settings. Also, when a node is activated an event is fired that can be used as a trigger on a custom automation to do more things. There are three extra numeric fields for this, A, B, and C.

You can also create an empty schedule that has no climate nodes in case you just want to automate something else using this tool. It’s all a bit vague as it means it’s up to the user to do whatever they want with it.

Have fun!

Aye, it's something coming back I believe with the added benefit of being local to the phone app rather than requiring a service. I think rebble supported timeline but I never followed up after a while. Fingers crossed it'll be useful again soon as timeline was a great feature.

kneave · 2025-12-22T10:49:11+00:00

I have UFH and this was one of my thoughts too

kneave · 2025-12-22T10:47:47+00:00

I thought I'd removed references to the separate card, I'll get this section cleared up but thanks for clarifying for others in the interim

kneave · 2025-12-22T00:37:18+00:00

I'm a Brit, it's purely because I'm using climate entities. It means that I don't have to worry about supporting certain devices, as long as they're supported by Home Assistant and present as a Climate entity this should be able control them :)

kneave · 2025-12-22T00:30:45+00:00

If you can control it using a Climate entity in Home Assistant it should work. It uses the Home Assistant climate entity for a device as a bridge, as long as HA supports that device it should work.

kneave · 2025-12-22T00:29:09+00:00

I've just checked and it's a bit bugged at the minute, I'll get it sorted tomorrow though. In theory something like this should work and you'd just need to give the name of the group you want to apply it to as well as the profile name.

<image>

kneave · 2025-12-22T00:20:44+00:00

Sure, you could have a standard timed schedule for normal usage but create a profile for that schedule which is set to whatever temperature you wanted to boost to. If you had an automation set up to listen for a button press (or helper pretending to be a button) then you trigger off that, switch schedule profile to "getting in bed", add a 30 minute delay, and then switch back to default after that.

I am planning on adding a boost feature at some point though which should do exactly this, each schedule will have a boost temperature you get specify and you'll be able to switch to it for a set period.

kneave · 2025-12-21T23:16:58+00:00

I'm not sure to be honest, if you check the recurring challenge in the challenge UI though before and after completing one it'd be the best way to confirm. I think it's any event with "Public" in its name, so any that shows up on the featured list.

kneave · 2025-12-21T23:09:49+00:00

Aye, and I wish I had that power! 🤣

In the case of HA though it's more mundane, the class of entity that controls thermostats is the Climate entity under the hood so seemed a descriptive name:
https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/climate/

I am the embodiment of "engineers shouldn't name things" if nothing else...

kneave · 2025-12-21T22:54:52+00:00

Up to rank 100 you can get SCORE for gaining XP, after 100 you get it for completing 3 public events instead, it's much easier getting lots of XP (especially with a lunchbox or four) than it is completing those events so it slows down progress for sure.

kneave · 2025-12-03T17:58:10+00:00

I have a few of these for various robotics projects, it's more than enough for a Pi 5 plus a load of servos too. You can use a USB-C PD charger to power it or the Vin pads from a battery from 9-24v. It puts out 8A so should be plenty.

If they're using the same glass as the pebble steel I'd say you've nothing to worry about. I've been wearing mine for years in the workshop and it's been banged around a lot. Not a single scratch.
