Whoooooa awesome! I just started adding a ton of independent scripts for a new ZigBee thermostat and it was getting messy fast.
Can't wait to tinker with this next weekend!
Update. After installing and basic setup, I woke up to a toasty house and the heater running practically alllll night.
PG&E is going to ream me with a hot poker this month. Oopsie!
Note to others: set reminders to do periodic testing. Don't just go to sleep like me. Haha!
yes, you should definitely check regularly if the Automation does what you want, there are some stumbling blocks e.g. Difference of presence detection and persons. I spent about a month until I've understand enough so that it does what I want :)
