Thermostat Increase temp based on remote sensor

[Player2]

I will try to explain this quick.

In my office I have a remote temperature sensor. When the office gets too cold I want the AC to turn up to a level that will likely shut it off.

My setup is below. I have it to where when the light is turned on (meaning I am in the office) AND the temperature is less than 72 to increase the AC.

It works when I test it, but does not seem to work on its own. Is it possible it will only work 1x? If so is there a condition to have it able to repeat multiple times in a day?

Thanks.

Indeed the current flow only gets triggered once when the light is turned on.

It’s best to have the regular changing value of the temperature sensor trigger the flow, where the light has to be on, like:

When… remote sensor Y temperature changes

And.. light X is on (this usually is done with a yes/no logic card

And.. logic card - [temperature] is less than 72

Then.. thermostat - set cool temp to 25.5

Thanks, but would flipping the tempature and light status not result in the same thing of only triggering once?

this is something I would want to trigger anytime those (temp and light status) are met. This typically gets triggered anytime the AC turns on as it cools down quick in this particular room.

No, the temperature changes once every x minutes in general, the light only gets switched on once when you enter the office.

Meaning, the temperature triggers the flow quite often, the light only when turned on.

Ok so thinking something like this? I will test it out

This won’t work. Let’s say the temperature drops below 72 at 8 and you enter the office at 9.

So the flow triggers at 8 and stops immediately because the office light is not on.

Indeed.

@Player2 This is what I advice(d):

@Peter_Kawa

When… remote sensor Y temperature changes

And.. light X is on (this usually is done with a yes/no logic card

And.. logic card - [temperature] is less than 72

[Player2]

So something like this?
