Split Type (Winter / Summer)

alt_text

The split typology adapts to an air-conditioned home through air conditioners (split).

The setup is represented by the diagram, in particular there are:

  • no. 3 rooms (Room 1 - Room 3)
  • no. 4 smart air conditioners (S1 - S4)
  • no. 3 Thermostats / Smart temperature sensors (T1 - T3)

Each room outlines a possible setup, below is an explanation of the configuration and how it must be implemented on the Home Assistant in order to use Homsai correctly.

Room 1 (only Air Conditioner)​

Room 1 contains only a smart air conditioner (S1).

In this case Home Assistant must contain:

  • An area representing the room “Room 1”, e.g. room_1
  • A climate entity which represents the air conditioner S1, and has the area room_1 (e.g. climate.s1)
  • A sensor entity which represents the current temperature of air conditioner S1, if not natively present, can be obtained by defining the template entity on configuration.yaml, and has the room_1 area (e.g. sensor.s1_temperature)

In this way Homsai is able to create and optimize the room "Room 1" correctly.

Room 2 (Air Conditioner and Thermostat)​

Room 2 contains a smart air conditioner (S2) and a smart thermostat (T1).

In this case Home Assistant must contain:

  • An area representing the room “Room 2”, e.g. room_2
  • A climate entity which represents the air conditioner S2, and has the area room_2 (e.g. climate.s2)
  • A sensor entity which represents the current temperature of air conditioner S2, if not natively present, can be obtained by defining the template entity on configuration.yaml, and has the room_2 area (e.g. sensor.s2_temperature)
  • A sensor entity which represents the current temperature of thermostat T1, and has the area room_1 (e.g. sensor.t1_temperature)

In this way Homsai is able to correctly create and optimize the "Room 2" room.

Room 3 (more than one Air Conditioner and/or more than one Thermostat)​

Room 3 contains two smart air conditioners (S3 and S4), a smart thermostat (T2) and a smart temperature/humidity sensor (T3).

In this case Home Assistant must contain:

  • An area which represents the room “Room 3”, e.g. room_3
  • A climate entity which represents the S3 air conditioner, and has the area room_3 (e.g. climate.s3)
  • A climate entity which represents the air conditioner S4, and has the area room_3 (e.g. climate.s4)
  • A sensor entity which represents the current temperature of the S3 air conditioner, if not natively present, can be obtained by defining the template entity on configuration.yaml, and has the room_3 area (e.g. sensor.s3_temperature)
  • A sensor entity which represents the current temperature of the S4 air conditioner, if not natively present, can be obtained by defining the template entity on configuration.yaml, and has the room_3 area (e.g. sensor.s4_temperature)
  • A sensor entity which represents the current temperature of thermostat T2, and has the area room_3 (e.g. sensor.t2_temperature)
  • A sensor entity which represents the current temperature of the T3 smart temperature/humidity sensor, and has the area room_3 (e.g. sensor.t3_temperature)

In this way Homsai is able to create and optimize the "Room 3" room correctly.
