Split Type (Winter / Summer)
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 arearoom_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 onconfiguration.yaml
, and has theroom_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 arearoom_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 onconfiguration.yaml
, and has theroom_2
area (e.g.sensor.s2_temperature
) - A
sensor
entity which represents the current temperature of thermostat T1, and has the arearoom_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 arearoom_3
(e.g.climate.s3
) - A
climate
entity which represents the air conditioner S4, and has the arearoom_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 onconfiguration.yaml
, and has theroom_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 onconfiguration.yaml
, and has theroom_3
area (e.g.sensor.s4_temperature
) - A
sensor
entity which represents the current temperature of thermostat T2, and has the arearoom_3
(e.g.sensor.t2_temperature
) - A
sensor
entity which represents the current temperature of the T3 smart temperature/humidity sensor, and has the arearoom_3
(e.g.sensor.t3_temperature
)
In this way Homsai is able to create and optimize the "Room 3" room correctly.
