A few automation ideas

Here are some automation ideas that will make your life easier:
Automatisations de temps
Time automations
Pour une économie d’argent
To save money
Create an automation that will take dynamic pricing into account and activate your thermostats before peak hours (6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.).
With this type of automation, your location will be at a comfortable temperature during your energy supplier’s busy hours, and it will help you reduce your electricity bill.
For example, if you are used to maintaining a temperature of 20 ° C and waking up at 6 a.m., set your thermostat so that the temperature is 22 ° C an hour before you wake up. So the temperature will slowly cool down while you get ready for work.
