So let me try to answer some off your questions.
To 1.
My Setup is following:
- one thermostat in every room
- in the living room a thermostat and a wallthermostat
- i have for every room a heat and a cool variable
- just for the last room not (was implemented yesterday and cool variable is not necessary like i found out now)(1 year later)
- the temperatures are set by time
- and a Urlaubsswitch >> disables the rules and sets the temp to 5°C
hmm thats all i think
Here a picture of my heating GUI
and here some rules
{

So the room concept ,
when you setup the thermostats in pimatic like a room then you can switch them like that.
To 2/3.
setup a variable for the room temperature,
setup a rule where your thermostats in this room where set to the variables temperature.
and thats it.
just pass through the temperature from the variable
or i’m wrong?
Ah just read your post again.
no i don’t think there would be smarter way. Or look into the my thermostat-plugin.
just played with it before some month.
(here you have to work with rules and variables too)
- here you can set the “room” to the behavior of the my thermostat
- and when you switch the thermostat of, you could use the thermostats alone.
To 4.
Yes i only use the cube by pimatic, the internet-app doesn’t work then.
And like you see in my GUI. i have a 433MHz plug to switch the cube on/off because sometimes pimatic doesn’t connect
- toggle the plug, restart pimatic and then it works again.
so i hope i could help a bit.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
