Okay, I got it running and I now see what you mentioned.
My gBridge sub device has the name TEST. The dummy thermostat is set to 25°. The measured temp is 22°. auxiliary
is a RaspBeeMultiSensor.
When I ask “What is the current temperatur of TEST” I get the response “The temperature is set to 22°”.
When I ask “What is the temperatur of TEST” I get the response "Heating is set to 25°. With a current temperature of 22°. Humidity was always zero.
Seems GA is not able to response only the current measured temperatur.
An other way is to keep auxiliary
empty and to change the dummy thermostat via a rule. Tested with a different device. This device does not work via the auxiliary
trick. On this way the measured temp is the state of the thermostat. Not perfect, but it is nearly that what I like to hear, when I ask for the current temperature.
when $esp-aquariummodul-mqtt.temperatur gets updated then set temp of pimatic-temperatur-test to $esp-aquariummodul-mqtt.temperature
What I miss is really to use a variable device or a at least °C
and %
providing (sub)devices as auxiliary
.
Would be nice if you could allow such devices. Maybe not everything will work, but most of the possible use cases could be covered this way.
