How are you scheduling your climate/hvac temperatures? I'm currently using the scheduler card, which works ok, I'm just wondering if there's a better option available. I just need a simple way to schedule the daily schedules.

I have a heat pump/mini splits, so I'd like to be able to schedule these independently. I do usually have them off in the summer, and a couple of the integrations I've looked at don't have that ability, just a minimum temperature. I could however, just disable the schedule during summer, I haven't fully decided on that yet.

I'm just curious what others are using/prefer.

A couple I've looked at, but seem like overkill for simple scheduling (feel free to tell me I'm wrong/overlooked something):

  1. velair
  2. versatile thermostat
  3. there was another I looked at briefly and don't remember the name, but realized it was vibe-coded, so those aren't generally maintained very long

Edit: the minisplits I have don't have an actual thermostat. I use esphome controllers to control each one via wifi

I feel you on not knowing where the break even point of heat pumps is! It's so frustrating that that isn't published.

Well it would vary for every house, season, amount of sunlight, etc. It'd require extensive testing and data collection to determine.
