I think we're getting the two threads mixed up. This thread is about using different sensors depending on the time of day.
So I thought about setting up multiple Controllers with restrictions to ensure only one is active at once and HOPING that once a Controller becomes active, the setpoint of the related Controller device will get pushed to the real thermostat (no rules needed?). But it looks like this idea was already discussed back in 2020 but unclear if it really works and even if it does, was considered a hack:
If it helps, the chart below is what I'm trying to achieve. I thought I would need four controllers if trying the restriction option.
It's getting a bit hard to manage. It's also confusing that each controller app instance also creates a controller device. Does the controller device's setpoint get pushed to the controlled thermostat's setpoint?
