Hast du mal getestet um Strom zu sparen (z.B. wenn von der Sonne nichts kommt), das die Klima nur auf Mindestlast läuft?

[@simonsayshomeassistant]

Hi, I have not tested that but it would certainly be a great automation!

[@zoltanlakatos5270]

Hi, thanks for sharing this. What do you think about the Shelly Gen2 devices? All those devices has the same configurable options in HA. Is there any differences?

@@zoltanlakatos5270 Hi, thank you so much for your feedback! Yes I love the Shelly gen 2 relays and I have lots of them running for over a year now in my home. The gen 3 just offer a few new features like the Bluetooth proxy

@@simonsayshomeassistant What @zoltanlakatos5270 meant was that Gen2 also offered BT proxy.

@@simonsayshomeassistant oh, so even though gen2 has Bluetooth and shows up in HA with configure passive/active it won't actually work? Only gen3 will work?

[@simonsayshomeassistant]

@@BigLeafDropper86 Yes, Gen 2 uses bt for setup but only gen 3 will run as a bt proxy

[@simonsayshomeassistant]

@@BigLeafDropper86 Yes the gen 2 only uses BT for provisioning. You need the Gen 3 to act as a BT Proxy

[@BigLeafDropper86]

but how do I use the proxy? I add the Bluetooth add-in and no adaptor detected

[@simonsayshomeassistant]

Hi, not proxy is required, it will start picking up BT devices the moment that you enable the BT on the device. I know I was confused by this too!
