Climate Schedule Card

The HomematicIP Local Climate Schedule Card is a custom Lovelace card for displaying and editing thermostat schedules directly in the Home Assistant dashboard.

Features

  • Visual week schedule: See the entire week at a glance with color-coded temperature blocks
  • Interactive editing: Click any day to open the editor with time and temperature controls
  • Profile switching: Switch between schedule profiles (P1–P6) via dropdown
  • Active profile indicator: The currently active profile on the device is marked with an asterisk (*)
  • Multi-entity support: Switch between multiple thermostats in a single card
  • Custom profile names: Assign meaningful names to profiles (e.g. "Comfort", "Eco", "Away")
  • Responsive design: Works on desktop and mobile
  • Visual configuration: Configure via the UI editor — no YAML required
  • Bilingual: English and German

Installation

The card is automatically available when the HomematicIP Local integration is loaded — no manual installation required. It appears in the Lovelace card picker under HomematicIP Local Climate Schedule Card.

Migrating from HACS

If you previously installed this card via HACS, the integration-bundled version detects this and skips duplicate registration. You can remove the HACS card resource at your convenience: HACS → Frontend → remove the climate schedule card. Both versions coexist without conflicts during the transition.

Device Support

This card works with all Homematic devices that have week profile support and multiple profiles:

  • HomematicIP thermostats (e.g. HmIP-eTRV, HmIP-eTRV-2, HmIP-BWTH, HmIP-WTH)
  • Homematic thermostats via thermostat groups (HM-CC-RT-DN only via group)

Usage

Viewing Schedules

The card displays the weekly schedule as color-coded temperature blocks:

Color Range Temperature Description
Blue < 10°C Cold
Light Blue 10–14°C Cool
Cyan 14–17°C Mild Cool
Green 17–19°C Comfort Low
Light Green 19–21°C Comfort
Light Orange 21–23°C Warm
Orange 23–25°C Warmer
Deep Orange >= 25°C Hot

Hover over a block to see the exact time range and temperature.

Editing Schedules

  1. Click on any day row in the week view
  2. The editor opens showing all time slots for that day
  3. Adjust the base temperature at the top of the editor (background temperature for uncovered times)
  4. Modify end times and temperatures for each block
  5. Click + Add Time Block to add a heating period
  6. Click the trash icon to remove a block
  7. Click Save to apply changes to the thermostat

Automatic Block Merging

Consecutive time blocks with the same temperature are automatically merged when saving. For example, 06:00–08:00 at 22°C followed by 08:00–10:00 at 22°C becomes a single 06:00–10:00 block at 22°C.

Profile Switching

Use the profile dropdown to switch between P1–P6. The currently active profile on the device is marked with an asterisk (*).

Viewing vs. Activating

The profile dropdown in the card is for viewing and editing different profiles. To change the active profile on the device, use the Device Configuration Panel.

Schedule Format

The card uses the Simple Format: a base temperature plus explicit heating periods. Only periods that differ from the base temperature are stored.

Example: Base 17°C with one heating period:

Time Temperature Source
00:00 – 06:00 17.0°C Base temperature
06:00 – 22:00 21.0°C Heating period
22:00 – 24:00 17.0°C Base temperature

See Week Profiles for the full schedule data format and all available actions.

Permissions

By default, only admin users can edit schedules. To allow non-admin household members to edit schedules, enable this in the integration options under Schedule editing. See Schedule Editing for Non-Admin Users for details.
