Hi everyone, I’m diving into the world of smart home automation and I’m really excited to share my journey with you! I recently acquired a Google Nest Thermostat (third generation) and I’m looking to integrate it with my smart plugs to create a seamless HVAC system. The goal is to have the booster fan activate whenever the HVAC is heating or cooling, and turn off when the system is inactive.
I’ve been experimenting with various automations, but I’m finding it a bit challenging to get the desired flexibility. I’d love to hear if anyone has successfully implemented a similar setup or has any tips on how to approach this.
One thing I’ve noticed is the importance of accurate device integration. Ensuring that the smart plugs and the thermostat communicate effectively is crucial for smooth operation. I’m also considering whether to use the built-in automation features or explore more advanced scripting options for greater control.
If anyone has experience with this or any resources they could share, I’d be incredibly grateful. Let’s collaborate and make our smart homes even smarter!
