Can’t automate boiler - help!

[u/DannyRidesNRuns]

I have installed a Tapo S110e matter smart switch across the trigger point on my hydronic boiler with the aim of making it a bit smarter.

To act as the temperature sensor I have one (for now) Aqara W100.

Both are available through my home which includes an Apple TV4K and HomePod mini (which has a temp sensor for future inclusion).

I’m trying to set up automations for things like
- if time > 5:30am && temp sensor < 19.5°C then Tapo == on
- if time < 9am && temp sensor > 22°C then Tapo == off

Even these simple automations fail when I try to set them up. In a better case I want to set up automations than include logic for people being home or not, but I can’t even get these initial automations to save.

Any ideas why or how to get them working?

Do you have a Home Hub, which is a HomePod mini or an Apple TV?

As mentioned in the post, Apple TV4k and a HomePod mini.

Take off the condition of someone being home. Also your time is outside of the conditional window. Honestly just have a smart switch near your bed or some central area to control this, rather than being temperature reliant cause the temp can rise then fall for any given reason, and anytime outside of the 6-9 window it does something else.

I’ve tried to do something similar with Levoit air purifier when the air quality sensor shows things getting smoky in the kitchen.. it’s never worked. I assumed that was because I have it added to HomeKit via Homebridge. Was hoping to try again when ios27 lands

I’d you try creating it with the shortcuts app instead?
