## the Versatile Thermostat UI Card
|
||||
A dedicated card for the Versatile Thermostat has been developed (based on Better Thermostat). It is available here: [Versatile Thermostat UI Card](https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile-thermostat-ui-card) and offers a modern view of all the VTherm statuses:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## the Scheduler Component!
|
||||
|
||||
To make the most out of the Versatile Thermostat, I recommend using it with the [Scheduler Component](https://github.com/nielsfaber/scheduler-component). The scheduler component provides climate scheduling based on predefined modes. While this feature is somewhat limited with the generic thermostat, it becomes very powerful when paired with the Versatile Thermostat.
|
||||
|
||||
Assuming you have installed both the Versatile Thermostat and the Scheduler Component, here’s an example:
|
||||
|
||||
In Scheduler, add a schedule:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Choose the "Climate" group, select one (or more) entity, pick "MAKE SCHEME," and click next:
|
||||
(You can also choose "SET PRESET," but I prefer "MAKE SCHEME.")
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Define your mode scheme and save:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In this example, I set ECO mode during the night and when no one is home during the day, BOOST in the morning, and COMFORT in the evening.
|
||||
|
||||
I hope this example helps; feel free to share your feedback!

## Regulation curves with Plotly to Fine-Tune Your Thermostat
|
||||
You can obtain a curve similar to the one shown in [some results](#some-results) using a Plotly graph configuration by leveraging the thermostat's custom attributes described [here](#custom-attributes):
|
||||
|
||||
Replace the values between `[[ ]]` with your own.

## Event notification with the AppDaemon NOTIFIER
|
||||
This automation leverages the excellent AppDaemon app named NOTIFIER, developed by Horizon Domotique, demonstrated [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chJylIK0ASo&ab_channel=HorizonDomotique), and the code is available [here](https://github.com/jlpouffier/home-assistant-config/blob/master/appdaemon/apps/notifier.py). It allows users to be notified of security-related events occurring on any Versatile Thermostat.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a great example of using the notifications described here: [notification](#notifications).
