Set Breeze

The Set Breeze action configures the Breeze function of your Renson ventilation unit. Breeze increases ventilation when the outdoor temperature rises above a set value, which helps cool your home naturally.

You set the ventilation level to use, the temperature that activates Breeze, and whether the function is turned on.

Targets of the action

This action requires a target. The target is the object of the action. You can point the action at a single entityAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or function in Home Assistant. Entities are used to monitor physical properties or to control other entities. An entity is usually part of a device or a service. [Learn more], a device, an area, a floor, or a label, and Home Assistant will run the action on every matching fan entity behind that target.

• Entity: one specific fan entity, such as fan.living_room.
• Device: every fan entity that belongs to a device.
• Area: every fan entity in a room or area.
• Floor: every fan entity on a floor.
• Label: every fan entity that shares a label.

You can also select different target types in one action. For example, you can add a specific entity and an area as targets in the same action to run the action on both of them at once.

Using this action from the user interface

If you prefer building automations and scripts visually, Home Assistant walks you through this action step by step. You pick what to target, tweak a few options, and save. No YAML knowledge required.

To configure Breeze from an automation or a script:

1. Go to Settings > Automations & scenes.
2. Open an existing automation or script, or select Create automation > Create new automation.
3. If you’re setting up a new automation, add a trigger in the When section. Scripts don’t need a trigger. They run when something else calls them.
4. In the Then do section, select Add action.
5. Select what you want to control. Under By target (see Targets), select the Renson ventilation unit.
6. From the actions shown for that target, select Renson: Set Breeze.
7. Select the Level and Temperature, then turn Activate on or off.
8. Select Save.

Options in the UI

Using this action in YAML

If you work directly in YAML, or you want to know exactly what Home Assistant does under the hood, this section has the technical reference. It lists the field names you use in YAML, their types, and which ones are required.

In YAML, refer to this action as renson.set_breeze. A basic example looks like this:

action: renson.set_breeze
target:
  entity_id: fan.ventilation
data:
  breeze_level: level3
  temperature: 22
  activate: true

This turns on Breeze at level 3 when the outdoor temperature rises above 22 °C.
