Set the full state of a Sensibo device

Use this action to send a complete state to a Sensibo climate device in one command, instead of changing each setting separately.

The values must match what the Sensibo API expects, and they are case-sensitive. Only provide the fields your device supports. Use the Get device mode capabilities action first to find the valid values for your device.

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 set the full state 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 Sensibo climate device.
6. From the actions shown for that target, select Sensibo: Set full state.
7. Select the HVAC mode and set the other options your device supports.
8. Select Save.

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 sensibo.full_state. A basic example looks like this:

action: sensibo.full_state
target:
  entity_id: climate.living_room
data:
  mode: heat
  target_temperature: 23

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 climate entity behind that target.

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

Good to know

• All values are case-sensitive and must match what the Sensibo API expects. Use the Get device mode capabilities action to find the valid values for your device.
• Only provide the fields your device supports.
