@Old_iron ,
Unfortunately, I don’t think it is currently possible to achieve with virtual thermostat alone.

Please see the following discussion for more details.

[ST Edge] Capability that receives values from external device/source

Hi, To implement virtual thermostat, it is required to receive temperature/humidity readings from external source (physical device/sensor). My question is how possibly it can be done? The standard temperature capability that is used in sensors can be used as an automation trigger. However, the ‘IF’ condition in automation for this capability can be only ‘Matches’, ‘Equal or above’ or ‘Equal or below’. What I’m missing is something like ‘Changes’ condition, that is fired anytime the value has been changed. In addition, the value of the temperature capability of the physical sensor needs to be copied into the value of the virtual thermostat. How that could be achieved? So, basically there are 2 questions: How it is possible to create an automation, based on arbitrary change of some ca…
