# Weather Word Descriptions from Dew Point, Temperature, VOC & Tado (Simple Air Comfort Card)

# Putting words to what it feels like

**This flow converts numeric temperature and humidity values into text descriptions. Makes them available in Home Assistant and use in Simple Air Comfort Card or other Custom Cards.**

### It contains 5 methods.

- **TADO COMFORT TEXT DESCRIPTION (TADO API)**
  - **Humidty** DRY, COMFY, HUMID
  - **Temperature** COLD, COMFY, WARM
  - Gets the words from Tado API, Funtion Node filters based on payload address.
  - Requires [node-red-tado-client](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-tado-client) to extract the text description from the Tado API
  - Requires [Node-RED Companion Integration](https://github.com/zachowj/hass-node-red)

- **HUMIDITY COMFORT TEXT DESCRIPTION (NON TADO DEVICES)**
  - **Humidty** , **DRY** (\<39.9%),(40%) **COMFY** (59.9%)\*\*, **HUMID** (\>60%) (Same as Tado)
  - Switches Temperatures to words based on the above values. msg.topic changes the words
  - Requires any Temperature Sensors.
  - Requires [Node-RED Companion Integration](https://github.com/zachowj/hass-node-red)

### TADO COMFORT TEXT DESCRIPTION (TADO API)

THIS IS USED TO CONNECT TO THE TADO API AND GET THE TEXT DESCRIPTION FOR THE TEMP AND HUMIDITY.

TADO Temp(COLD,COMFY,WARM) - Humidity (DRY,COMFY,HUMID)

REQUIREMENTS: [node-red-contrib-tado-client](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-tado-client)

**TADO [getMe] Node Setup**

1. Double Click Tado [getMe] Node, Add a New Tado Config...
2. Enter your TADO Account login details into the config.
3. Click Done.
4. Click the Inject Node timestamp.
5. Find your homes ID in the debug message [window payload.homes[0].id]

**TADO Other Nodes**

1. Enter your Home ID into the other Nodes to fetch information from the API
2. Click the time stamp into the Tado [getAirComfort] Node
3. Find the path \>\_Copy Path Button in the Debug Node [payload.comfort[0].temperatureLevel]

**Function Node**

1. Copy the path above into the Function Node
2. CLICK the Inject Node timestamp to Test
3. Your sensor should display the text and be in home assistant, updated every 1 minute.
