Turn off AirTouch air conditioning when electricity price is high

How this automation works

Automatically save energy by turning off your air conditioning when electricity prices rise. This runs when the household electricity price in your selected Australian state goes above your set threshold and sends a command to power off your AirTouch system. Perfect for reducing energy costs and managing demand during peak pricing periods.
