@JohnB I had been about to install one and @pdobrien3’s comments are scaring me.
Even if the Lovelace card doesn’t show controls, would you be willing to screenshot the related entities (and their attributes) and any new services? It may be that the thermostat exposes that functionality, but in a way that the Lovelace card can’t represent; since I’m one of the core HASS developers, I can try to help piece things together.
@pdobrien3 - Sorry to hear you couldn’t get it to work. Thanks for replying and I hope the Nest drama works out for you.
@bachya - Absolutely! Here are some screenshots of the Lovelace cards, and the climate.thermostat entries. Please let me know if you need additional info. Thanks.
Thanks @pdobrien3
Can you help me find the information bachya was asking for? “What new services do you see under the climate domain, if any?” Where should look for this info?
From what I remember, it also made some weird entities. Like and _unused_1 or something of the likes. I could never get my T2000s to do anything. I don’t think they even really properly reported their state.
The state/status is working fine. If I make the changes directly on the T2000 thermostat, the status shows up on the Lovelace card. I just can’t turn on the thermostat or set any controls from the Lovelace cards within HA.
@JohnB The next step is an arduous one, but I think we should pursue it: trigger various climate services against climate.thermostat and see if any material difference occurs.
(@pdobrien3, if you’ve already tried this, let us know?)
To start, let’s try:
Service:climate.set_temperature Entity:climate.thermostat Service Data:{"entity_id": "climate.thermostat", "temperature": 70}
If that sets the target temperature to 70, we’re in better shape; if not, we’re in trouble.
