Ever since Hive started using the water-heater component when the climate component was cleaned up (0.96) it has been using the operation mode ‘Eco’ to show when the Hive hot water system is set to ‘Scheduled’.
a) This doesn’t really match the description of ‘Eco’ in the developers documentation
https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/water-heater/#properties
“Energy efficient mode, provides energy savings and fast heating.”
b) It is inconsistent with the hvac component which does have an ‘auto’ setting
c) None if the other states currently available match what is actually happening
Would be great if this could be amended. I’ve also noticed the current mode doesn’t seem to show up on the Lovelace dashboard? (although does show correctly if you click on it for more detail)
