Automations not working with honeywell thermostat

Hardware
,
1

Okay so I have a RTH6580WF Honeywell WiFi Thermostat. It works fine in HA, I can control all the things! =D
But for some reason what I can’t do it automate the damn thing. Ever setting I try in an automation throws the stupid thermostat into auto mode.
Every setting:
climat.set_aux_heat
climate.set_hvac_mode “cool, heat, or auto”
etc.
I can’t change the target temp or anything. All running any automation concerning the thermostat will do is turn it on or off. Am I just an idiot doing everything wrong, or am I missing something?

Please share the automation yaml. It would be helpful

Please share it in correct syntax not with bulletins as we wont be able to know if there are any syntax errors. To do so please put the yaml between ```

from what you have shared I can see that you haven’t mentioned entity_id for service: climate.set_hvac_mode . please add entity_id to that step and see.

It should look like this.

    - service: climate.set_hvac_mode
      data:
        entity_id: climate.kitchen
        hvac_mode: cold

Sorry I fixed it.

I think the action list should be like this:

action:
  - service: climate.turn_on
    entity_id: climate.thermostat
  - service: climate.set_hvac_mode
    data:
      entity_id: climate.thermostat
      hvac_mode: cool
  - service: climate.set_temperature
    data:
      temperature: 68
      entity_id: climate.thermostat
  - service: climate.set_fan_mode
    data:
      fan_mode: auto
      entity_id: climate.thermostat

Any error in home-assistant.log ?
