Available settings for automation

Configuration
1

I’m using version HA 2023.8.4 with SmartThings connected via the HA Cloud. I’m trying to create an automation that will set the temperature on a Honeywell T6 PRO Thermostat connected to SmartThings. On the HA Dashboard and Overview I’m allowed to change the temperature, the fan settings, and thermostat mode (ON/OFF, Cooling, Heating).

But in Automation the only option available is (ON/OFF, Cooling, Heating).

I tried to edit the YAML to add thermostatCoolingSetpoint

device_id: 404af
domain: climate
entity_id: 829c5
type: set_hvac_mode
thermostatCoolingSetpoint: "76"

But I get this error “Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘thermostatCoolingSetpoint’]”

How can I add features available for the device to automation like setting the temperature and fan mode?

Don’t use device actions, use call service and select the appropriate climate service that suits your needs.

Hello,
I’m late to the party I know. I just moved in and got my z wave t6 Honeywell thermostat connected to home assistant. Been trying for the past couple days to create an automation so that my AC turns on to cool mode and if it’s after 8pm and above 69 degrees F.

I’ve tried device actions and entity states. I just read your suggestion to use call service so I’ll see tomorrow night if it works. But my main question is, for the future, how will I know what to pick/use for automations? It seems so intuitive to select device actions but they don’t seem to work sometimes.

This is what I have:
