Climate Template

Feature Requests
1

Please make it possible to do templating wit climate.

2

You’re going to have to provide a few more details than that. What are you trying to do that you think is not possible?

3

A template climate entity is a generic thermostat.

4

How did this make it to feature requests?

No clue, the means to do this is not only clearly laid out in the docs but it works a treat. I use template climate entities for all kinds of things.

Additionally the climate services all support templates, e.g.

automation:
  trigger:
    platform: time
    at: "07:15:00"
  action:
    - service: climate.set_temperature
      target:
        entity_id: climate.kitchen
      data:
        temperature: "{{ states('input_number.morning_temperature_setpoint')|int(21) }}"
        hvac_mode: heat

Closing this as the FR is vague, requested details were not provided and template functionality has been demonstrated to exist for the two possible use cases I can think of (devices and services).
