Dual Mode Thermostat for AC Units that does both heating AND cooling

Hello,

I have an air conditionner heat pump “Daikin” which is composed of two AC units in my house.
Both AC units is “reversible” that means it can heat or cool.

The problem with Generic Thermostat is that I need to use two of them in order to manage one single physical unit…

Would it be possible to implement one or both of the following:

  • The most logical: Generic Thermostat Integration support for heating AND cooling mode in one single thermostat (with away temp for each heat and cool mode.
  • Maybe easier and faster: Having the following Climate Control Service: climate.set_away_temp in order to be able to dynamically set the away temp of a thermostat. So if using a custom component (for example zacs Dual Mode Generic Thermostat: https://github.com/zacs/ha-dualmodegeneric), I can set the away_temp dynamically and avoid changing it manually and need to reboot the server.

Thanks

You appear to be asking for two different things:

  1. Allow the Generic Thermostat integration to support heating and cooling modes.
  2. Allow the custom integration created by “Zacs” to set away_temp.

The second request concerns a custom integration so it should be posted in Zac’s GitHub repository.
