I wish to modify a line in the core in the following path:
homeassistant/components/climate/init.py
The line I wish to modify line 109 “DEFAULT_MIN_HUMIDITY = 30”
I have already gone into studio code server, created a folder named “climate” under “custom_components” and added in my version of the “init.py” file. I was under the impression this would override the existing file in the core integration, this was not the case.
How do I change this value in Home Assistant?
Rant for anyone interested why I am doing this:
In Canada, it is not uncommon for us to really have to lower the humidity in our houses during cold snaps to prevent condensation from forming on the windows. I am assuming that whomever wrote this particular limitation lives in a warm climate. But why just why is there no upper limit but they decided to put in a lower limit??? There is no one ever that wants their house at 99% humidity, just like there is no one out there that wants their house at 1% humidity! But why pick some arbitrary limitation of 30% humidity? If you’re worried about my house drying out too much, let me worry about that!
The same logic applies to the temperature limitations too! Why limit my coldest temp to 7 degrees? What if I want to have my garage at a steady 5 degrees in the winter and I want to use the climate entity to do that? The home assistant philosophy is I am supposed to be able to highly customize things like this with a GUI. Obviously, I am rather frustrated about this. Thanks for listening
