I’m looking into using Home Assistant as a thermostat for a space heater. I’m wondering if it’s possible to link HA to Google Home in a way where GH thinks there’s a thermostat, and it would provide control similar to what you would see with an actual smart thermostat.
I’m very surprised the template climate entities can’t be exposed to GH.
I have a few climate entities that controls the TRV climate entities, and the TRV climate entities are exposed but not the template climate entities.
I don’t have a need for it but this made me look it up
