Yes, you can (set the target_sensor in the generic thermostat definition to your actual pool temperature sensor), although, without the additional controls the thermostat offers, it would be an inefficient use of real-estate.
You could use Lovelace sensor card instead and have also the state history in the same place.
Thanks for the heads up. I was running an old version of HA and once I upgraded it worked. Not going to start looking into why itâs fixed but cheers for the support anywho!
Did you setup hvac in your config? Blue means cool, orange/red means heat. If you remove the hvac in your config it will turn black or grey depending on state.
Ok then try adding the hvac, but with states that donât exist. They should override the default and as it doesnât exist there shouldnât be any color.
Can anybody tell me how to use this thermostat
I mean how to turn on and off? Tried clicking, double clicking, long clicking)))
All I can do itâs just change the target temperature.
Thanks!
I am not entirely sure if I used a conditional card or an input boolean. Both can achieve the same thing (will check this later).
For the config I use the custom button card, but you could use a core entity card as well. Just set them up to call a service on tap. I believe it is something like climate.set_operation_mode (or something like that, you can find it in your service menu under the dev tools). Then just use set operation mode to âheatâ or âoffâ
I use a state-switch (or conditional card) to show another button (this is needed as service-calls are not switches so it doesnât know that it should switch âonâ or âoffâ on the button). Though there are many different ways to achieve this, with templates, with automations and/or input_booleans.
For the way I did it you can check my config here:
This card hasnât been updated in over a year. You can however add it to HACS yourself.
The official repo might not work as the working directory isnât the repoâs root.
If you can not import this to HACS you can use my repo instead (it is the exact same card but it can be imported in HACS)
