Sure it is, use card-mod to configure it to your needs and wishes. 
PS: If you have questions about that, you should ask in the card-mod thread.

If anyone is interested, I was able to color the icon and the temperature when in heating mode.
While NOT heating :
While heating :
Here is the yaml :
type: custom:simple-thermostat
entity: climate.entryway
layout:
mode:
icons: true
step: column
header: null
control: false
step_size: '0.5'
style: |
ha-card.heating .current--value,
ha-card.heating ha-icon.header__icon {
color: red;
}

Hi,
is there a way to dynamically set icons sensor based on states, instead have a fix icon? I can’t got it inside the card using icon template in yaml
I am sure it must be in this thread or the config github. I just for the life of me can’t find it!
This is my current card:
I was wondering how I can cut out some of the fan modes that are being displayed as it is just too many. Ie. Skip auto, medium, very-high, etc.
Try
control:
fan:
some_mode: false
another_mode: false
Customize is your friend here.
homeassistant:
customize:
climate.livingroom_ac:
hvac_modes:
- 'off'
- 'cool'
- 'dry'
- 'fan_only'
swing_modes:
- 'off'
- 'vertical'
Thanks @binaryMind & @paddy0174 for the replies. I ended up going with this which works perfect for me:
control:
hvac:
heat_cool: false
dry: false
fan:
auto: false
medium-low: false
medium-high: false
very-high: false
Just to add a little context, sorry, should have done that before.
“Customize” changes the behaviour all over, where as “control” is only changing that one card. So if you, like me, never use the heating function, you can disable it at all. Makes sense in my case, as I don’t want to change the behaviour in every view, where I setup a thermostat-card.
Is it possible to display a attribute state for Status: ? Now it shows the state of my entity: climate.vicare_heating but i want to use attribute “active_vicare_program” instead. So i want to change the part after Status: where it now shows “Inactief (Auto)”.
Please have a look at: https://github.com/nervetattoo/simple-thermostat/blob/9c274465b5c513e9e6a82d9670f52807ba173233/examples/sensors.md

Sorry, anyone got an idea on this?
Hi everyone,
is there any way to remove the current temperature? I am using the simple-thermostat for a thermostatic valve that does not report current temperature (I take it from another sensor) and this is what it shows (not very nice):
Did you see my link in the post above? You should be able to use you sensorvalue as the value for Currently I think.

Hi CalcU,
Did you find an answer to this?
This is exactly what I have been looking for to override the Currently temperature. However, I am having trouble making it work. I want to replace the default Currently with this sensor:
sensor.smoke_detector_air_temperature
I was thinking it was as easy as this code:
sensors:
- id: temperature
label: '{{ui.currently}}'
template: '{{sensor.smoke_detector_air_temperature|formatNumber}}'
Am I missing something?
Edit: I failed to include version: 3. However, when I do, my entire Lovelace goes blank. So…a new problem.
Version: 3 should not be needed anymore, this functionality is present in the release-version.
Regarding your problem, see in examples/sensors.md, under: “Use a different entity as context”.
Something like:
sensors:
- id: temperature
label: '{{ui.currently}}'
entity: sensor.smoke_detector_air_temperature
Thanks for the help. I was able to do that, but where I am confused is how to replace the N/A value after Currently with this value from the Smoke Detector.
See my updated above answer.
Also, maybe there still needs to be a template-line. Just try out some stuff.
Hmmmm…I just cannot get it to budge. At all. Nothing about that field.
Here is my code. Even when I change the label, it does not reflect a change at all. What am I missing in the process?
type: custom:simple-thermostat
entity: climate.ac_in_top_floor_living_room
sensors:
- id: temperature
label: '{{ui.currently}}'
template: '{{states.sensor.smoke_detector_air_temperature|formatNumber}}'
control:
hvac:
heat: true
'off': true
cool: true
heat_cool: false
dry: false
fan_only: false
preset:
boost: false
eco: false
none: false
fan:
Auto:
name: Auto
icon: hass:fan
Low:
name: Low
icon: hass:fan
LowMid: false
Mid:
name: Mid
icon: hass:fan
HighMid: false
High:
name: High
icon: hass:fan
layout:
mode:
headings: false
names: true
icons: true
step: column
step_size: '1'
decimals: '0'
Looks like this is working for me
- type: custom:simple-thermostat
entity: climate.xyz
version: 3
... some text in-between...
sensors:
- entity: sensor.smoke_detector_air_temperature
id: temperature
label: "{{ui.currently}}"
template: "{{state.text}} {{unit_of_measurement}}"
- id: state
label: State
template: "{{hvac_action}}"
This replaces the Currently and the State parts on the screen. The State part is needed otherwise the name changes to Operation.
