Specify an entity from within the climate domain

Start with I am VERY VERY NEW!!

Working on making a thermostat. nothing crazy and should be easy. I have the hardware good to go and can operate it in Tasmota, I can get a gage in love lace to show the current temp. but when I take the same sensor it give me the error.
“Specify an entity from within the climate domain”

when I go to set up the entity, I do not have any in the drop down box. when I paste in the same info I used for the gage that is when I recive the error. I have not added

below is my card and config and love lace. as I said very new, I think I am just missing something simple.
