HI all. Have a question regarding switch template. I have a switch when i switch it on it changes to hvac_mode to heat. However I would like to have an or function so that the switch is recognized as “on” when the hvac_mode can also be cold etc…
After some testing the below is working however I was wondering if there was a better way. I like “{{ is_state(‘climate.lounge’, ‘heat’, 'cool) }}”??
This currently works:
lounge_heating:
value_template: "{{ is_state('climate.lounge', 'heat',) or is_state('climate.lounge', 'cool',) }}"
turn_on:
- service: climate.set_hvac_mode
data:
entity_id: climate.lounge
hvac_mode: heat
turn_off:
- service: climate.turn_off
entity_id: climate.lounge
