Thermostat card and shelly devices

Configuration Frontend
1

I’ve got a number of shelly 1 pro (that switch on/off a boiler) and shelly ht devices integrated with home assistant, and I’ve written some basic automations. It works great.

I’m looking to implement a Thermostat Card, but it appears to require a climate configuration, and it’s not clear to me how this works. All I want to do is use visualise a thermostat, which renders the current temperature (as per a shelly ht), and allows a target temperature to be set through toggling the shelly 1 device.

Is this use-case supported? Everything has been so easy with the cards but this feature escapes me!

here is mine

- platform: generic_thermostat
  name: "Gas Heater"
  heater: switch.gas_heater
  target_sensor: sensor.bt_lounge_temperature
  min_temp: 15
  max_temp: 30
  ac_mode: False
  target_temp: 20.8
  initial_hvac_mode: "off"
  cold_tolerance: 0.2
  hot_tolerance: 0.2
  away_temp: 16

I will. I was also looking at:

but I’d still like to understand how a climate is created.

I use this one

type: custom:thermostat-card
entity: climate.gas_heater

And where do you set up the climate, and link to a shelly?

In your config file add this

climate: !include climate.yaml

then in the climate.yaml file put this

- platform: generic_thermostat
  name: "just the name of it"
  heater: switch. this would be your shelly switch
  target_sensor: sensor. this would be a thermostat in your house
  min_temp: 15
  max_temp: 30
  ac_mode: False
  target_temp: 20.8
  initial_hvac_mode: "off"
  cold_tolerance: 0.2
  hot_tolerance: 0.2
  away_temp: 16

then do a yaml check configuration check if passes do a restart

This is perfect. It ties the shelly 1 with the shelly h&t, and allows me to use the thermostats. I hope this is of use to someone else.

(Perhaps Shelly can build this out of the box!)

Thank you all!
Had the same problem und the solution is unbelievable easy.

But I have one little problem with that. My other climate cards has the option for heating, off and automatic mode. With this card, i only get the options heating and off. How can I use the automatic function, to give a degree and it automatically activates or deactivates the shelly?
