Thermostat Changed UI

Configuration Frontend
1

The new thermostatic configuration breaks all design principles.
To turn something off, you should not have to
click a button, pull down menu, then click off

Instead off 1 click = off and on.

Who ever did this design change has caused a lot of people to leave heating on when it should be off.

There is not a single argument as to why something should take 3 clicks instead of one.

It used to be on, and turning something on and off is the most important thing for heating. Secondary is temperature control. If anyone can tell me how to get the told format back for the temperature control please let me know.

This is what I have on 2024.3.0

Clicking the right button is off ? No pull down to be seen ?

i think you are referring to the entity UI, while francis two months ago :smiley: showed you a card for thermostat control.
On entity UI honestly i agree with you and yes, i have the same interface and you have to click and select “off” from a dropdown

How do you get the thermostat control card? I tried adding a card and could only add thermostat…

That’s the one. Now edit the card and turn on the features for preset and / or HVAC modes.

My mistake,

You can add to the card
features:
- type: climate-hvac-modes

then it will work so the full card should be:

    cards:
      - type: thermostat
        entity: climate.bedroom
        name: Bed
        features:
          - type: climate-hvac-modes

and it will show the power options.

you can also add the statement below to change it to show the current temp:

show_current_as_primary: true

see my latest post for solution.

    cards:
      - type: thermostat
        entity: climate.bedroom
        name: Bed
        features:
          - type: climate-hvac-modes
