Thermostat helper (above 35 degees)

Configuration
1

Hey guys,
I’m trying to make a thermostat helper for hot water management, but I can’t seem to figure out a way to go over 35 degrees with a helper thermostat. Is there any?
Obviously 35dg is too low for water…

I bet you have used some code of configuration that is unknown to us.
So how do you expect us to help when we don’t see what you have done?

Hellis, no need to be passive aggressive…
Not sure what code are you talking about… My question is about helpers, as far as I know, there is no coding involved with helpers, is there?
You just create a helper, and choose entities.
My problem is that the generic thermostat helper can go up to 35℃, which is obviously not enough for hot water. So I’m looking for a way to create thermostat that can go up to at least 80℃

All right, I’ve figured that out. Hope it helps someone in the future…
It is not possible via “create helper”, but you can do it via "configuration.yaml

Here is my example:

climate:
  - platform: generic_thermostat
    name: Hot_Water_Thermostat
    heater: switch.your_heater_switch
    target_sensor: sensor.your_temperature_sensor
    min_temp: 25
    max_temp: 80
    ac_mode: false
    target_temp: 45
    cold_tolerance: 0.3
    hot_tolerance: 0
    initial_hvac_mode: "off"
    away_temp: 25
    comfort_temp: 55
    eco_temp: 45
    activity_temp: 75
    precision: 1
