Two climate entities for the same room

Configuration
1

Hi,

For the same room, I have two separate climate entities:

  • One entity controls floor heating (a thermo electric valve). So it can only heat.
  • One entity controls an airconditioner (KNX integration). It has several modes, such as cooling, heating, ventilation,…

I could build automations that:

  • Keeps the setpoint temperature of both entities in sync;
  • Creates a mapping between the modes (e.g. “cooling” in entity B would imply “off” for the floor heating);

But is there a “best practice” way to merge these two climate entities in to one?

Due to the floor heating having a much greater thermal inertia this is going to have to be rule based, so yes automation(s) would be the best approach.
