This is a little bit more involved of a request, but I thought I’d try it. I’d love it if there were a way to take one of our heating/AC units that only has a “target” temperature and turn it into one that has a min temp and a max temp. The target functionality of the AC is pretty unreliable and very hard to control; it’s a lot more aggressive than the heat-only or cool-only modes.
This would require associating a temperature sensor entity of some sort so the integration could switch the underlying climate entity to heat or cool mode when the actual temperature is in the appropriate range. It would probably require a minimum distance between min and max to avoid temperature cycling. It also probably would be good to have some some hysteresis (e.g., if min is 65 and max is 75, don’t switch to “heat” until the temperature drops to 68 or 69) so the modes don’t cycle.
I don’t know if this would be better as a feature of the climate integration or its own, passthrough integration. Thanks for considering!
