`Enhancement` Seperate thermostat from relays #2292

Closed scodyw closed 3 weeks ago

scodyw commented 3 weeks ago

Enhancement Summary

Seperate thermostat from relays

Detailed Description

It would be beneficial if the call for heat and cool had an "Entity to control" selection in the blueprint, instead of being coded to the relays.

I intend to use the relays to control room lighting and the thermostat to control remote relays. A lot of the benefit of having a wireless thermostat is lost, if I still need to run wires to the heater.

Additional Context

No response

You can go that today. Just don't include any of the climate add-ons on your yaml and then set the climate entity on the Blueprint pointing to any climate entity from Home Assistant.

scodyw commented 3 weeks ago

I am not asking to select a different climate entity, but to be able to use the climate add-ons to control a different relay, instead of requiring " heater_relay: "1" " (or 2). Then the user does to not have to make a climate control entity for the relay they want to control, especially if they do not know how.

You mean using the climate add-on to control a relay on Home Assistant (outside the panel)? The Generic Thermostat already covers this need, no?

I see. I did not know that would work. I tried it and you are correct. Thank you for the help, I have it configured correctly now.
