I use Simple Thermostat lovelace card to control my Nest thermostat. I've noticed that depending on what integration I use [I don't like all changes made into the built-in (let's call it BI) HomeAssistant Nest integration, so I am planning to switch to this one - Homebridge-Nest (let's call it HB)] some options differ and some of the functionality is cut down.
in (BI) there is an attribute: preset_modes, which displays all modes understood and available in Nest Thermostat - none, away, eco, Away and Eco (at least my Nest shows that), and also attribute preset_mode, displaying the currently used mode. those both attributes are used by mentioned card [configurable with names, icons etc.] to display some buttons [for mode notification but also working as mode changing button], as shown below [last row of buttons]:
in (HB) there are no attributes that reflect preset mode(s), so it is impossible to see the actual mode or to change one by hand:
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd love to see those two attributes working in Homebridge-nest integration - they partially look like a combination of other attributes already working in integration, so maybe it won't be a big deal to add them. but also I am not a programmer, so my maybe can be waaay too optimistic ;)
Describe alternatives you've considered
in a desperate idea I was thinking about playing with template thermostat in HomeAssistant, but I'm not so sure if it will add those parameters and also I didn't want to make "a thermostat inside a thermostat" ;)
