How can I use max cube thermostat card with modes? #256

Open lpt2007 opened 4 years ago

lpt2007 commented 4 years ago

HA attributes:

hvac_modes: auto 
current_temperature: 22.4 
min_temp: 4.5 
max_temp: 30.5 
temperature: 17 
preset_mode: null 
preset_modes: boost,manual,vacation 
friendly_name: HODNIK hallway_thermostat 
supported_features: 17

I try like this but I can see modes:

cards:
  - type: 'custom:thermostat-card'
    title: DNEVNA
    entity: climate.dnevna_livingroom_thermostat
    hvac:
      states:
        auto: auto
        manual: manual
        boost: boost
        vacation: vacation
      attribute: operation_mode
type: vertical-stack

What are you trying to achieve? Is your thermostat not using hvac_modes at all ? The preset modes seem to be more related to away mode, not to operation mode.

I agree. hvac_modes only says 'auto'. The thermostat manual at https://www.eq-3.com/downloads/download/max/bda_portal/BC-TC-C-WM-4_UM_EN.pdf does not provide much info. I see Automatic mode (Auto), manual mode (Manu), holiday function ( ), boost function ( BOOST ), open-window function ( ), operating lock ( ). Perhaps the attribute hvac_modes changes value when the thermostat changes i.e. auto manu boost etc.? Difficult to say... Am I correct in assuming your card only supports three hvac states and they must be mapped to idle, heating and cooling?

hvac:
  states:
    'My off state': 'idle'
    `My heat state`: 'heating`
    `My cool state`: `cooling`

@danielbrunt57 The states mapped here are now the default for climate entity in home assistant. If you are able to use the thermostat in home-assistant would be great if you could go to Home Assistant > Developer Tools and post here what your entity attributes are whenever your thermostat is in one of the states that you want represented.

Yes, the states I use are in https://github.com/ciotlosm/lovelace-thermostat-dark-card/blob/master/src/const.ts. Those are used for setting the right color for the dial.
