FEATURE - Auto Mode #4

Closed behold81 closed 2 years ago

behold81 commented 2 years ago

Is there a way to turn an item to Auto not ON. its almost like we need both options. not sure how that could work.

Sorry for the barrage of features. I'm excited!

So unfortunately HA doesn't currently support 3 way switches from what I can see. So I've added in a new service (In 1.05) called "set_output" you can call this with the given output DID (Found under switch attributes) and select from OFF/ON/AUTO. Can be used with a hacs custom button or in an automation.

That's cool. so at least automation could be used or a helper switch to set auto modes. I wonder if there is a way to mimic a 3 way switch some how. Ill see if I can find an option and let you know if I find something. but for now an awesome workaround. I will test it later today.

One option is to map it to a slider with the 3 options but requires a custom lovelace widget like this https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-slider-entity-row

Thats cool. Ill look in to that. could be very usable. Thanks

Closing issue as added in 1.05 (Service call allows AUTO toggling)
