Well. I did that, I now seem to have the exact opposite problem - now it shows all active States perfectly, but never displays 'off' (even though it seems to correctly turn off the AC).
I also surely seem to have lost the ability to turn the input_Boolean to off manually somehow by doing this, despite being able to turn off the AC via the climate entity?
I think you may have to leave the quotes around off
. Forgot about this.
May need to be 'off'

That doesn't seem to have changed anything unfortunately 😅 same as my previous comment, controls work but 'Off' state is never shown, even when the climate entity turns off as expected.
Although I do seem to have regained control over the input_boolean now.
Yup, just tried again to make sure. Both 'off'
and "off"
don't change the problem, the modes successfully change but I can't seem to get the status to change to "Off" when the AC is turned off
weird. I just made a test one and it all works as expected

I just figured it out, my problem was these two lines at the end:
- service: input_boolean.turn_on
entity_id: input_boolean.my_ac
It was turning my AC on at the end of every command. D'oh. 🤦🏽♂️
The problem
For some reason, the state of the entity is perpetually "Off", even when I successfully turn on the entity and/or change modes via the entity card. It still shows the target temperature as expected, and the currently-running mode too - it simply doesn't change state from "Off" to anything else.
This isn't a dealbreaker by any means, since I still get 90% of the functionality, it just looks v confusing on my dashboard. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, would love some guidance!
What version of Template Climate has the issue?

Additional information
Love this integration! Does a fantastic job helping me consolidate my smart plug & IR controls. I'm able to perfectly control the HVAC modes & power states of my AC via this climate entity template, barring the state issue i mentioned.
