Sliders for pool temperature

[rsnodgrass]

Would like to figure out how to add bounded temperature setting sliders (or other) to the heaters. Presumably since these are water_heaters there is a common way to do this. I'd leave the minimum setting to 32, since freeze protection would effectively switch on the heaters anyway at 32.

For my pool, I have the sliders set to a max of 85 degrees F, while the spa at 104 degrees F.

I haven't investigated yet, other than create Lovelace mockup of the sliders:

Anyway, adding this as a placeholder.

Just for reference, my Lovelace:

The simple water header card that could be used, but wanted an even simpler slider.

Perhaps the best is to just have input numbers and then automation to set the heater temperature.

input_number:                                                                                                                                                                                    
  pool_temp_slider:
