6 years ago I tried making some more comfort settings, "HOT OUTSIDE" and "COLD OUTSIDE". It seemed like yous hould be able to use climate.set_hold_mode to use a different comfort zone, but that is logging an error:

I was thinking it'd be useful to have a sensor.template for deciding which 'comfort setting' to use, and then setting the temperature appropriately.
I think this is A Thing in the South, but when it's 🔥 HOT 🔥 out, 70 is the ideal cooling. When it's Okay out, 72 is better cooling, with 68 as the heating threshold. When it's ❄️ COLD ❄️ out, we want it heated to 70, with cooling of probably 72 (or it doesn't matter since it wont' come on).
I'm tired of tweaking the thermostat, so let's be smart. I have an ecobee with multiple sensors, and home-assistant.
Ecobee has a concept of Comfort Zones. Right now, I set one that's 68/72, but end up putting it on hold for the measures. Maybe I can create multiple ones, and change the schedule to always use that? That assumes some hass stuff exists to do that 🤔
