Add automatic (HVAC_MODE_HEAT_COOL) mode #9

Closed zacs closed 3 years ago

According to the new climate entity, AUTO mode is reserved for a unit operating on its own intelligence (eg. something AI based), so supporting a temp range (and corresponding heater or cooler turning off) means supporting HVAC_MODE_HEAT_COOL mode.

I suspect this fork might be trying the same thing 🙂 https://github.com/FPSlacker/ha-dualmodegeneric

Hah! I had not yet seen that. @FPSlacker do feel free to submit a PR for merge into this repo.

Seems like it is a exact copy? And neither of them work as I expected, by switching between Heating, Idle and Cooling. Was hoping to use this to control two different outputs :/
