Description
Allow the per-room climate mode (
auto,heat_only,cool_only) to be driven by anexternal HA entity — e.g. an
input_select— so that automations can change the modedynamically without going through the RoomMind UI.
Use case
A user wants their HA instance to check the weather forecast each morning and automatically
set the appropriate climate mode for each room for that day. For example:
cool_onlyheat_onlyautoCurrently the climate mode can only be changed manually in the room detail view. Supporting
an optional
climate_mode_entity(e.g.input_select.living_room_mode) per room wouldmake this fully automatable.
Suggested implementation
climate_mode_entity(accepts
input_select.*orinput_text.*entities)climate_modevalue (auto/heat_only/cool_only)external entity is active
Alternatives considered
Users currently work around this with manual mode changes or by configuring fixed modes,
both of which require intervention when seasons change.
Originally suggested in #21.
