The `generic_thermostat` climate platform is a thermostat implemented in Home Assistant. It uses a sensor and a switch connected to a heater under the hood. If the measured temperature is cooler then the target temperature, the heater will be turned on and turned off when required temperature is reached.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
||||
climate:
|
||||
platform: heat_control
|
||||
name: Study
|
||||
heater: switch.study_heater
|
||||
target_sensor: sensor.study_temperature
|
||||
min_temp: 15
|
||||
max_temp: 21
|
||||
target_temp: 15
|
||||
min_cycle_duration:
|
||||
# At least one of these must be specified:
|
||||
days: 2
|
||||
hours: 1
|
||||
minutes: 10
|
||||
seconds: 5
|
||||
milliseconds: 20
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration variables:
|
||||
|
||||
- **name** (*Required*): Name of thermostat
|
||||
- **heater** (*Required*: `entity_id` for heater switch, must be a toggle device.
|
||||
- **target_sensor** (*Required*): `entity_id` for a temperature sensor, target_sensor.state must be temperature.
|
||||
- **min_temp** (*Optional*): Set minimum set point available (default: 7)
|
||||
- **max_temp** (*Optional*): Set maximum set point available (default: 35)
|
||||
- **target_temp** (*Required*): Set intital target temperature. Failure to set this variable will result in target temperature being set to null on startup.
|
||||
- **ac_mode** (*Optional*): Set the switch specified in the *heater* option to be treated as a cooling device instead of a heating device.
|
||||
- **min_cycle_duration** (*Optional*): Set a minimum amount of time that the switch specified in the *heater* option must be in it's current state prior to being switched either off or on.
