- EPH Controls Ember Thermostat + Climate
- The `ephember` climate platform lets you control [EPH Controls](http://emberapp.ephcontrols.com/) thermostats. The module only works if you have a WiFi gateway to control your EPH system and an account on the ember app. -To set it up, add the following information to your `configuration.yaml` file: -```yaml -climate: - - platform: ephember - username: YOUR_EMAIL - password: YOUR_PASSWORD -``` -A single interface can handle up to 32 connected devices. -Configuration variables: -- **username** (*Required*): The email address you used to sign up to the ember app -- **password** (*Required*): The password you used to sign up to the ember app +
The climate component is built for the controlling and monitoring of HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) and thermostat devices.
To enable this component, pick one of the platforms, and add it to your configuration.yaml:

Service climate.set_aux_heat
+Turn auxiliary heater on/off for climate device
+| Service data attribute | +Optional | +Description | +
|---|---|---|
entity_id |
+ yes | +String or list of strings that point at entity_id’s of climate devices to control. Else targets all. |
+
aux_heat |
+ no | +New value of auxiliary heater. | +
Automation example
+automation:
+ trigger:
+ platform: time
+ at: "07:15:00"
+ action:
+ - service: climate.set_aux_heat
+ data:
+ entity_id: climate.kitchen
+ aux_heat: true
+ Service climate.set_away_mode
+Set away mode for climate device. The away mode changes the target temperature permanently to a temperature +reflecting a situation where the climate device is set to save energy. This may be used to emulate a +“vacation mode”, for example.
+| Service data attribute | +Optional | +Description | +

+ action:
+ - service: climate.set_away_mode
+ data:
+ entity_id: climate.kitchen
+ away_mode: 'on'
+ Service climate.set_hold_mode
+Set hold mode for climate device. The hold mode changes the target temperature of the client device temporarily to +a different temperature. Typical hold modes provided by a climate device are “away” or “home”, where the hold temperature +is chosen depending on a predefined climate, or “temperature” hold, where a particular temperature is selected as the +temporary target temperature. The particular modes available depend on the climate device.
