Climate device to set target temp for climate

Open msp1974 opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Can a climate device be used to manage the engine start/precondition temp setting and call service to start process as suggested by @zachamato

I have a working switch to turn on/off remote start and will monitor remote start status. Might be easily ported to a climate device but so far I’m liking the easy “Alexa, start my car” command. I also added to HomeKit with no issues.

The switch uses the last set RCC target value for now, but I’m sure that could be easily added.

I can create a pull request for you to review, I’m a bit of a novice but I based my device off lock.py and other integrations from Home Assistant.

Sure, send a PR and let me have a look at it

Think I did that right, but I submitted the PR. This is only for Remote Start (not EV) but maybe someone else can add those features. The switch should only work if the 'REON' service is enabled for the vehicle.

Also might be useful to update the switch status to on/off once the service call is successful rather than wait for the vehicle to periodically update.

Looking for the same feature. Is @zachamato fork implementing a climate service? Would be great because then the Thermostat Card works right out of the box.
