Allow support for water heater via control section (modes)
I see that the 'control' section allows for HVAC, Presets, Fan, and Swing would it be possible to include modes for water heaters? Unsure if it would be name 'operations_list' ?
Example (Rheem EcoNet water heater)
and here is a HVAC system (Rheem EcoNet furnace)
Per the screenshots and the usage of 'controls' in simple-thermostat, is hvac the same as hvac_modes AND fan the same as fan_modes (from the attributes of an entity)?
so 'operation_list' would become 'operation' ? Or does the '_list' mess this up?
update: was able to workaround this using buttons, but would be great to have this card recognize and offer presets/controls for buttons (automagically) as the HVAC shows them

Hey @fireheadman your card looks great. Unfortunately, I've run into issues integrating it. Is this a button card? I've tried custom, entity, entities and button cards, but i'm doing something wrong when trying to work your config in. Of course I've changed the entity ID as well. Can you please post the entire YAML?

Outstanding. Almost there. You have a few sensors I don't have; namely, tank health, compressor health and total hot water availability. Are those perhaps because of a different model or did you do something custom with a template sensor?
this sounds like maybe your integration needs some tuning or you are not using the same ProTerra model?
Here is my integration
I enabled debug and my unit doesn't have some of the features yours done. Bummer, but I bet "hot water availability" is nothing more than a calculation. For now, I've just removed the parts that aren't supported for me.
I appreciate your help.
you could create the missing sensors..... there is also a econet discord that may be able to assist, they are pretty active over there making the econet integration nicer
