Automation Support for Aircon Units

[embcla]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm just trying to create an automation for my aircon units, and when I get to the actions sections, I can't find any AC devices. Thermostat card does work and control the AC units, but automations can't seem to find anything useful. I only found a service called Remote Start, but no remote stop.

Describe the solution you'd like I'm expecting to be able to set device states like: fan speed, operating mode, target temperature, etc

Describe alternatives you've considered I'm open to options: are there other ways I can set this up?

I'm not understanding what you are asking for. Automation in HA can be created for any entities, refer to HA automation guide for additional information. This has nothing to do with integration.

So for my LG ac units I have no devices, just entities. And when I try and create an automation, I can't find neither devices nor services that appear that I can use.

That's why I'm asking here, the integration is creating entities and devices right, or did I get it wrong?

If you are using this integration is not possible that you don't have devices. Anyway generate and attach diagnostic file so that I can investigate this.

Here are the diagnostics

config_entry-smartthinq_sensors-acc75eb6b08d0b06e4025bef6a9690da.json.txt

You made me doubt my findings, so I searched again, and found two devices that expose only the following action "Change HVAC mode"

what about setting temperature?

[ollo69]

In diagnostic I see that you have 2 devices (Cameretta and Sala) associated to 2 climate entities (climate.cameretta_2 and climate.sala_2) Climate entities expose all required services to control your devices in Automation (e.g. climate.set_temperature, climate.set_hvac_mode, etc.). Looks like it's not clear to you how create automation in HA, I suggest to move to HA forum to ask support or read HA documentation more deeply.
