Please add "hvac_action" to climate card

Open DanielNagy opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

Describe the solution you'd like If you are able to get current status of the unit, as "heating/cooling/idle" etc, you should be able to map it to the climate entity "hvac_action" - https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/climate/

Benefits include:

  • be able to create automations if the unit is actively heating (rather than mode = heat, when the unit may be idle) ie - states of the another climate entity integration as an example. image

  • The climate card will show additional gui differences based on mode. eg, Left is Aquatemp climate card, Right is another integration showing the "Heating" status and additional "red shade". image image image

The heating history graph will also only shade RED when it is Heating(or Blue when Cooling), rather than all the time when in mode heat. ie: Current Aquatemp. It shows red the whole time, even with the unit in a idle state (where the temp is dropping) image Another climate entity integration as an example with hvac_action mapped, only shading Red when the unit is actively heating upto the set point. image
