Expose all available attributes of thermostat to HA bundled as device
Opened this issue · 2 comments
I would like to find all available attributes of a thermostat in HA.
Ideally, writeable attributes will be switches and readable attributes will be sensors.
By using the property "entity_category" as "config" or "diagnostic" this fits well into the Home Assistant concept of devices.
Here are some examples of attributes that should cleverly arrive as Switch Entity in HA (entity category config):
externalwindowopen
displayflipped
locked
schedule_on
mountingmode
orientation
RadiatorCovered
As Select Entity:
mode
preset
fanmode
swingmode
As Number Entity:
externalsensortemp
offset
And here the diagnostic-entities which are all sensors:
on
windowopen
valve
SerpointChangeSource
battery (as already correct)
I have a sneaking suspicion that this means greater development effort. But I hope that there will be gradual improvements in how many of the possibilities can also be used through the Home Assistant UI.

I still have a lot of refactoring to do before this is possible to add in the integration, but Im slowly getting there!
