heater: Referenced entities are missing or not currently available

[chungalunga]

Describe the bug
Whatever I input in the "heater" section is reported as "missing or not currently available", as a result the thermostat is always in "idle" mode. Temperature sensor is picked up fine and works as expected.

To Reproduce
Enter any entity in the "heater" section.

Expected behavior
It should work?:)

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Win10
• Browser chrome
• Version 126
• HA Core 2024.7.0
• HAOS 12.4

Additional context
I tried with input_boolean as well as a switch with the same result. I can access these entites without problems via automations / script.

Hello, could you please provide Smart Thermostat integration version and configuration file ?

[chungalunga]

Hello, thanks for such a quick help!

Smart Thermostat integration version: 2024.6.1

Configuration file:

# Loads default set of integrations. Do not remove.
default_config:

# Load frontend themes from the themes folder
frontend:
  themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes

automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml

climate:
  - platform: smart_thermostat
    name: Termostat living room
    unique_id: termostat_living_room
    heater: input_boolean.on_off_heater
    target_sensor: sensor.temp_senzor_temperature
    min_temp: 7
    max_temp: 28
    initial_hvac_mode: "heat"
    ac_mode: False
    target_temp: 19
    keep_alive:
      seconds: 60
    away_temp: 14
    kp: 5
    ki: 0.01
    kd: 500
    pwm: 0

I ommited http section from the config, I suppose it should be irrelevant.

If your heater is an input boolean, you must specify a pwm value, pwm: 0 must be used with "analog" devices like valves or other devices requiring a float or integer value as input.
