Describe the issue

Hello. Thanks for making this. I'm keen to give it a whirl. I've tested it on HA 2023.12 and 2024.01 and it doesn't work on either.
I set up the HVAC Group helper and it then shows a red exclamation icon next to it. Checking log shows errors. No climate entity is created to control the group.

Reproduction steps

1. Install integration via HACS
2. Set up helper
   ...

Debug logs

DEVICE_CLASS_TEMPERATURE was used from hvac_group, this is a deprecated constant which will be removed in HA Core 2025.1. Use SensorDeviceClass.TEMPERATURE instead, please create a bug report at https://github.com/tetele/hvac_group/issueshttps://github.com/tetele/hvac_group/issues

Thanks for the report! The main purpose of this was to group together a heater and an AC, so I never thought to allow the usage of only coolers, such as in your case.

Anyway, it's not a complicated fix, expect a new release in the next week or so. Until then, if you want to test things out, you can create a group containing a heater, too. Mind you, an AC unit which can do heating can be both a heater and a cooler, in case you don't have any other climate entities.

Ah I see, that makes sense. Yes my use case is similar to what climate_group offers. But I see now this project is quite different. Very cool what it can do though.

Until then, if you want to test things out, you can create a group containing a heater, too.

I tried that and it's working now, thanks.
