service call to control "climate/set_temperature"

[marekchowaniok]

Hi @jmcollin78 ,

I came across this repo/HACS and I wonder if it is possible to make service call with payload.

For example - I have heating system, which is not standard switch but it is climate entity. To turn on heating I would raise temperature and to turn off heating I would decrease temperature.

It is possible to do it through homeassistant UI:

If we can't call anything else, do you have any recommendation how to create "switch helper" which would raise/drop temperature on heating ?
Or any other recommendation how would/did you solve this ?

thanks
Marek

I will keep this idea for a future use. I have done something similar in Versatile Thermostat (for controling a central boiler). So it is quite easy to do and can be useful. Thanks for report !

Do you have any example how to make "switch helper" which would make another service call ?

[marekchowaniok]

I found example how to create switch for another service calls

as an example, this might be nice starting point
