v0.9.8

What's Changed

Exciting New Features 🎉

Heat Pump Mode

Yes, it's here. This component can now be set up to control a heat pump with only one switch but can do cooling and heating using that lonely switch. Dual Smart Thermostat can now control it by providing a new input for the current mode of the heat pump (heating or cooling). This input can hook up a boolean sensor provider by the heat pump or with an input boolean for a manual switch to switch between heating and cooling.

heater: switch.study_heat_pump
target_sensor: sensor.study_temperature
heat_pump_cooling: sensor.study_heat_pump_state

• feat: heat pump mode (dual with only one switch) by @swingerman in #246

Suggested Power Level

If the feature is enabled, the component can provide two new state attributes: hvac_power_level and hvac_power_percent. These attributes are helpful if you can and want to control the speed or power of your devices.
To enable you need to add these to your config:

hvac_power_levels: 5 # <--- set this and/or
hvac_power_tolerance: 0.1 # <-- this to enable
hvac_power_min: 1  # <-- optional
hvac_power_max: 5 # <-- optional

• feat: provides power level and power per cent by @swingerman in #250
