Add climate panel

[Oxygen54]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Since the NS Panel has a temperature sensor, it would be interesting to be able to use it as a thermostat.

Describe the solution you'd like
The best option is to use the Home Assistant Climate panel and have a page like this :

Additional context
All these settings would be available on Home Assistant to control power on/off, mode selection, ... as shown in the photo. Maybe create entities that contain the settings?

I'm not quite sure what you are asking here, do you wish to have the NSPanel be able to control thermostats in Home Assistant or do you wish to be able to use the NSPanel as a thermostat? If so, there is already an issue tracking that #112

[Oxygen54]

Yeah, be able to use the NS Panel as a thermostat, my plan is to deploy this panel in five room, currently I have thermostat in each room and my goal is to replace them with the NSPanel & NSPanel Manager. So yes as the same spirit like the #112 but update entities and not relays and uses an interface similar at the climate panel of Home Assistant

In example :

• Panel_room_1_condition : "Heating to target", "Cooling to target", "Off"
• Panel_room_1_target_tmp : 25°C
• Panel_room_1_current_tmp : 21°C
• Panel_room_1_mode : Heat / Cool
• Panel_room_1_fan_speed : Low/Medium/high

Does that make sense ?

[tpanajott]

Yhea, that seems doable. What do you mean by "update entities and not relays"? I'm guessing having a thermostat interface on the NSPanel and have that update TRV or similar?

[Oxygen54]

In my plan, I will use automation or scripts to control my air conditioner in HA, I will soon control my AC with an ESP32 with this project : https://github.com/JanM321/esphome-lg-controller

And instead of having the Home Assistant climate module, have it on the NS Panel like a thermostat.

I'm not quite following why this can't already be done as you have the NSPanel temperature in HA already. Is there something I'm missing or is it simply the fact that you want to be able to control the HA thermostat from the NSPanel?

[Oxygen54]

Yes, I want the ability to control the HA thermostat from each NS Panel in different rooms

I don't want to create another issue, because this is a simple question and is related to the climate. I have not found such information anywhere.
@tpanajott If the NSPanel disconnects from the manger for some reason, the thermostat continues to work properly (even if it goes into AP mode) ? The idea is to stay as autonomous as possible and not to overheat the floor, for example.

Yes, that is the plan!
