# PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT
This component is a revision of the official Home Assistant component 'Generic Thermostat' in order to have possibility to have target temperature variable according to a sensor state value.

## HOW TO INSTALL
Use HACS to install the custom component and configure it through the user interface (settings/integration) to have easy and smooth usage.

If you are for the manual method:
Just copy paste the content of the `climate.programmable_thermostat/custom_components` folder in your `config/custom_components` directory.

As example you will get the '.py' file in the following path: `/config/custom_components/programmable_thermostat/climate.py`.

## EXAMPLE OF SETUP
Config flow is available, so just configure all the entities you want through the user interface.

### HEATERS AND COOLER SPECIFITIES
From version 7.6 you will be able to set `heaters` and `coolers` to the same list and you'll get the correct way of work in manual mode.
This means that `heat` and `cool` mode will work correctly with the same list, but `heat_cool` mode will not (otherwise you will not be able to switch the real device between the 2 modes).
My suggestion is to set `hvac_options: 3` to remove the auto mode.

## NOTE
This component has been developed for the bigger project of building a smart thermostat using Home Assistant and way cheeper then the commercial ones.
You can find more info on that [here][3]

***
Everything is available through HACS.
