#`climate.set_preset_mode`
spark hound
That's what i tried in the second pic there. It's not populating a list of options, so I'm not certain how I'm supposed to format it

You have to type the mode to set it to in the Preset mode field
It does not create new presets
There will be no list to select from in the UI
spark hound
Which I guess answers the other question I had on the idea of renaming presets
and once I did that, and ran it, the trace was able to tell me that it has to be lowercase Error: Preset mode Away is not valid. Valid preset modes are: none, away, comfort, eco, home, sleep, activity
can't help but feel like that helper isn't fully fleshed out or something
but it's working now
cyan beacon
The UI helper is for basic usecases. More complex stuff needs the YAML configuration
spark hound
i meant the generic thermostat helper. more of a documentation thing probably, but hopefully that is less an issue now
cyan beacon
I'm surprised, it supports presets 🤔
Did you use customization to tinker it in?
spark hound
nope. settings -> device -> helper -> add helper -> generic thermostat, and then it's the second page of the setup

generic seems to support some hardcoded presets
spark hound
very hardcoded
cyan beacon
In that case they seem to have added more in the UI than in the documented YAML version.
spark hound
hence my confusion 😛
cyan beacon
You can set preset temperatures in the UI
spark hound
yeah, i was about to post pic 😛
toxic stone
they are documented for yaml too though

As for the list not being populated, that's just an unfortunate side effect of how the services architecture is constructed. We can't show a list of options that is specific to an individual entity.
Same reason why select service doesn't offer a dropdown either.
So you just have to type it in.

if it's specific to the entity, then i wish i could rename the options
