Mushroom Climate Card: Fan Control? | Home Assistant | Page 1

I wonder if I'm just missing something as I feel like this is a rather basic function that surely must be supported, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get fan controls on my Mushroom Climate Card. Everything else works fine, but how do I enable fan controls so that I can toggle the HVAC fan on independently when I want to circulate the air in the house? The standard Lovelace card does this, so I know it isn't an issue with my HVAC system or integration (Ecobee.)

Did you check if you have a Fan Only HVAC mode? I use a different thermostat but it's there for me and does that. Also, if you set the action to More Info you'll see the fan mode there as well:

I do. Like I said the standard card (the one in your screenshot) allows me to toggle the fan separately. I just haven't figured out how to do it with the Mushroom card.

That is a mushroom card, not the stock climate control.

type: custom:mushroom-climate-card
entity: climate.honeywell_thermostat
hvac_modes: []
show_temperature_control: true
tap_action:
  action: more-info

that's really weird, my mushroom cards look nothing like that:

#

It shows that when you click on it, it's on the card itself

flint bough Oct 5, 2024, 3:20 PM

#

then it's just the standard HA "more-info" popup?

#

think what @crude quest wants is to be able to be able to set the fan speed in the same way it can set the temperature setpoint

#

which i don't think is possible with mushroom-climate

fallen smelt Oct 5, 2024, 3:22 PM

#

If you wanted that on the pill itself you could do it with card-mod

#

The closest I think you can do is by defining HVAC modes on the card you can set fan only/heat/cool/etc - but you can't then set the fan speed when it's in FO mode

Ours doesn't have fan speeds anyway. Its either on or off. So that would be perfect, except that's exactly my problem: that fan icon won't appear even if I add the fan only entity!

If you have temperature control set as well you need to click on the little icon on the rhs to display the mode buttons rather than the temperature

#

and just to confirm, it's a setup like this:

Yes, it's set up exactly like that. All of the other options appear, but not the fan control.

flint bough Oct 5, 2024, 4:48 PM

#

oh that's very strange. does your hvac actually have the fan only option?

crude quest Oct 5, 2024, 4:48 PM

#

Yeah. As stated in my original post, it works fine with the default Lovelace card.

#

flint bough Oct 5, 2024, 4:49 PM

#

that doesn't have fan_only

#

crude quest Oct 5, 2024, 4:50 PM

#

Hmm. Well the "fan_mode" option is all the default Lovelace card needs.

#

flint bough Oct 5, 2024, 4:52 PM

#

is what i get

crude quest Oct 5, 2024, 4:53 PM

#

I guess maybe the Mushroom card doens't suppor the "fan_mode" attribute...?

#

Ugh. Frustrating.

flint bough Oct 5, 2024, 4:53 PM

#

no, i think it only looks at the hvac_modes attribute

#

sorry

crude quest Oct 5, 2024, 4:53 PM

#

I wonder if there's a way to add that mode to the attributes somehow.

flint bough Oct 5, 2024, 4:54 PM

#

what integration is this going through?

crude quest Oct 5, 2024, 4:54 PM

#

Ecobee

#

Cloud (not Homekit)

flint bough Oct 5, 2024, 4:55 PM

#

ah don't know it, but i think it'd struggle even if you somehow fudged it

#

the integration wouldn't know to turn "set hvac_mode: fan_only" into "set fan_mode: on"

crude quest Oct 5, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

It's just frustrating that the default lovelace card works just fine, but the mushroom one doesn't, lol. We have 5 zones, so we have 5 thermostats to control, and stacking 5 of the default lovelace cards gets very clumsy on mobile.

flint bough Oct 5, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

yeha i know what you mean

crude quest Oct 5, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

Would love to use 5 mushroom cards instead, but without the ability to control the fan separately, it's kind of a no-go.

flint bough Oct 5, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

could you just add an extra button: press this to turn all the fans on/off?

crude quest Oct 5, 2024, 4:57 PM

#

I'm not even sure how to create a separate button to do it. A separate toggle would suffice but I need to figure out how to tie it to that attribute.

flint bough Oct 5, 2024, 4:59 PM

input button helper +

automation triggered on input button state change
if button on:
set <list of AC units> fans to on
else
set <list of AC units> fans to auto

crude quest Oct 5, 2024, 5:01 PM

#

Hmm. I'll look into that!

flint bough Oct 5, 2024, 5:03 PM

#

something like this:

description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - input_button.heating_boost
condition: []
action:
  - if:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: input_button.heating_boost
        state: "on"
    then:
      - service: climate.set_fan_mode
        data:
          fan_mode: "on"
        target:
          label_id: ac_units
    else:
      - service: climate.set_fan_mode
        target:
          label_id: ac_units
        data:
          fan_mode: auto
mode: single

#

then just add all the ac units in that label (or list them individually if you're a masochist)

Thanks! Gotta head out right now, but I will mess around with this later. You've been very helpful!
