Hi, I wanted to make this automation for a long time, but i've been struggling for a bit with it. The mini-split system i use has heating mode (Midea) and i use ESPHome to control it. The only thing i want to make is when i turn off the HVAC from heating mode then let the ventilation mode kick in to cool it down to less than 25℃/77F and then turn the HVAC off. I'm not very familiar with how the climate component separates the attributes associated with the HVAC, but we need the current_temperature <- the inside temperature of the mini-split system to monitor the temperature.

current_temperature is the temperature of the sensor the climate uses to monitor the area it is cooling or heating. I am assuming you want to cool down the actual HVAC, not the area you have been previously heating?
The current_temperature is the temp sensor that's inside the indoor unit, so it's what i want to have it as the temp to monitor. And yes you are correct i want to cool down the indoor unit and not the room. (PS: I won't set the heating any higher than 25℃/77F so that is the maximum temp the room will ever achieve)
ok, do you have this "current_temperature" available that is meaningful for the actual heater temperature and not the room temperature?
