ControlFirmware capability
ModesOff, Heat, Cool, Auto, Dry, and Fan. Additional modes beyond Apple Home's thermostat controls are available in the web interface.
Target temperatureAdjustments in 0.5°C increments; independent heat and cool targets in Auto mode.
Fan speedAuto, Quiet, Low, Med, High, and Max.
Vertical vaneAuto, five fixed positions, and Swing.
Horizontal vaneFive fixed positions, Split, and Swing.
Room sensorOne source or an average of selected remote sources, with per-sensor offsets. See room temperature sensors.

Apple Home has no vane controls; use the web interface. Remote access and automations require an Apple Home hub.

ESPHome standard entities

The standard build provides these Home Assistant entities. IDs follow your chosen name: living-room produces climate.living_room.

Climate and vane options

  • Modes: Off, Heat, Cool, Auto, Dry, and Fan.
  • Temperature: 15 to 31°C in 0.5° increments, with room temperature displayed to 0.1°. The indoor unit's limits still apply.
  • Fan speed: Auto, Quiet, Low, Medium, Middle, and High.
  • Vertical vane: Auto, five positions, and Swing.
  • Horizontal vane: five positions, Split, and Swing.

Auto mode uses one target by default. Separate heat/cool setpoints, swing on the climate entity, and Even/Indirect/Direct airflow are generator options. Omit the horizontal vane if the unit has none.

The generator can also add an i-See occupancy binary sensor, supported Night mode/Air purifier/Circulator switches, Bluetooth proxy, and ISU installer settings. See optional configuration features for requirements and installation.

Heat-pump diagnostic readings

See diagnostic readings or collect logs for support.

Matter controls in Google Home, Alexa, and SmartThings

The Matter thermostat provides power, Heat/Cool/Auto, target temperature and room temperature. Dry, fan-only, fan speed and vane controls may be absent from your app; use the web interface for those controls and diagnostics.

Unavailable settings

See settings the controller does not provide for static IP, light brightness, web access and update behavior.
