Climate ​

A Climate card controls a Home Assistant climate entity, such as a thermostat, heat pump, air conditioner, or radiator thermostat.

Climate card showing target temperature and current idle status

Setting Up a Climate Card ​

  1. Select a card and change its type to Climate.
  2. Enter the Climate Entity, for example climate.living_room.
  3. Choose Label Display:
    • Label shows the card label.
    • Status shows the current climate status, such as Off, Heating, Cooling, or Idle.
    • Actual shows the current measured temperature.
    • Target shows the target temperature.
  4. If Label is selected, set a Label if you want custom text. The default label is Climate.
  5. Choose Icon & Temperatures:
    • Icon shows the selected icon instead of a large temperature. Choose separate Off Icon and On Icon values if you want the icon to change when the climate entity is on.
    • Actual shows the current measured temperature as the large number.
    • Target shows the target temperature as the large number.
  6. Choose Temperature Display:
    • 10 shows whole numbers.
    • 10.2 shows one decimal place.
  7. Choose Temperature Step:
    • 1 degree changes the target by whole degrees.
    • 0.5 degree changes the target by half degrees. Home Assistant limits still apply, and larger Home Assistant target_temp_step values are respected.
  8. Use Advanced only if you want to override the minimum or maximum temperature range shown on the panel. Negative values are supported, for example -25 to 5 for a freezer thermostat.

How It Works on the Panel ​

The card can show either an icon or a large temperature. It lights up when Home Assistant reports that the climate entity is actively heating, cooling, drying, or running the fan. Idle and off states do not show as active.

Tapping the card opens a climate control popup. From there, you can:

  • Change the target temperature.
  • Adjust low and high targets for heat/cool mode when the entity supports them.
  • Change HVAC mode, such as Off, Heat, Cool, Heat/Cool, Auto, Dry, or Fan.
  • Change fan, swing, or preset modes when the entity exposes those options.

The card follows Home Assistant attributes such as current temperature, target temperature, min/max temperature, target step, HVAC mode, fan mode, swing mode, and preset mode.

Requires Home Assistant actions

Climate cards send Home Assistant climate actions from the panel. If controls do not respond, check Enable Actions.
