Climate and Thermostat Control

Feature Request: Add Climate/Thermostat Control Entity in NSPanel Manager

Currently, NSPanel Manager does not provide a native way to control Home Assistant climate or thermostat entities (e.g., HVAC, floor heating thermostats, heat pumps, radiators). This limits the NSPanel’s usefulness as a full home automation control point. I’m looking for a way to quickly adjust temperature, mode (heat/cool/auto), and presets directly from the NSPanel UI.

I would like NSPanel Manager to support a dedicated climate/thermostat control card/entity, allowing the user to:
• View current temperature & target temperature
• Change target temperature (step control)
• Change HVAC mode (heat, cool, auto, off)
• Change preset modes (eco, comfort, boost, etc.) if available
• Display humidity (if supported by the entity)
• Show heating/cooling status
• Optionally integrate with themes/styles used for lights/media controls

Ideally, this should work similarly to how lights/fans entities are currently integrated.

Additional context
• Many users run NSPanel as a room thermostat interface, especially with floor heating or heat pumps.
• This feature would bring NSPanel Manager closer to a full control hub.
• Also would be nice to use local relays to control valves or vans

Lucky for you thermostats/climate are next on the list of things to do. They are somewhat working, we just need to finish up the rest.

You should however already be able to control valves/under floor heating using the relays.

Very good, many thanks.

So I'll proceed with nspanel manager, to manage all my nspanels.

Is there any docs in terms of that?

Docs in regards of what? Installing? If so, check https://nspanelmanager.com

Thermostat is not yet implemented, it will come when I have time to fully implement and test it. Hopefully around Christmas time when work slows down a bit.

Hi, is there any progress here? Would be great to be able to control a climate entity. :-)

Awsome to hear thermostat functionality is next on the list. I just installed NSPanel Manager and was searching for the functionalty. So I no longer have to search for it but to wait a little bit :)
I agree with @stepa-gms that this would bring NSPanel Manager a huge step forward for a full control unit in every room.

Do you have an idea on a time frame where we can expect the thermostat feature in the main branch?

We are in the final testing phase for the thermostat functionality. It all looks promising so far but life is quite busy at the moment. We should have it ready within a couple of weeks or so i would think.
