Thermostat Device

Device Category: thermostat

The Thermostat device represents a climate control system that monitors and adjusts temperature and related environmental factors.

Required Channels

These channels are mandatory for the functionality of the thermostat:

Channel	Description	Multiple	Details
`temperature`	Measures the current temperature in an environment, reported in degrees Celsius.	No	See details
`thermostat`	Manages climate control systems, allowing adjustments of heating, cooling, and fan settings.	No	See details
`device_information`	Provides metadata about the device, including manufacturer details, model information, and operational statuses.	No	See details

These channels are optional and provide additional features:

Channel	Description	Multiple	Details
`contact`	Tracks the open or closed state of a contact point, such as a door, window, or cabinet.	No	See details
`cooler`	Controls devices that lower air or liquid temperatures, such as air conditioners or refrigeration systems.	No	See details
`heater`	Manages heating devices, allowing control of temperature settings and modes.	No	See details
`humidity`	Measures the relative humidity in the environment, reported as a percentage.	No	See details
`electrical_energy`	Measures the total energy consumption over time, typically reported in kilowatt-hours (kWh).	No	See details
`electrical_power`	Reports real-time power metrics such as voltage, current, and wattage for monitoring and diagnostics.	No	See details

Temperature Control:
- Set target temperatures and HVAC modes using the thermostat channel. Monitor current temperature with the temperature channel.
Climate Scheduling:
- Configure heating and cooling schedules through thermostat modes (home, away, sleep, eco).
Multi-Zone Control:
- Integrate with heater and cooler channels for precise zone-based climate management.
