    :description: Information about the base representation of all climate devices.

ESPHome has support for climate devices. Climate devices can represent different types of
hardware, but the defining factor is that climate devices have a settable target temperature
and can be put in different modes like HEAT, COOL, AUTO or OFF.

.. _config-climate:

Base Climate Configuration
--------------------------

All climate platforms in ESPHome inherit from the climate configuration schema.

.. code-block:: yaml

    climate:
      - platform: ...
        visual:
          min_temperature: 18 °C
          max_temperature: 25 °C
          temperature_step: 0.1 °C

Configuration variables:

- **visual** (*Optional*): Visual settings for the climate device - these do not
  affect operation and are solely for controlling how the climate device shows up in the
  frontend.

  - **min_temperature** (*Optional*, float): The minimum temperature the climate device can reach.
    Used to set the range of the frontend gauge.
  - **max_temperature** (*Optional*, float): The maximum temperature the climate device can reach.
    Used to set the range of the frontend gauge.
  - **temperature_step** (*Optional*, float): The granularity with which the target temperature
    can be controlled.

Advanced options:

- **internal** (*Optional*, boolean): Mark this component as internal. Internal components will
  not be exposed to the frontend (like Home Assistant). Only specifying an ``id`` without
  a ``name`` will implicitly set this to true.
- If MQTT enabled, all other options from :ref:`MQTT Component <config-mqtt-component>`.

Climate Automation
------------------

.. _climate-control_action:

``climate.control`` Action
**************************

This is an :ref:`Action <config-action>` for setting parameters for climate devices.

.. code-block:: yaml

    - climate.control:
        id: my_climate
        mode: AUTO
        target_temperature: 25°C

Configuration variables:

- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The ID of the climate device to control.
- **mode** (*Optional*, string, :ref:`templatable <config-templatable>`): Put the climate device
  in a specific mode. One of ``OFF``, ``AUTO``, ``COOL`` and ``HEAT``.
- **target_temperature** (*Optional*, float, :ref:`templatable <config-templatable>`): Set the
  target temperature of a climate device.
- **target_temperature_low** (*Optional*, float, :ref:`templatable <config-templatable>`): Set the
  lower target temperature of a climate device with a two-point target temperature.
- **target_temperature_high** (*Optional*, float, :ref:`templatable <config-templatable>`): Set the
  higher target temperature of a climate device with a two-point target temperature.
- **away** (*Optional*, boolean, :ref:`templatable <config-templatable>`): Set the away mode
  of the climate device.

.. _climate-lambda_calls:

lambda calls
************

From :ref:`lambdas <config-lambda>`, you can call several methods on all binary sensors to do some
advanced stuff.

- Attributes: All climate devices have read-only attributes to get the current state of the device.

  .. code-block:: yaml

      // Current mode, type: ClimateMode (enum)
      id(my_climate).mode
      // Current temperature, type: float (degrees)
      id(my_climate).current_temperature
      // Target temperature, type: float (degrees)
      id(my_climate).target_temperature
      // Lower Target temperature, type: float (degrees)
      id(my_climate).target_temperature_low
      // High Target temperature, type: float (degrees)
      id(my_climate).target_temperature_high
      // Away mode, type: bool
      id(my_climate).away

- ``.make_call``: Control the climate device

  .. code-block:: yaml

      auto call = id(my_climate).make_call();
      call.set_mode("OFF");
      // etc. see API reference
      call.perform();
