New entity features in Climate entity
As of Home Assistant Core 2024.2 we have added two new flags into ClimateEntityFeature
: TURN_ON
, TURN_OFF
.
Integrations implementing turn_on
service call needs to set the TURN_ON
feature flag.
Integrations implementing turn_off
service call needs to set the TURN_OFF
feature flag.
There will be a 10 month deprecation period (2025.1) where ClimateEntity
will set these on behalf of the integrations implementing the respective methods and from 2025.1 it will make integrations unable to use the respective methods if entity features has not been set accordingly.
Implementing the methods without setting the respective feature flag will create a warning log entry guiding the user to create an issue for the integration.
Integrations should set the attribute _enable_turn_on_off_backwards_compatibility
in your ClimateEntity
subclass instance to False
once it has been migrated into using or not using the new feature flags.
This will stop the automatic setting of the new feature flags during the deprecation period and can be removed once deprecation has ended.
