## Air-to-Water device
An Air-to-Water device provides `water_heater`, `climate` and `sensor` platforms.
### Climate
A `climate` platform entity is provided for each radiator zone in the air-to-water system. The following parameters can be controlled:
- Target room temperature
The radiators need to be configured to run in room temperature control mode either through the local HMI or MELCloud. Flow temperature and curve modes are not supported.
Some air-to-water devices allow cooling using the radiator zones. This feature has not been implemented due to the lack of sample devices.
The system cannot be turned on/off through the `climate` entities.
#### State attributes
|Attribute|Description|Example|
|---------|-----------|-------|
|`status` |Current operation status|`idle`|
### Sensor
The following attributes are available for `sensor` platform entities:
- Room temperature for each zone
- Tank water temperature
- Outside temperature - 1°C precision, polled every 1-2 hours.
Unlike air-to-air devices, air-to-water devices do not report energy consumption in an easily accessible manner.
### Water heater
The following parameters can be controlled for the `water_heater` platform entities:
- Power - Controls the entire system.
- Target tank temperature
- Operation mode
