The `venstar` climate platform allows you to control [Venstar](http://www.venstar.com) thermostats from Home Assistant.
Venstar thermostats feature a local API that allows for automation without the need for a cloud service.
Currently supported and tested thermostats:
- Color Touch T7900
Currently supported functionality:
- Setting heat/cool temperature when the thermostat is in the appropriate mode.
- Changing the operation mode of the thermostat (heat/cool/off/auto)
- Turning the fan on/off
- Reading and setting the humidity level and limits
- Turning away mode on/off
- Turning hold mode on/off
The following values are supported for the hold_mode state attribute:
- `off`: *Enables* the scheduling functionality.
- `temperature`: *Disables* the schedule and holds the set temperature indefinitely.
Note - Please ensure you update your thermostat to the latest firmware. Currently tested on firmware 5.10.
To set it up, add the following information to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
climate:
- platform: venstar
host: IP_OR_HOSTNAME_OF_THERMOSTAT
```
{% configuration %}
