The venstar climate platform allows you to control Venstar 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
- Setting the humidity level
Note - Please ensure you update your thermostat to the latest firmware. Currently tested on firmware 5.10.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
