The `ephember` climate platform lets you control [EPH Controls](https://emberapp.ephcontrols.com/) thermostats. The module only works if you have a Wi-Fi gateway to control your EPH system and an account on the EMBER app.
To set it up, add the following information to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
climate:
- platform: ephember
username: YOUR_EMAIL
password: YOUR_PASSWORD
```
A single interface can handle up to 32 connected devices.
{% configuration %}
username:
description: The email address you used to sign up to the EMBER app.
required: true
type: string
password:
description: The password you used to sign up to the EMBER app.
required: true
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
The supported operation modes map to the ON/OFF period selection of your timeswitch / EMBER app. These include:
- **Auto** The timeswitch operates 3 on / off periods per day.
- **On** The timeswitch is permanently on.
- **Off** The timeswitch is permanently off.
If **All Day** is selected in the EMBER app it will show as **Auto** in Home Assistant.
To **Boost** your heating, you should call the `climate.set_aux_heater` service on your zone entity. This will then **Boost** that zone for 1 hour.
