# Heating and cooling

A thermostat, an air conditioner or a heat pump, as Home Assistant's climate entity.

</div>

**On the tile:** the icon, the name, the target and the current temperature, and what it is doing: heating, cooling, idle. The colour follows the mode: deep orange for heat, blue for cool, green for auto. Off is grey.

**Tap** or **hold** opens the card.

## The card

The temperature stands between a round − and + key; hold a key and it repeats. Under it, one key per mode the device has: heat, cool, heat and cool, auto, fan only, dry. **Fan** and **Swing** rows appear for a device that has them. The power key in the top of the card switches it off and on. A thermostat with a range shows the low and the high end, and a chip says which one you are moving.

## On a bigger tile

A tile two rows high shows the setpoint between − and + with the mode bar under it, so nobody needs the card. Under **Direct control on the tile** you choose: **Temperature − / +**, **Mode keys**, or both. A mode that doesn't fit the bar sits behind "…".

**On tap** can also be **On / off** for a device Home Assistant can toggle.
