Generic thermostat, thermostat card and away_temp

I have a generic thermostat that has very basic settings:

  - platform: generic_thermostat
    name: Bathroom
    heater: switch.floor_bathroom
    target_sensor: sensor.temp_mathroom
    hot_tolerance: 0
    away_temp: 18

I’m displaying it in lovelace using thermostat card

entity: climate.bathroom
type: thermostat

but I don’t get the ability to activate away preset.
I get this view:

If I visit Home Assistant demo website (https://demo.home-assistant.io/#/lovelace/0) I can see that there is an option to enable away mode and even other modes:

Can I display an additional icon in the thermostat card for away_mode? Should this work by default? Is this a bug, or it this unsupported by generic thermostat?
I know that I can use automation to set away as preset_mode, but why this isn’t available in the thermostat card? The demo shows that it works.
I use Home Assistant 0.100.3 if that matters.
