Sorry if this has been answered before.
I have a home brew thermostat that communicates via MQTT to HA. At some point in the recent past, a topic was added to separate “state” from “mode”, i.e. state=heating, mode=heat. Is there any way to get the HVAC card in lovelace to display what it is receiving in the state message so that you know what the current operation is vs the mode?
If not, what exactly is the state message used for in HA?
