Generic thermostat now supports both heating and cooling. I can set the HVAC mode by calling a service, but then the operation of the “heating” switch does not invert. This can be achieved by setting the “ac_mode” configuration variable, but then the configuration has to be changed.
How can I switch between heating and cooling (including the inverted “heating” switch operation) without changing the configuration?
Context: I have a heat pump with floor heating. I control the heat pump mode manually through HA, but then the operation of the floor heating valves (which are controlled with generic thermostats) also has to change.
