Step-by-Step Configuration

1 Open Dashboard Editor

In Home Assistant, navigate to the dashboard you want to use for your Astrion Remote. Click Edit Dashboard in the top-right corner.

2 Add Climate Card

Click Add Card and search for "AC (ROS)" or "custom:aiks-climate-card". Select it to add the card to your dashboard.

3 Configure Climate Entity

Add your climate entity to the card. The Climate Card works with any Home Assistant climate entity that supports the standard climate.set_temperature service.

Example Configuration:

type: custom:aiks-climate-card entities: - entity_id: climate.living_room_ac uuid: 8fd848c5-78a1-41dc-bbf7-43b965bfe463 independent_display: true alias: "Living Room AC" icon_path: /local/community/RosCard/icon_img/icon_climate.png

4 Enable Independent Display

For any card you want to appear as a full-screen view on your Astrion Remote, enable Independent Display. This is particularly useful for room-specific climate control.

type: custom:aiks-climate-card entities: - entity_id: climate.bedroom uuid: 20d80393-3d1d-4618-8d27-542973799be3 independent_display: true alias: "Bedroom AC"

5 Save and Refresh

Click Save to apply your configuration. On your Astrion Remote, pull down from the top of the home screen and tap Refresh to load the new card.

⚠️ Important: The Climate Card requires the climate entity to support the standard climate.set_temperature service[reference:1]. If your integration uses a non-standard implementation (like some custom ESPHome configurations), the card may not function correctly.

YAML Reference

Full Parameter List

type: custom:aiks-climate-card entities: - entity_id: climate.entity_id # Required: Home Assistant climate entity uuid: string # Required: Unique identifier independent_display: true/false # Full-screen mode on remote alias: "Custom Name" # Display name on remote icon_path: /local/path/to/icon.png # Custom icon path

Parameter Details

entity_id — The Home Assistant entity ID for the climate device (e.g., climate.living_room_ac).
uuid — A unique identifier for the card. Generated automatically when you add the card.
independent_display — When true, the card appears as a full-screen dedicated view on the remote.
alias — A custom display name shown on the remote instead of the entity ID.
icon_path — Path to a custom icon image in the Home Assistant /local/ directory.

Temperature Presets

The Climate Card provides a temperature grid with presets: 16°, 18°, 20°, 22°, 24°, 26°, 28°, 30°C. Tap any preset to set the target temperature instantly.

HVAC Modes

Heat — Heating mode
Cool — Cooling mode
Dry — Dehumidification mode
Fan-only — Fan only, no heating or cooling
Auto — Automatically switches between Heat and Cool

💡 Tip: Fan speed buttons (Low, Medium, High, Auto) will be grayed out if the climate entity doesn't support fan speed control. Swing control is available when the entity supports the swing mode attribute.

Troubleshooting

Climate Card Not Showing on Astrion Remote

Refresh the remote: Pull down from the top of the home screen and tap Refresh.
Verify entity exists: Make sure the climate entity is available in Home Assistant.
Check YAML format: Ensure your configuration uses the correct syntax and indentation.
Update RosCard: If you're running an older version, update RosCard via HACS.

Temperature Controls Not Responding

Check entity status: Verify the climate entity is available and not unavailable in Home Assistant.
Test in Home Assistant: Try controlling the climate device directly from the Home Assistant UI to rule out connection issues.
Verify service support: Ensure the climate entity supports the climate.set_temperature service[reference:2].
Rebind entities: If the card was working before and stopped, try removing and re-adding the entity.

Fan Speed or Swing Controls Grayed Out

These controls are only available if the climate entity supports the fan speed and swing mode attributes.
Check the entity's supported features in Home Assistant Developer Tools.
Some integrations (like generic thermostat) may not support fan speed or swing control.

Independent Display Not Working

Ensure independent_display is set to true for the specific entity.
Only one card with independent_display: true will show as the dedicated view per dashboard.
Refresh the remote after saving changes.

🔧 Note: After updating RosCard to a new version, you may need to resave all your Climate Cards to refresh the binding. This is a known requirement for version updates.
