Is it possible to put the W100 climate sensor into “HVAC mode” without pairing a thermostat (AC) with the M3 hub?
I’d like to handle button pressing via Home Assistant and would like to show the controls on the sensor screen.
@markwwd It seems like you’re interested in using the Aqara Climate Sensor W100 in “HVAC mode” without pairing it with a thermostat via the M3 hub. Based on the reference information, the Climate Sensor W100 can be bound with thermostat devices for wireless control, which implies the need for a hub with Matter Border Router or Zigbee functionality to fully utilize its features. However, the direct operation of HVAC mode independently of a thermostat pairing isn’t detailed in the available information.
Given your interest in controlling the display through Home Assistant, this setup may require custom integrations or workarounds within Home Assistant itself, as the standard configuration suggests pairing with a thermostat for full functionality.
I apologize for the lack of direct information regarding unpaired HVAC mode usage. Engaging with the community on similar custom setups might provide additional insights and possible solutions for your specific needs. If you have further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask.
@markwwd The reference information does not explicitly state whether the W100 climate sensor can enter “HVAC mode” without pairing a thermostat (AC) with the M3 hub. However, it is noted that when the remote control is unbound, users can customize the three-button interactions . For specific functionality like displaying controls on the sensor screen while handling button presses via Home Assistant, the available information does not cover this scenario.
