Model# XE50T10HM00U0 Hot water heater - probably want to limit control options

[EpicBurrito]

Hello - I have connected to a model# XE50T10HM00U0 heat pump hot water heater.

This model connects over 120V and replaces an existing natural gas water heater - and as a result its controls are a little limited. There are no primary or secondary heating elements that run over resistive heat - there's only the heat pump.

As a result - the controls interface in HomeAssistant should probably be limited. There are too many preset options and some should be stripped away - they are not valid choices for this model.

In the Rheem app, my only options to choose from are Heat Pump, off, and vacation.
Doesn't really make sense to have "High Demand, Electric, or Eco" modes listed as available options in the HomeAssistant dropdown.

This would be the case for the following model numbers (all of the natural gas swap models made by Rheem):
XE40T10HM00U0
XE40T10HMS00U0
XE50T10HM00U0
XE50T10HMS00U0
XE65T10HM00U0
XE65T10HMS00U0
XE80T10HM00U0
XE80T10HMS00U0

Actually, I just ran through all of the options and none of them did anything at all. Some of them automatically reset back to 'Heat Pump' mode when I selected them.

Probably best solution would be to just remove the 'presets' entirely since none are valid, or make there be only one option, "Heat Pump" which is always selected.

Then the "Mode" button which lets you switch between Heat/Off is working correctly, which is good. Just the presets that don't make sense for this model.

Does the off preset work?

Can you post a screenshot of all your entities, blacking out the serial number? I think some sensors should also be removed.

The off preset does nothing. Nothing changes on the physical interface of the water heater, and in Home Assistant the preset actually gets reset by itself to 'Energy Saver' / Eco mode

I actually don't have to black out my serial number because for some reason it's not reporting anything on that sensor.

In your config add:

climate:
  - id: !extend econet_climate
    custom_presets:
      2: "Heat Pump"

and if you want to remove any of the sensors add something like the following:

sensor:
  - id: !remove hours_lower_heater
  - id: !remove hours_upper_heater
