I have created this climate:

- name: "Riscaldamento"
  unique_id: "termostato"
  modes:
    - "off"
    - "heat"
    - "cool"
  mode_command_topic: "home/riscaldamento_raffrescamento/TEST/mode/set"
  mode_state_topic: "home/riscaldamento_raffrescamento/TEST/mode/state"
  temperature_command_topic: "home/riscaldamento_raffrescamento/TEST/temp/set"
  current_temperature_topic: "home/riscaldamento_raffrescamento/TEST/temp/state"
  power_command_topic: "home/riscaldamento_raffrescamento/TEST/pump/set"
  payload_on: 1 
  payload_off: 0
  min_temp: 17
  max_temp: 28
  temp_step: 0.1
  precision: 0.1

thinking that the power_command_topic would be sent whenever the temperature would go over/under the one set, but nothing ever get send to that topic. How can I turn on the pump when the temperature goes under the one set and turn it off when it goes over?

    here is my config yaml for climate. added hint for your case but i never had heat pump, does your heat pump only heat or does it also cool? exemple here is ok if only heat. If yours heat/cool, try some of the hacs thermostat addon. A quick search led me to this https://community.home-assistant.io/t/generic-thermostat-switch-between-heating-and-cooling/420053 which point to https://github.com/swingerman/ha-dual-smart-thermostat but i know they are more hacs addon for thermostat, you may need to search which is good for your use if the one above doesn’t suit your needs

    climate:
  - platform: generic_thermostat
    name: Thermostat Chambre (Riscaldamento)
    heater: switch.radiateur_chambre (device to toggle your heat pump)
    target_sensor: sensor.sonde_chambre_temperature (your temp sensor)
    min_temp: 12
    max_temp: 21
    ac_mode: false
    target_temp: 19
    cold_tolerance: 0
    hot_tolerance: 0.1
    min_cycle_duration:
      seconds: 300
    keep_alive:
      minutes: 3
    initial_hvac_mode: "off" (set this to heat if you want it to be active when HA start/reboot)
    away_temp: 12
    precision: 0.1

      I’m trying to use the generic thermostat:

      climate:
  - platform: generic_thermostat
    name: termostato_raffreddamento
    heater: switch.valvola_climatizzazione
    target_sensor: sensor.aqara_temp_sala_temperature
    min_temp: 24
    max_temp: 28
    ac_mode: true
    target_temp: 26 
    cold_tolerance: 0.1
    hot_tolerance: 0.1
    min_cycle_duration:
      seconds: 300
    keep_alive:
      minutes: 3
    initial_hvac_mode: "off"
    away_temp: 28
    precision: 0.1

      But I only have the button to turn it off:

      If I click it nothing happens. What have I done wrong?

        on your card, click on the three dots. You should have more options there. If it doesn’t work, change “intial_hvac_mode” to “cool”

        edit: didn’t see your next replied, glad you work it out

        I remove the feature “Climate HVAC mode” and added it again and now I can use it.
