I believe that wouldn't be that hard, as most of the attributes are the same and just the service calls will be a bigger difference, however I don't have a water_heater myself, so testing would be challenging... Would you be willing to help? 😉

Hi, sure, I can help, just tell me what to do and I'll be glad to help

Thanks a lot!
I have to do some development first, but for now, if you can go to Developer Tools, tab "States", find your water heater entity and share here it's status and attributes it would be useful.

[PaulBiod]

Here it is :

entity : water_heater.aqua_ariston
State: green
attributes:
  min_temp: 40
  max_temp: 53
  operation_list:
    - program
    - i-memory
    - boost
    - green
  current_temperature: 37
  temperature: 40
  target_temp_high: null
  target_temp_low: null
  operation_mode: green
  target_temp_step: 1
  hvac_action: heating
  icon: mdi:water-pump
  friendly_name: Aqua Ariston
  supported_features: 3

If it can help, I use this custom component to have my ariston hybrid integrated :

It helps a lot, thanks.
I will see what I can do.

You're welcome, anything else, don't hesitate.
Thanks for all

Do you use a specific card in Home Assistant to control that water heater? Could you please share a screenshot?

[PaulBiod]

I just installed it yesterday, so no, no specific card, but here is the automatic card generated by HA when I click on my boiler entity
