+title: "Climate entity now supports independent horizontal swing"
+---
+
+As of Home Assistant Core 2024.10, we have implemented an independent property and method for controling horizontal swing in `ClimateEntity`.
+
+Integrations that supports completely independent control and state for vertical and horizontal swing can now use the previous `swing_mode` for vertical support only and use the new `swing_horizontal_mode` for providing the horizontal vane state.
+
+Integrations that don't have independent control should still keep using the current `swing_mode` for both vertical and horizontal support.
+
+
+### Example
+
+Example requirements to implement `swing` and `swing_horizontal` in your climate entity.
