DuoFern Room Thermostat - hvac_modes

[hgsdfhjgs]

Hi,
I moved to HA two month ago and I really enjoy this Integration because I have a lot of Rademacher devices. It works really well. Big thank you for this work!!!!

I have now a change request for “DuoFern Room Thermostat”. I really like to see if my heating is running or not. Right now, the problem is the status “heat” is not visual in HA. There is no Icon and colour change.

The reason is that the “hvac_modes” are wrong. It is currently used for “auto-mode” and “manual-mode” covert as Heat/Cool.
I think the correct “hvac_modes” would be “heat” or “off” because this is what a thermostat does.

The “auto-mode” and “manual-mode” is just a configuration inside the thermostat if the target temperature can be changed automatically or not.

I looked in the documentation for “Climate Entity” and I found “preset_modes”. Maybe we can use “auto-mode” and “manual-mode” as “preset_modes” just in case someone need to use it.

To sum up my suggestion are:

hvac_modes:
"relaisstatus":0 = HVACMode.OFF
"relaisstatus":1 = HVACMode.HEAT

preset_modes:
"Manuellbetrieb":0 = ECO(auto-mode)
"Manuellbetrieb":100 = BOOST (manual-mode)

Is it possible to change the behavior like that? Thanks in advance.

Regards Chris

Hi @hgsdfhjgs, I thought I had resolved this, but actually I forgot some things.
By correcting the HVACModes, I now need to know which command is used by Homepilot to turn on (HEAT) or off the thermostat.
Can you help here? Do you know the json payload that is sent to homepilot when you turn on of off? Can you use the browser developer tools on the web interface to find this out so that I can put it in the code?
Thanks

Hi @peribeir,
I'm not quite sure if I understand you correct but form the homepilot GUI there is no way to turn off or on the heat. I can only change the goal temperature and the thermostat will turn on or off the heat.

"relaisstatus":0 = OFF
"relaisstatus":1 = ON
