Support for Nettop custom enum

[Baldhor]

@Nettopp helped test many functions, let implement all the custom enum he need for his climate device :)

I need your "collect device info" for your climate device. I'm pretty sure you posted it somewhere, but just cannot find it anymore :) https://github.com/Baldhor/Homey-ESPhome-Enhanced/wiki/User-Guide#manage-your-physical-devices-page

@Baldhor Yay! Here is the debug log: Debug info.txt

@Nettopp A few questions :)

Custom Fan mode:

      {
        "nativeCapabilityId": "290099816:customFanMode",
        "entityId": "290099816",
        "attribut": "customFanMode",
        "entityName": "Panasonic AC",
        "type": "Climate",
        "used": 1,
        "value": "Automatic",
        "configs": {},
        "constraints": {
          "values": [
            "1",
            "2",
            "3",
            "4",
            "5",
            "Automatic"
          ],
          "type": "string"
        },
        "specialCase": null
      },

Usefull? Which values you would expect (1, 2, 3, ...) is not very meaningfull :)

Swing mode list:

          "supportedSwingModesList": [
            0,
            1,
            2,
            3
          ],

Usefull? I think not, you are using horizontal swing mode and vertical swing mode!

I will add a custom enum capability for:

• [ ] mode
• [ ] Panasonic AC Vertical Swing Mode
• [ ] supportedCustomPresetsList
• [ ] supportedCustomFanModesList

Fan mode equals fan speed, from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest), and auto. Its the same settings as the remote, no need to change this in my opinion.

Swing mode list:

          "supportedSwingModesList": [
            0,
            1,
            2,
            3
          ],

Usefull? I think not, you are using horizontal swing mode and vertical swing mode!

You are correct, swing mode is not in use for my heat pump. Vertical and horizontal takes its place.

I will add a custom enum capability for:

• [ ] Panasonic AC Vertical Swing Mode
• [ ] supportedCustomPresetsList
• [ ] supportedCustomFanModesList (if you need it)
• [ ] supportedSwingModesList (if you need it, but I don't think so)

Sounds good! You do not need to add swing mode, but fan mode would be great :) It would also be great if you could add mode (heat, cool, off, etc). That would be super useful.

You are right, I added horizontal swing mode, stil lneed mode lol => the most important :)

[Baldhor]

@Nettopp done: https://homey.app/fr-fr/app/nl.inversion.esphome/ESPhome/test/

If I did it right:

• mode, custom preset, fan mode and vertical swing mode should have a "ESPhome Custom Enum" proposal in the capability page
• If ESPhome Custom Enum is used:
  • A picker will appear in the device with the expected values
  • All the related cards (trigger, condition and action) will allow to choose those capabilities

Happy testing :)

[Nettopp]

@Baldhor Great, I'm currently testing! I did not get an option for custom enum on "mode", is this implemented?

[Baldhor]

Yes, and I cannot find any reason it wouldn't work out.

What about the 3 others ? fan_mode, vertical_swing and custom preset?

[Baldhor]

@Nettopp Found the issue for mode : https://homey.app/fr-fr/app/nl.inversion.esphome/ESPhome/test/

[Baldhor]

For info, I added a 'Custom Enum Request' type of issue for further needs: Custom Enum Request

Some peoples will not like it, but I'm asking for a beer in exchange!

[Nettopp]

@Baldhor Testing on 1.1.27, everything looks to be in order. All custom enums are there now, including mode. I have not testet every action card yet, but will try to make some flows over the weekend.

Charging for custom enums is very fair in my opinion, I came from Homeseer where you had to pay for most third party plugins (they were not cheap either). I sent you a tip last week, thank you for all your work with the climate component!
