`DEV` The scale goes up very high #1510

Closed edwardtfn closed 9 months ago

edwardtfn commented 9 months ago

Oh and climate is also pretty broken for me. The scale goes up very high for example I can set to 146.5 C Don't think I need to set that high.. normal temp 21C is way over to left. I am using Ecobee and has been pretty good until now.

image image I also see no way to change to dual mode.. eg. here is screenshot from HA to set Heat/Cool image

@Doughboy68, could you please share the attributes of this climate entity? From Developer Tools, tab States.

Doughboy68 commented 9 months ago

Here...

hvac_modes: off, heat, cool, heat_cool min_temp: 7 max_temp: 35 min_humidity: 20 max_humidity: 50 fan_modes: on, auto current_temperature: 21.8 temperature: 22 target_temp_high: null target_temp_low: null current_humidity: 29 humidity: 36 fan_mode: auto hvac_action: idle friendly_name: Hallway supported_features: 15

edwardtfn commented 9 months ago 
target_temp_high: null
target_temp_low: null

This is interesting... The supported features indicates it supports target temperature range, however the range limits are null, but the single target is available (temperature: 22) and is also indicated as supported. It supports both dual as single targets, and at this moment it is acting as single target. I will have to play a bit with this data.

Thanks for sharing!

I've made a change on the Blueprint side and added some logs on the ESPHome side. Could you please update both parts and try again? Your logs will be welcome. 😉

Doughboy68 commented 9 months ago

Did not resolve issue... here is log, I changed temp couple times.

I press those buttons on bottom to change modes and while it does change they remain dim grey color as per original screenshot and previous 4.1 colors would change to indicate mode eg. Blue for ac orange for heat. There is also no fan mode button.. I can set On or Auto in HA but not in nspanel (those icons on bottom were my manual way of doing it with script but that seems is not working now - different issue).

The scale is still off.. .the temp vertical bar is still way over at left but it seems to correctly switch/display modes. But in dual mode, it seems there is no way to drag/adjust each hot/cool setpoint separately - maybe touch areas are too small?

This is interesting... The supported features indicates it supports target temperature range, however the range limits are null, but the single target is available (temperature: 22) and is also indicated as supported. It supports both dual as single targets, and at this moment it is acting as single target. I will have to play a bit with this data.

Thanks for sharing!

With the following: min_temp: 7 max_temp: 35

Must be an issue how the scale is created.

The target_temp_high: and target_temp_low: are just relevant in dual mode... in single heat or cool mode they are not set (null) and the temperature: should be used as target. This should have nothing to do with creating the scale though and should use the min_temp and max_temp, in my case 7-35 (I have experimented with this in previous build by setting overrides in configuration.yaml and can adjust the scale range).

I was thinking about this, and I remember reading that this dual climate for regular climate entities is result of work on the hardware integrated thermostat version. Therefore maybe it is relying on some settings that are in the climate addon which I do not use, causing the range to go to extreme.

I checked and in heat mode, it can go as low of 7 C and max of 207 C

Could you please upgrade your system to v4.2dev.5 and try it again. All the 3 parts (TFT, ESPHome and Blueprint) must be updated. 😞 I couldn't try myself, will try it tomorrow, but it would be nice if you can play with the system a bit and give some feedback (and logs, in case of errors).

This seems to work good now, the range is fine. I test heat and cool and is good, icons change color now depending on mode like before.

However, the dual mode, although I can adjust the sliders independently (still needs a bit more work I think the are too close - maybe separate +/- for each would help), it doesn't seem to actually adjust the thermostat temperatures correctly all the time. I did not do much testing but it seems that once I start moving the sliders, the values do not update anymore on my thermostat itself.. but if I go into the page and press +/- it seems to update the heat I believe.

Any plan to put in a fan mode - ie on/off/auto ? (mine only supports on/auto but probably would need an off also to cover all possibilities).
