Thermostat maximum temperature.. plugin or HomeKit limitation? #16

Open durosity opened 2 years ago

I have a hot water tank which is on a thermostat which varies in temp between 20°C and 70°C. It works fine in Indigo but when published to Home via this plugin the maximum temperature I can set for it is 35°C. Is this a hard limit set in the plugin, or is it a limit of HoneKit? If it's the plugin, is there any way of increasing the maximum to 70°C?

It seems HomeKit can display any temperature to 100 degrees Celsius, but controlling temp is max at 38 degrees.

Confirmed that Thermostat Target temperature maximum is 38 degree Celsius

So you could publish a temperature sensor device - but wouldn’t be able to adjust temperature (as not thermostat)

Further - review - may be possible to have a complete separate device type to do this.

What is the Indigo Device that you are using - can you let me know and/or post device states
