Not able to switch pid-mode to auto

[jorometala]

Describe the bug After autotune successfully done pid mode automatically is set to auto which is good. But if i set , k params in config.yaml and restart HA, autotune start over, If autotune is disabled in config I'm not able to switch to pid mode auto. Service executes without error but pid-mode stays off

To Reproduce 1 set K params manually in config 2 set pid-mode to auto

Expected behavior Pid mode in the status entity to be set to auto

Hi, please post your configuration Yaml once auto-tune is disabled.

Here is the configuration.yaml ` climate:

• platform: smart_thermostat name: Smart Thermostat livingroom unique_id: Livingroom Heating heater: switch.shellyplus1_083af2027874 target_sensor: sensor.livingroom_h_and_t_temperature min_temp: 10 max_temp: 28 ac_mode: False comfort_temp: 21 noiseband: 0.2 target_temp: 21

  autotune: "pessen-integral"

  autotune: "off" keep_alive: seconds: 60 away_temp: 14 kp: 45.47284088339883 ki: 0.15898451616875717 kd: 4889.536679696049 pwm: 00:15:00 `

and the status of the entity after I trigger the pid_mode set service to auto ` hvac_modes:

• heat
• 'off' min_temp: 10 max_temp: 28 preset_modes:
• none
• away
• comfort current_temperature: 20.9 temperature: 21 hvac_action: idle preset_mode: none away_temp: 14 eco_temp: null boost_temp: null comfort_temp: 22 home_temp: null sleep_temp: null activity_temp: null control_output: 0 Kp: 45.47284088339883 Ki: 0.15898451616875717 Kd: 4889.536679696049 Ke: 0 pid_mode: 'off' pid_p: 0 pid_i: 0 pid_d: 0 pid_e: 0 pid_dt: 0 autotune_status: 'off' autotune_sample_time: null autotune_tuning_rule: 'off' autotune_set_point: null autotune_peak_count: 0 autotune_buffer_full: 0 autotune_buffer_length: 10 friendly_name: Livingroom heating supported_features: 17 `

Please try commenting the autotune: "off" line in configuration Yaml.

I have done it and restarted HA. Here is the result: `hvac_modes:

• heat
• 'off' min_temp: 10 max_temp: 28 preset_modes:
• none
• away
• comfort current_temperature: 21.5 temperature: 21 hvac_action: idle preset_mode: none away_temp: 14 eco_temp: null boost_temp: null comfort_temp: 22 home_temp: null sleep_temp: null activity_temp: null control_output: 0 Kp: 45.47284088339883 Ki: 0.15898451616875717 Kd: 4889.536679696049 Ke: 0 pid_mode: 'off' pid_p: 0 pid_i: 0 pid_d: 0 pid_e: 0 pid_dt: 0 autotune_status: 'off' autotune_sample_time: 0 autotune_tuning_rule: none autotune_set_point: 0 autotune_peak_count: 0 autotune_buffer_full: 0 autotune_buffer_length: 0 friendly_name: Livingroom heating supported_features: 17 `

[jorometala]

actually after turning pid_mode to auto from the service this time make a difference and: `hvac_modes:

• heat
• 'off' min_temp: 10 max_temp: 28 preset_modes:
• none
• away
• comfort current_temperature: 21.5 temperature: 21 hvac_action: idle preset_mode: none away_temp: 14 eco_temp: null boost_temp: null comfort_temp: 22 home_temp: null sleep_temp: null activity_temp: null control_output: 0 Kp: 45.47284088339883 Ki: 0.15898451616875717 Kd: 4889.536679696049 Ke: 0 pid_mode: auto pid_p: -22.7 pid_i: 0 pid_d: 0 pid_e: 0 pid_dt: 370.34221029281616 autotune_status: 'off' autotune_sample_time: 0 autotune_tuning_rule: none autotune_set_point: 0 autotune_peak_count: 0 autotune_buffer_full: 0 autotune_buffer_length: 0 friendly_name: Livingroom heating supported_features: 17

` do you see anything wrong in these values?

[ScratMan]

OK, understood. The autotune: "off" line will try to enable the autotuner with the "off" rule that doesn't exist, so the PID is forced off until the auto-tune is done, but autotuner remains off because rule is not recognised.
