Thermostat node in auto mode #65

Open FireWizard52 opened 4 years ago

FireWizard52 commented 4 years ago

Hi,

My thermostat is supporting 3 different modes: auto, manual and off. These are presented in Node Red as: auto, day and night,

It is simple to convert the last two to GA modes heat and off. According to https://developers.google.com/assistant/smarthome/traits/temperaturesetting and the info pane of the Nora Thermostat node, auto should be supported as well.

It is nicely indicated below the Thermostat node, but in the Google Home app, it shows as "Other" and on the Google Nest Hub it is indicated as "unsupported node".

A more detailed description you may find in my post of April 20, 2020 at: https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=27588&p=244528&hilit=thermostat#p244528

Is the fact that the "Auto" mode is not correctly supported by Google known? Has someone a solution or workaround?

Looking forward for a response.

Regards

Hi, I think my issue is more related to this one : https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/25218

Hi, Yes could be, but I think the issue auto versus heatcool is applicable to all thermostats with mode "auto". So Google's answer of April 3 is interesting. If you try to find more regarding this, you will find that more users are having problems with thermostats, mode "auto" and Google Home.
