Hello,

I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?

Cheers,

Laurent

What is being published to hisense_ac/ca2c4f5f18c3/t_fan_power/status? It looks like it should be just the text off or on from your config.

[piejanssens]

@arachnetech Yes, indeed. Do I need to transform it to strings 'ENABLED' and 'DISABLED'?

[arachnetech]

No, on or off should be fine as you've configured that in swingModeValues. Odd. I'll try to reproduce if I get time.

[arachnetech]

Should be fixed in v1.1.44.
