Question: what’s the purpose of the on/off button? #47

Hi, Thank you very much for the fix! :) I have two questions regarding the new layout. There is an extra power button below the normal wheel. What is the purpose of this? I mean I can turn on the unit with the wheel, but with this button it seems I can’t control the unit. 789F6545-E115-4052-9661-54F29DA9677F The second question is about the 2 buttons at the lower end. They are not really readable and using the naming of the unit. What are the purpose of those buttons? 1FC336D7-A344-44BF-9970-1FC69AF4EA1F Thank you very much!

Hi there. Good question! I had the same issue. I believe both are HomeKit app bugs. The button is related to the Dehumidifier / Dry function, the buttons underneath the slider (Fan) are for Fan Mode (auto / manual) and Oscillate (swing mode).

Oh using it as three separate tiles causes everything to look proper but is a bit messy.

Is there a way to use it again as 1 tile or is it caused also by this bug?

this is a setting in your Home-app to use the accessoiry as seperate tile or as 1 tile I have mine as 1 tile Schermafbeelding 2021-01-17 om 20 49 06

Currently they are exposed as separate tiles and the button is saying "Toon als aparte tegels"... And when I power on the airco, there appears a third tile, the fan...

You can choose - as above - to have the as one tile. I think the question was answered above.
