If i adjust the fan speed it switches the air conditioner off.

So i can set air temperature but not the speed of the fan using the air-con tile

Hey @putthegundownkinkade can you post your Panasonic model number?

Hey @rupertbg

I have a 2.5kw and a 5kw TKR and a 7.1kw VKR

All have CZ TACG1 wifi adapters

There's a few reasons for this. HomeKit doesn't support a Thermostat with a Fan, only a HeaterCooler. However this doesn't work correctly with the Heat Pumps as they only have one threshold temperature (not two). Instead I implemented the Fan function of the Heat Pump which is the behaviour you're seeing. I'll have to think about this a bit more how we can solve it.

The prior functionality worked well for me.

You could tap the icon in HomeKit to toggle the air conditioner on/off and long press to adjust temperature and mode etc.

Is it no longer possible to show it like that?

edit: also fan speed is now a separate function so if I adjust fan speed it turns of the air conditioner and just works as a fan. I can set temperature for the aircon but not fan speed
