Heater issues when exposed to Homekit through Home Assistant #28

Closed edrikk closed 2 years ago

edrikk commented 2 years ago

When exposing the pool water heater to homekit, I found that the heater began acting very strange and would not stay on (it would become disabled in the Omnilogic App).

Checking the Home Assistant logs I see the below error message:

[31m2022-07-03 22:30:38 ERROR (MainThread) [pyhap.characteristic] TargetHeatingCoolingState: value=0 is an invalid value.

This old homebridge ticket seems to concur that the value 0 means "Off" which would line up with the behavior that I saw.

Also found this HA "fix/workaround" that I wanted to flag...

Sharing this in case there is a property that isn't being set correctly in haomnilogic.

This appears to be related to HomeKit not this integration unfortunately. We are using the standard Home Assistant values for STATE_ON and STATE_OFF as well as their in-built values for SUPPORT_OPERATION_MODE and SUPPORT_TARGET_TEMPERATURE

STATE_ON in Home Assistant is defined in their const.py as 'on' STATE_OFF in Home Assistant is defined as 'off'

If HomeKit is sending 0 it would be interpreted as invalid before it gets to this integration.

Unfortunately not something I can fix here.
