Inability to select Favorite program #311

Describe the bug

Hello. Not sure if this should be possible or not, but i am trying to call the Home Connect Alt: Select Program service from the HA dev tools in order to select the favourite smart cycle configured and stored via the app in my BSH dishwasher but i get an error.

Version of the custom_component

1.0.1

Debug log

error_log-1.txt

Failed to call service home_connect_alt.select_program. The selected program key is not available

This is the way I am trying to call the service:

service: home_connect_alt.select_program
data:
  validate: true
  device_id: 0b1d0e86f582523e658450126f04f0d8
  program_key: BSH.Common.Program.Favorite.001

However when I do so I get the error "Failed to call service home_connect_alt.select_program. The selected program key is not available".

If I press the Favorite button on the dishwasher I can see some of the entities are changing values like so:

sensor.403100517583003871_selected_program = BSH.Common.Program.Favorite.001 (I assumed this is the key that I should reference in the service call)
sensor.403100517583003871_bsh_common_option_programname = Smart Cycle Custom (the name that i've set in the app for the favorite program)

Is this supposed to work and I am doing something wrong? Please let me know. Thank you! :)

In general the API indicates which programs are available for use at any given time and the integration is using that information. You can bypass the validation by setting "validate" to false when calling the service but most likely you will just get an error from HC.

Yes. I tried calling the service without validation option but it still doesn't work. I get an unsupported operation error. Is there a fix for this or will there be one in the future?

Thanks!

This is not an issue with the integration, it's just not supported by the API. The fix is for HC to add support for it, nothing I can do about it but feel free to report this to HC and hopefully they will add support for it at some point.
