climate config no longer connecting to home assistant

[spattinson]

Hassbian Operating environment/Installation (Hass.io/Docker/pip/etc.):

ESPHome version 1.14.3 compiled on Nov 22 2019, 18:57:36 ESP (ESP32/ESP8266, Board/Sonoff): Wemos D1 Mini

Affected component: climate bang bang

Description of problem: I had a working config using the below. I noticed that if I changed the temperature in the frontend the following day after "away" mode has been on the temperature reverted to the default in the config not the set temp in the frontend. IDK if this is by design or not?

I decided to not use away mode for night time and instead switch to mode OFF in the hope that my setpoint would be retained. So instead of "away" on/off in the below config I put "mode" off/auto. That resulted in the esp no longer connecting to HA. I reverted the changes, and the esp still does not connect to HA. The documentation for climate says: mode (Optional, string, templatable): Put the climate device in a specific mode. One of OFF, AUTO, COOL and HEAT. Now previously when my config was working it was HEAT/COOL when it was on. You may remember a previous bug report https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/840 about that.There seems to be no way to set HEAT/COOL in esphome config that I can see. I am guessing that setting AUTO in esphome which it accepts my have broken the integration somehow because all the sensors, climate etc are all unavailable now. Thanks in advance

Please put this on hold while I find out whats wrong with my network. Its a weird issue other devices can connect with esp node, HA cannot.

[spattinson]

Network issue resolved. setting mode "heat" does not heat without constraints from the temperature sensor like it does in front end. I'm confused about how this should work. Setting mode=heat in esphome is not the same as setting mode=heat in front end. the mode=heat in esphome is heat/cool in front end and setting heat in frontend heats without constraints. There seems to be mismatch between the documentation and and what is displayed in frontend, there is no option for heat/cool that is accepted? happy to do more config changes and feed back, it may help with my understanding of how it should work. Thanks for the great work you all do on this its awesome!!!

[spattinson]

I'll do some more investigation and open a different ticket if needs be that more accurately describes issue.
