water heater will turn on but not off #48

I was just testing the latest release. It looks like Operational mode is now being used in two ways. One is the current status, so off or gas is whether or not it's actually heater the water and is constantly going through state changes. Most of the time it's sitting in the off state.

The second is unit on/off except Off isn't turning the unit off. Selecting On from the Operation drop down will turn the unit on though.

You are correct in the state of the water heater. The most common state will be off since it is mainly not running unless recirculation is happening or you are requesting water and then it will switch to gas. The operation mode is essentially the state. I will double check and see about implementing an idle state when it is on and not using hot water.

I have noticed the drop-down is a little odd sometimes myself and I think implementing the idle state might help this drop-down function better. I know the service water_heater.set_operation_mode with the water heater as the entity and a mode of off seems to work well. You can also do this with turning it on by changing the mode to on. I wish they would implement a switch for directly turning it on and off. May just abandon the operation mode and do the switch myself.

Do you mean Rinnai creating an on/off switch? There definitely is one. I've used it in the app and its state is shown separately from the operational state.

Sorry I should of been clearer. I mean the way HA has implemented the water heater. I wish it had a switch like it does for away mode at the bottom, but for on/off.
