Air conditioner not showing as thermostat in HomeKit

[siberianmidnight]

After applying the air conditioner control type as a thermostat in the plugin settings, the device is displayed as off in Homekit. When switching to auto mode via Homekit, the device is displayed as an air conditioner, not a thermostat, and is displayed again as off after a while.

This took to me nothing, please post debug log.

All is correct in the tail of debug log.

[siberianmidnight]

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, in the Homekit interface, the control mode remains the same as for the air conditioner.

[grzegorz914]

I don’t quit understanding what you’re mean, thermostat is same as heather/cooler, in heather cooler You have additionally Fan and Swing mode control and current heating/cooling state have more options. What Youn want to have more?

[siberianmidnight]

After some time, the device becomes unavailable. I am attaching a new log https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wk55b3yf0fqi6cxr1r2kx/melcloud_log_2.txt?rlkey=qetssf0ffoff7y29kza6ltp3b&st=wrip0jd0&dl=0

Previously in thermostat mode there was no option for "keep between" temperature, only "set to" option and that was a little more convenient for me. Example images:

try 3.3.12-beta and let me know, I have revert some changes regarding auto mode

[siberianmidnight]

It seems that the thermostat mode in HomeKit now works quite well on version 3.3.12-beta. Thanks a lot for the help and solution.
