VaneVerticalDirection split #62

Closed xophr closed 6 months ago

xophr commented 6 months ago

Would it be possible to add indepebdent "VaneVerticalDirection" into your melcloud integration? This would allow, as per the physical remote, to direct air from left/right vane to different vertical positions, eg upper/lower floor.

Despite Melcloud (app) seemingly not supporting this, I've seen some discussions of it eg here:

https://github.com/Black-Thunder/ioBroker.melcloud/issues/24

".. I've been observing the VaneVerticalDirection and VaneHorizontalDirection in the ListDevices endpoint directly to verify my assumptions."

The HA implementation also seems to allow for it: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/melcloud/

Have you already looked into this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I think this is not possible right now because original MelCloud app do not contain this possibility too.

The HA implementation is based on pymelcloud, and you might be correct. Although the vertical vane split is mentioned on the front page (previous screenshot), I can only find references to "split” under horizontal vane direction, when looking through eg ata_device.py.

Perhaps the original developer might be able to shed some light on this?

Thanks for looking into this nonetheless! (And for bringing support to homebridge, much appreciated.)
