8 months ago Hi @tomwaldnz This is a custom component, which is not maintained by the HA core project. Please report your issue to the maintainer or in the source repository of this custom component. Thx 👍

8 months ago Hi @mib1185 . I know this symptom is a custom component, but if that custom component has been working for a couple of years and breaks when the core changes, and it works from the web GUI but not from an automation, my guess was it was a core problem rather than a component problem.

8 months ago Things may change in HA core, which custom component developers needs to take care about it. on every release notes, there is a special section for these changes, further there is a developer blog to inform about relevant changes early.

8 months ago Thanks @mib1185 :) I had a look at the change, nothing seems relevant. I'll see if I can get the developer to look at it, otherwise I guess I learn some more python and try to work it out.

8 months ago For anyone else who has this issue, there's a command fan.set_percentage which works. I'd never found it before, because in the GUI the caption is "set speed", which is quite different.
- service: fan.set_percentage
target:
entity_id: fan.damper_living
data:
percentage: 50
The problem
I updated from HA 2023.11.3 to HA 2023.12.3 today. This caused a problem with the custom Airtouch 4 integration that I've been using with no problems for around two years. Airtouch4 is an air conditioning system that lets you set temperatures in different rooms, using dampers, one for each room / zone. Airtouch has two modes, ITC (auto damper control based on temperature setting) and Damper (manual damper control). While I can control everything fine manually with the Simple Thermostat control, automations can't change the damper percentage open.
Using the "simple thermostat" plugin everything works as it always has when I use the web interface. I can turn the Airtouch system on and off, change temperatures, change the individual rooms between ITC (automatic temperature control) and Damper (adjust damper percentage manually), change the damper percentage - everything works as expected.
When I use automations I can do most things, but changing the fan / damper percentage open no longer works. I use this a LOT to stop things like rooms overheating. I've put an example automation below, in the comments with # representing a comment, but the core issue is this doesn't work.
When I rolled back from 2023.12.3 to 2023.11.3 this problem went away, everything started working perfectly again.
I've turned logs for the plugin to debug, and logs for home assistant core to info, and there are no issues being raised there. No errors happen when I run the automation, it just doesn't work any more.
