Tado Issues with new features - Fan

[03397]

The problem

Guys after the upgrade to the 2024.7.0 the tado features related with the fan are not 100% correct. For example my 2 Daikin A/C support 6 different fan modes + auto, I can see 6 different fan modes + auto inside the Tado application but inside Home Assistant I can see only low, medium, high, auto.

In addition when I turn off my A/Cs I am gettting an error message. This is happening because during turning off the A/C the fan turns to off

Hey - this new feature is almost perfect but it's missing some vertical swing options. Though I can now toggle swing on and off (so that it it constantly moving), it's not possible to set the fan to point in a specific direction.

Here's a screenshot from the Tado app showing what options are available as an example:

I'll look into it. Thanks for reporting.

@EtienneSOU, I have been looking into it, but I can't reproduce it whereas I don't have an AC of Tado. Do you mind bringing in some support? :)

[03397]

To shed more light on my issue if I turn off the AC using HVAC mode set to off I do not get the error message I do not know what is the difference of the off from the thermostat with this.

service: climate.set_hvac_mode
target:
  entity_id: climate.living_room
data:
  hvac_mode: "off"

If you're talking about the error message when turning off the AC, I have a PR waiting reviews.

Thanks @EtienneSOU Did you have time to investigate the other issue with the different fan modes missing?

[EtienneSOU]

Hello @03397 The climate component of Home assistant does not have as many options as Tado. That is why we are missing some fan modes. If we want to map every fan modes of tado, we’ll have to add some features to HA climate components and that could affect all AC users, not only Tado users.

[03397]

Hello @EtienneSOU and thanks for your input in this. I just wanted to let you know that there was a custom component in the past that was mapping correctly all the different fan modes low, low/medium, medium, medium/high, high and silence. This did not affect the HA climate components. How was this possible?

My issue here is that the low fan on HA is indeed low for my system but the remaining too are not. The medium in HA is the low/medium in Tado which is the 2 bars and the high in HA is the medium in Tado which is the 3 bars.
