default_light_mode #2

Closed nagyrobi closed 4 years ago

nagyrobi commented 4 years ago

Please add an option to switch light "off" when the entire unit is "off", and "on", when the unit is in any other mode.

Reason: there's a big red standby LED lighting on the unit when switched off. This is annoying (especially during nights in a bedroom...). It can be turned off with light mode off. But this turns off the entire display too, when the unit is turned on.

If default_light_mode is set to off, the standby led and display is also off. A good trick would be: turn light mode to "off" when device is turned off, and back "on" when the unit is switched to heat, cool, dry etc.

This can be done with automation that switches the light to On or Off, when the AC is On or Off, using the additional service I made specifically for that case.

_tasmota_irhvac.setlight with payload of:

{light: "on", entity_id: clima.your_clima_entity_id}
