Originally posted by **2fst4u** June 16, 2024 Hi, so far this is awesome, it's just what I'm looking for. I'm a bit confused about how the thermostat behaves when using it with another climate entity (in my case a heat pump). When I turn off the versatile thermostat, my heat pump also turns off which I would expect. When I turn on the versatile thermostat, my heat pump turns on too. Great! But when both are off and I go to turn on the heat pump manually, either in home assistant, or from its own app, or with the physical remote, then the versatile thermostat also turns on and starts interfering with the settings. Is there any way to prevent this? If the heat pump is manually turned on I'd like the versatile thermostat to remain off so that the manual settings can be used. The reason for this is not everyone in my household has the need or desire to use home assistant to control the settings and if they manually turn on the heat pump then they'd prefer to just have that manual setting remain what it is set to. Is this possible at all?

I've made some tests yesterday and I can confirm there is a bug. Thanks for your report @2fst4u !

No problem it's good to know I wasn't going crazy!

If it helps at all, one minor correction: when changing the underlying climate temperature, vtherm does actually go into manual mode. It just doesn't follow the temperature set is all.
