Central mode "Stopped" ignored #582

Closed tibsys closed 5 days ago

tibsys commented 4 weeks ago

My setup uses a central, I have the device and different heating devices configured with thermostat_over_climate. All the heating devices are configured to use the central (all the attributes are checked in the control panel of the devices).

When I set the Central Mode to Stopped I expect the boiler to stop. But it is not the case, it continues to work : the switch state is still on and the Central boilersensor is also on.

I suspect this feature does not work as expected, the plugin though is absolutely amazing.

Please give me more informations (VTherm attributes at least) and respect the template of issue. Central Mode set to Stopped doesn't stop the boiler directly but stops the heater. If correclty configured this should lead to the stop of the boiler.

Check (or post) the configuration of the central Vtherm in which you have the boiler commands. Check that all VTherm are stopped when you click on Central mode / Stopped. Check that independently, of the central mode, when each VTherm is turned of, the central boiler is turned off. Check the number of VTherm seen as On (you have an entity for that in the central configuration device)

Thank you for your answer. Obviously I misunderstood the role of the Central Mode. What I want is the ability to totally disable the VTherm and the central boiler in one click, and immediately stop the heating. I think I can achieve that by using a scene or a virtual switch instead. Maybe I'll try it this way. Regards

Central mode stop should stop all VTherm that are configured to be controlled by central. You don't need a scene or an automation. It is made for this.

And if your central boiler is controlled by the number of VTherm running, it should be turn off by VTherm automatically. Normally you have nothing to do.

Hello, I close this issue because it seems to be stale. Reopen if needed.
