Air Conditioner Behaving as a Switch

[roomonthethird]

Describe The Bug:

In previous versions of this plugin, I was able to get and control the temperature of the air conditioner connected via Alexa. Now I only have the ability to turn the air conditioner on and off.

To Reproduce:

Updated plugin to latest version (v2.2.0-alpha.2) Readded air conditioner Added to Homekit. Added as switch.

Expected behavior:

Ability to change temperature of air conditioner from Homekit.

Plugin Config:

Thanks for the report! Since I don't have a smart air conditioner, it's difficult to test it. Can you turn on debug logging and share some of the outputs between the BEGIN and END sections? Thanks!

[roomonthethird]

There were a lot of devices connected to Alexa so I just showed the first few. A lot of them old random things, not even sure how to delete them lol. Thank you for your help!

I just published v2.2.0-alpha.3. Please let me know if this addresses the issues. Thanks!

[roomonthethird]

It seems to be working great. Thank you so much for the update, I truly appreciate it!

[roomonthethird]

I think I closed this presumptively! The only funny thing I notice now that the On/Off function and the temp control are two separate functions. Before they were integrated as one, and when I shut it off via temp control, it fully powered off. Any ideas?

[joeyhage]

@roomonthethird Can you share a picture or video of what you mean?

[lgp1985]

I see it works now, but it's not accepting Celsius

Hi @roomonthethird, I'm sorry the air conditioner stopped working. ACs are not officially supported by this plugin but they did work as a happy coincidence because they were similar to thermostats. It seems that the changes made to Alexa in the last few months mean they no longer work similar to thermostats.

I do not have access to a smart AC so I am unable to support it unfortunately. If you would like to contribute to the project, I am happy to review any code.
