Modified Thermostats #30

Closed michaelklatsky closed 2 years ago

michaelklatsky commented 2 years ago

Is is possible to create a modified thermostat that is cooling only, for HVAC devices that do not have heating functions?

jvmahon commented 2 years ago

Probably. It will depend on the thermostat driver. Can you show an image of the thermostat device's web page -- there should be an attribute "supportedThermostatModes" - I need to see what that says.

Sorry, not sure when I can get to this. I note that the first problem here is your thermostat driver. If it is a cool only thermostat, it should say "supportedThermostatModes: [cool]"

You might reach out to whoever is providing that driver for an update on that point. That won't address the plugin supporting cool-only, but I would need that fixed as a starting point so that the plugin knows the capabilities of the thermostat.

No response so closing this.
