[Issue]: climate.altherma_room_temperature - missing hvac_action:

[riksmithuk]

Daikin Altherma 3M - EDLA16DA3V37 Integration "version": "4.1.14"

hvac_action is missing. please can we have the operation mode passed as the hvac_action?

The device then appears to confuse the hvac_action = State (which makes the HA representation assume the heating is always on?)

for the device: climate.altherma_room_temperature the hvac_action: should be based on whether the heat pump is actively heating or idle.

currently, it appears to be based upon the current HVAC mode

as you can see in the below - the temperature (target) is well below the current_temperature. the device is not running. hvac_action is missing.

but the state = heat

State: heat

hvac_modes:
  - "off"
  - heat
min_temp: 16
max_temp: 26
target_temp_step: 0.5
preset_modes:
  - away
  - none
current_temperature: 21.6
temperature: 18
preset_mode: none
friendly_name: Altherma Room Temperature
supported_features: 401

This image shows the thermostat device over time - the orange shading indicates the state over time, where 'heating' is shaded orange. with a 3rd party source (ESP Altherma) indicating whether the device is "Heating" or idle (fan only). This shows that the state over time is not reflecting the operation of the pump, but just the high level whether the heat pump mode is to heat or not

There is no data exported from Daikin whether the device is actively heating, cooling, or idle, that is why hvac_action is not provided as data.

I added hvac_action to issue #46, hopefully Daikin will provide this through their cloud API

Did they changed this? Before we always can see the actual hvac Status. That is a really shit the hvac is showing off when te climate is on. So I can't put it anymore off from the climate hvac control.

It is heating And showing this

The second image, which sensor is that, why is it not available? What does the onecta app show?

this is the hvac mode history. i select heating and then it turned to heating and after 2 seconds it switched back to off. The hvac is showing off, but it is heating. The strange thing is that my mushroom card is showing the heating status...

[jwillemsen]

Which mushroom card? The fact that it is unavailable is strange, do you have a stable wifi connection to the device? What does the onecta app show? At the moment the device is heating please download and attach the integration diagnostics here

[Coketrd]

the connecta app is showing heating. yes my wifi is stable. I did now the updates the connecta app showing and restart HA. And now its showing the hvac mode correctly again.

thanks for youre fast response.
