Switch symbol behavior for holiday mode #75

Closed Bucky2k closed 1 year ago

Bucky2k commented 1 year ago

Hi,

I oberserved a strange behavior of the holiday mode switch. If operated from HA, the switch is shown as a usual left/right slider. If it gets it's status from Heishamon, it changes to the flash / electricity symbol. Operating it again from HA, it shows the slider again.

Local problem of my installation?

It seems there exists a workaround, but I prefer of course to find the root cause. It's something around an unclear "assumed state" I guess:

Wurde unbekannt --> became unknown (few seconds after it showed correct status & symbol after changing mode on Aquarea)

Got it: Holiday Mode has three status values:

Holiday mode (0=off, 1=scheduled, 2=active)

Mode 2 / active is not properly captured

So the flash symbol only comes up, when the holiday mode becomes active at scheduled time

Good catch. We now need to find the proper entity to reflect this. My first idea is to split between entities:

I think this is adequate, as we cannot "force" state active anyway. So On/off as a slider and the three states just read only

I am on holiday until 04.01, so unfortunately I cannot test your PR commit

* one showing the holiday mode status (3 possible states)

* one switch to configure holiday mode

Hi. First of all, thank you very much for this custom component :-)

Could the same thing happen with defrost? I had a defrost sensor (TOP26) that I use to know when the pump goes into defrost mode. In this component I find a switch and no sensor.

Yes but it will turn on in defrost mode.. also it will be in history of that switch.. is it some problems with that?

Defrost switch works as expected on my side

You mean, this switch turns on when the pump goes into defrost mode. Beside that, you can force the pump to startt the defrost mode turning on the switch. Don't you?

yes, it's shows state and you can force set state.. If pump decides to defrost, so state of defrost will trigger switch on. And if you wan't force to defrost, you click on it.

Thanks @geduxas. No problem with that behaviour
