I'm not sure I understand the screenshots. Is the temperature just jumps around? Could you please explain this a bit?

[jlokos]

@kovapatrik It seems like the base (min and max) temperatures are off. Since i'm seeing numbers like 186. It should be set in Fahrenheit with a minimum of 60f and max of 86f. I cannot set temperature via Siri as well so if I say 'Set AC to 70' the Home Bridge logs just show the the device getting a call to turn on not to set temperature. Let me know if you need anything additional.

[kovapatrik]

could you please turn on debug mode in your Homebridge instance and send me the logs when you change the temperature?

this happens for me as well when the temperature in apple home is fahrenheit. Celsius works fine

this fixes it for me:

I might need to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit (and vice versa) when the Fahrenheit setting is toggled. I will let you know when I publish a new beta version which includes the conversion.

[den1k]

thank you!

[kovapatrik]

I've done some research and it turned out that HomeKit uses Celsius everywhere, so Fahrenheit is just a visual thing in the Home app. I also switched my iPhone's temperature unit to Fahrenheit and it worked without any issues. I've used the latest published beta though, could you please try this with that version?

[jlokos]

My issues seem to be resolved with the latest updates! Thank you very much! One note - I do not see the Dry Mode switch even though I enabled that option to be created with the accessory. All else works perfect

[kovapatrik]

Glad to hear it's resolved now!

Hm, weird. Could you please try removing it from the cache of Homebridge? Maybe it will solve it.

[kovapatrik]

Any news on this one?

[den1k]

yes works! thanks!

[kovapatrik]

Great, I will close this then, feel free to open it again or create a new one if it happens again!
