Unable to switch off AC by scene

[sweetw0r]

It’s working fine via a switch but if that same switch is part of any scene it doesn’t switch. Two HEXs being sent. First "off", second "heat"

I think I might messed up the accessory config...

[cubilon]

"turnOnWhenOff":true, goes on the main part of the accessory definition. "homebridgeDirectory" is no longer needed.

[sweetw0r]

Updated the config and issue description. Although it didn't solve it. Off by a scene send 'off' and right after it 'heat' HEX

[cubilon]

I think it's something related with

"defaultHeatTemperature":32 "replaceAutoMode":"heat"

try removing them, just for a test.

[sweetw0r]

Removing those gave an AssertionError when turning on:

Turning off doesn't have errors but the bug is still there.

I moved slider in the scene setting but left AC in mode "off" and got that same AssertionError:

And I have realized it sends off HEX first and then it tries to set a temperature of off AC to whatever is on that slider for some unknown reason. How to disable that? Am I the only one who is experiencing this with a scene?

[sweetw0r]

I ran into this because I had "off" mode and 90℉ slider level in the scene setting which is correlated to "temperature32" in my config and "defaultHeatTemperature":32 A workaround for this would be to lower slider to 89℉ in the scene setting and not having a "temperature31" HEX configured and get rid off "defaultHeatTemperature":32 That way it will keep throwing an AssertionError but the AC will stay off!

[cubilon]

I really am out of options. just @lprhodes can help, I think.

[kiwi-cam]

I realise this is old, but I've just had the same issue. Fortunately, I was able to reverse recent changes and work out when it happened. My recent change was removing this line from my AC's config: "ignoreTemperatureWhenOff": true

I've just put this line back in my config.json, and it appears to be working now.

[dudusandi]

I have the same problem

[kuba1975]

I had the same issue - apparently this cannot be done on Home app. However you can setup the scene with OFF command by using 3rd party apps - such as EVE. It's free, it does not want you to set up another account - it just uses your current HomeKit environment. Hope it helps!

[kalleboo]

@kiwi-cam Thanks, that option fixed the issue for me!

[dvcrn]

I have the same issue. @kiwi-cam's solution worked for me as well

This works perfectly for me!! Thank you so much, been wanting to do this for the longest time!!
