Frost Protection mode #40

Open swin66 opened 3 years ago

swin66 commented 3 years ago

I have a split type blanc series model and it has "Frost Protection" mode, any chance that could be implemented?

In the Midea android app, it can be enabled via a simple click on an icon, but if using the aircon remote control it's a bit of a faff.

Set mode to HEAT, set TEMP to 16, and then press "v" twice within one second.

It's the first time I'm trying it on my unit but I believe it stops the room it's in going below 8 degrees.

As an aside, whilst in Frost Protection mode the display in th UI does not show the correct values

BTW Great work so far!

This is an implication I would like to see too.

I have found an alternative that works great if others are interested. I gave up on the inbuilt FP mode as it doesn't seem to work well for me (when initiated thru remote or app) and I found a feature of HA that could replicate it - generic thermostat. It took a bit of digging but I now have a better solution that doesn't require me to remember to turn it on when it's needed. It's just on all of the time. I'll post config if it's wanted?

I've attached 3 pics of my config with various security-related items redacted. The main config shows the generic thermostat config, and not the name of the heater refers to a switch object and the target sensor refers to a sensor object. The switch has 2 options to link the a/c unit to the code that turns it on/off. The sensor allows us to get the current temperature from the a/c unit.

I've had it running for a week now and it's worked fine although this morning it's done something a little odd that I will need to look into.

I hope these help...
