Decrease temp in cooling mode via HA, increases on Madoka

[betonishard]

HI, first of all thank you so much for this. Also related to this: https://github.com/mduran80/pymadoka/issues/2

Since yesterday I have this madoka and like all of you immediately tried to hook it up to homeassistant. Actually it was smooth sailing, it worked at my first try with the latest home assistant on docker and built-in bluetooth of my server just by following the steps and ofcourse not to forget the addition dbus in docker-compose.

Now I have a couple of findings in which I hope someone can help me.

When I increase the temperature in homeassistant of the cooling by 1, the madoka shows the increase and it works. However when I decrease the temperature in homeassistant of the cooling by 1, the madoka INcreases instead of DEcreases. This means I can never lower the temperature.

I don’t have a separate temperature sensor, I just have 1 “climate.airconditioning_mac”. Is that correct?

Hopefully someone can help with the temperature set, because than it will be very useful to me.

Thank you in advance.

EDIT:

• I updated to the latest firmware with madoka app (1.8.0). On the app in cooling mode when decreasing temp it actually decreases on the madoka itself.
• repaired everything in HA, restarted and everything, still from homeassistant when I decrease the temp it increases on the madoka. When I increase it increases as expected and is correct. By the way if i directly decrease by 2 it still increases by 1.
• I noticed that when I do the same thing in heating mode, it works correct. So, it seems that decreasing temperature in cooling mode in homeassistant results in an increase on the madoka.
• WHen I use "set-set-point" on pymadoka, it expects two int's . One for heating and one for cooling. When I do 20 20. Heating will be 20 and cooling will always be a +1 (21)

I am a bit busy at the moment but I will have a look at it as soon as I can. It seems the bug must be in the pymadoka library. Thank you for all the information and the testing!

Probably unrelated with this because with homeassistant it works, when integrating it with homekit via homeassistant on/off is not working either. In homeassistant itself it works. Again, maybe worth mentioning, not to solve here most probably.

I am experiencing the exact same behavior and it is indeed related to https://github.com/mduran80/pymadoka/issues/2

As @mduran80 described, my unit also seems to ignore the cooling setpoint and just go with whatever the heating setpoint is set to, but with one caveat. Also as @betonishard is experiencing the cooling temperature is the heating setpoint + 1 degree.

I have modified these two functions in climate.py file as a temporary workaround, and it seems to be working fine:

@property                                                                 
    def target_temperature(self):                                             
        """Return the temperature we try to reach."""                         

        if self.controller.set_point.status is None:                                  
            return None                                                       

        value = None                                                                  

        if self.hvac_mode == HVAC_MODE_HEAT:                                  
            value = self.controller.set_point.status.heating_set_point        
        else:                                                                         
            value = self.controller.set_point.status.heating_set_point + 1            
        return value

@Thunkar Just made the same modifications in climate.py and it works for me.

Thanks!

@Thunkar I made the same modification to climate.py and lowering the temperature in cooling mode works... great!! 🦾

But with me its with an offset (-1) in cooling: 23°C in HA = 24°C on the controller.

I noticed that the offset I mentioned is because of a offset setting in the 'madoka assistant' app (android) under the 'afstandbediening' (translated: remote) settings. @mduran80 maybe this is an interesting fact to put into your README?

I put the setting on 2°C because in auto mode the thermostat bounced between heat and cool mode if it had an offset op 1°C.

The latest changes to climate.py still have this issue. The workaround from @Thunkar still works with sometimes the readback value being wrong.
