How do I know which features are supported? #235

Closed parautenbach closed 3 weeks ago

parautenbach commented 3 weeks ago

I just upgraded both HA and this integration to 2024.9.1.

I had the filter alert entities available before, but now they're unavailable. I'm assuming my ACs don't support this (same with the power sensors, but I already have my own, so that's ok). Was it available by mistake before?

How would I know what features are available? Is there some place one can check? I suppose I can grab a debug log and decipher the flags, but I was wondering if there's an easier way.

Yes in 2024.7.6 I made it so the filter sensor is only displayed if the device claims support for it.

Right now a debug log is the best option. The capabilities will be printed out in plain text, at least you won't have to manually decipher the bits.

I'll consider this a feature request to implement the "diagnostic" platform, where I can expose details of the device.

Thanks!

That would be awesome.
