Quick question: "mode" is it controllable? #182

Closed electricessence closed 11 months ago

electricessence commented 11 months ago

I have a hybrid system where it lets me change from heat-pump to gas heat. Can I control this through the API?

dragonflight commented 11 months ago

see issues #88, #166 (long reads for info only) and the wiki for making changes to attributes The attribute you want is heatsource and the values are {"system" (system control) | "odu only" (heat pump) | "idu only" (gas or electric strip heating)}

Ok great! Now at least I know it's possible. I'm seeing "gasonly" "hponly" and "off" as the values mode reports.

Follow up: This worked for me! Thank you!!!

I'm a bit surprised that those are the only values. I would expect there to be a value for system or auto. I have a heat pump/strip(electric)heat so I can't really help you, but others have reported a value of 'idu only' for gas. You can change the source in the thermostat and one of the choices is "system controlled" (at least on mine). You might want to see what it then reports in 'heatsource'

I take it all back. this is what I have: "heatsource" is exactly as you said. But "mode" which comes back from the status has various values like "hpheat" etc.

dragonflight commented 10 months ago

And now I see the confusion (I think).

There are several "mode"s The one returned in STATUS is what is currently happening. On mine I see hpheat, hpelectheat, hpcool. I don't know if there are others if the system has a humidifier, air exchanger or what have you. It is the current status and as such is read only. There is a "mode" in CONFIG that sets heat, cool, auto, fan only, off. In systems with multiple heat sources there is "heatsource" in CONFIG that allows you to force the system to use a particular heat source or allow the system to choose depending on various parameters in the system setup

Hope this helps
