Feature request - fan mode #25

Open AndersEid opened 8 months ago

AndersEid commented 8 months ago

Hello! :-) Thank you for making this Homey-app!

I was wondering if it was possible to add «fan mode» to the selection of temperature modes in the app?

As many other Norwegians I use my heat pump as a fan to circulate the air when lighting a fire in the fireplace. It is a very good way of distributing the air around the house.

I know Sensibo Air can give my heat pump a signal for fan mode, please see the attached screenshot of the Sensibo app. I don’t have the expertise as you do though, so I don’t know if it is possible.

To have the opportunity of fan mode would be greatly appreciated.

Please reach out if you decide it is a feature that you would like to try implementing, or if I can help you with anything.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have been thinking of that too, however this is a limitation from Athom on the Homey SDK. The SDK does not support dynamic pickers and as there are such a wide range of different ACs that may have different modes on the picker list, this will be difficult to accomplish.

There is however flow cards that can still set the fan mode also. Unfortunately the Homey UI is limited.

There is a pending Homey SDK issue that eventually would bring the option to implement this. https://github.com/athombv/homey-apps-sdk-issues/issues/246
