HVAC Status #691

Closed josephny closed 4 months ago

josephny commented 4 months ago

I use an LG ducted heat pump with air handler system (several of them) and it would be very useful to know the current status of what the heat pump is doing.

For example, the system has modes such as HEAT, COOL, FAN, AUTO, OFF.

But, it would be nice to know if the system is being called to make heat or cool or air -- and is doing so.

That is, for example, if the mode is HEAT, and the setpoint is above the room temperature, the heat pump should be making heat. It would be helpful to track that.

Thank you.

This information in HA is called hvac action and is not available by LG Api, so cannot be implemented.

Thank you. Seems odd to me that they would not include it.

I check again this because I understand that having the current action should be interesting, but LG AC device do not provide this information in the payload. I prefer to respect Home Assistant best practice that recommended to not add this information just as mirror of current HVAC mode (and by the way should be a problem determinate the action for device that support auto mode) I close this FR for now.
