[Feature Request] Setting modes of Air Conditioner

[piokaczo]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. After adding Air Conditioners to Homebridge i have no ability to set its mode or desired temperature. Currently they are just read only and I can see only current temperature, humidity and presence (I have Samsung WindFree Elite model for 2020)

Describe the solution you'd like It would be great to make changes other than turning on and off. I'd like to set:

• desired temperature
• desired mode (at least cool/warm)
• other modes if possible (not essential though)

Additional context This is homebridge log when starting up (truncated for one of my devices):

I have the same issue and it's not possible to add the WindFree AC as thermostat or Fan to set the temperature.

Yes. It is shown as a switch.

Dear All,

I would like to highly support this enhancement request as I've got Samsung Windfree AC installed recently :-) Right now I can only turn it off and on in a "classic" mode and read humidity and temperature values. Possibility to set desired temperature and turn the AC on in the "Wind free" mode would be fantastic.

Should you require any additional support for testing / troubleshooting please let me know and I'll do my best to help, although I am not an "advanced" user.

I have made a quick and dirty fix to add the temperature settings for the AC to Homekit. Just change the fowling in the file “ST_ServiceTypes.js”

Replace this line:

new ServiceTest("thermostat", accessory => (accessory.hasCapability('Thermostat') || accessory.hasCapability('Thermostat Operating State') || accessory.hasAttribute('thermostatOperatingState'))),

with this one new ServiceTest("thermostat", accessory => (accessory.hasCapability('Thermostat') || accessory.hasCapability('Thermostat Operating State') || accessory.hasCapability('custom.thermostatSetpointControl') || accessory.hasAttribute('thermostatOperatingState'))),

restart Homebridge and then you should have a thermostat control for your Samsung AC in Homekit

This change works great, I am able to set the temperature just fine this way :)

Tom2Drake ... where do I find that file? I run homebridge in Docker.

Thanx, Mitcho

new ServiceTest("thermostat", accessory => (accessory.hasCapability('Thermostat') || accessory.hasCapability('Thermostat Operating State') || accessory.hasCapability('custom.thermostatSetpointControl') || accessory.hasAttribute('thermostatOperatingState'))),

This worked beautifully. Can this please be added to the next version of the plugin? Also is there a quick way to add a switch for the AI and WindFree options?

Thank you for this! As MB-Jan comments, is there a way to create a switch for Windfree? Additionally, I don't know if it happens to you, but my humidity indicator always shows 0%.

The system does not allow me to save the updated file. How can I do it?
