hass-airtouch4-platform's Issues

Connection dropping regularly since AT4 update a couple of days ago

Good afternoon!

I'm having a lot of issues with the connection between HA and AT4 dropping out until I make a change to a temperature or mode.

After I make that change I see this in the logs:

2023-12-02 16:26:12.448 ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.polyaire.airtouch4] Connection error in receiver!

Followed by the usual messages about updating entities.

I know Wifi isn't the problem because it's turned off on the tablet and I'm using an ethernet dongle - which I ping test independently.

Current Console Version: 1.4.4
Current Main Module Version: 2.1.0.2

Please let me know if there is any additional information required to diagnose.

Constant deprecation in HA Core

Various constants used by airtouch4 have been deprecated

CURRENT_HVAC_IDLE
CURRENT_HVAC_FAN
SUPPORT_FAN_MODE
SUPPORT_TARGET_TEMPERATURE
SUPPORT_PRESET_MODE

No Set temp on unit 2

When Airtouch is controlling 2 units the temperature setpoint of the 2nd unit is missing

HA Reboot requires Integration disable/enable

After a reboot of home assistant the integration has an error stating it is unable to contact the AirTouch controller. Disabling and re-enabling the integration resolves the issue.

Have looked at the home assistant logs but nothing is posted in there to explain the issue

ignore this!

EDIT: Im an idiot and missed what I was after - found now!

Push subscription seems to expire after a quantity of hrs

I haven't been able to calculate the exact duration, but if no command is sent from HA to AT4 and everything is idle, after 10-24hrs I stop receiving ITC temperature updates.
As soon as I touch/adjust any parameter in HA, everything comes back to life again for another 10 or so hours.

I've yet to check if during a time HA is not receiving updates, if I make a change within AT4 things come back to life again.

Maybe we need a 6-hourly poll just to ensure things stay active?
[edit]
If the master 'AC' is turned on/off in HA, this does not trigger an update to the ITC states.
A change to a zone is required for updates to start flowing in again.

Room Thermostats all show as Cooling even when heating

I have Airtouch4 in home assistant then linked to HomeKit. Firstly, it works great thanks.

But the room thermostats in HomeKit all display 'Cooling to ..' when turned on. This occurs no matter the mode of the main thermostat. For example we now have heating running but rooms still read as cooling.

Is it possible to adjust this?

Thanks

Set HVAC mode doesn't work if target mode is already current mode

When trying to create automations I found that if you try to set the HVAC mode of an ITC to "off" when it is already "off" this can result in the ITC switching to auto.

Sensors not updated automatically when changes are made on wall controllers

Updated to version 1.3 (PUSH) which seems to work except that sensors aren't updating automatically when changes are made to target temperature or zone on/off state, either on the AirTouch 4 tablet or on ITC switches.

I can force updates to happen for all zones by using NodeRed to change the target temperature of a single zone by 0.1 degree. I've set NodeRed to do that every minute. Hopefully you can find some way of automating that in the integration?

Current Temperature as its own sensor

Problem Statement
When using something like Dwains dashboard the current temperature is not display while AC unit is set to off, and when it is on it will display the desired temp instead of the current temp

Possible Fix
Not entirely sure, but perhaps the below

• Move current_temperature attribute to its own sensor and make the attribute temperature
• on the itc sensor rename temperature to target_temperature
