Describe the bug
trting to send mqtt commands, to activate / deactivate auto mode (both via autor:0 and via env temp, but nothing changes.

To Reproduce

Publish mqtt command :

either on HA :

or in mqttexplorer :

but nothing changes on faikin settings and autor stays here at 0.5 :

and also nothin in the status :

i've also tried using the method you gave here : #506 (comment)

bot no more effect.

Am i missing something ?

Several things I thing.

The control message with target is for remote control setting, you don't also set Faikin auto mode, it replaces the auto mode on the web interface. But you have to send those commands regularly (every few minutes at least), e.g. from some external temperature monitoring/control. You also have BLE, so the remote env would clash with that. Which do you want, BLE or a remote control env level?

autor is a setting so you need to send a setting/... not a command/.... auto0 and auto1 have no colons. You can, of course, simply change these settings via the web interface, which is usually a lot simpler.

hello, sorry, maybe i misunderstood the docs.

as its written to use a "control command"

ok the idea is to use BLE and the internal auto mode of the faikin witch gives very stable temperature and to trun it on from homeassistant through mqtt command as it seems not native in the homeassistant interface.

so it would be : setting/Faikin/control with {"autor": 0.0} to deactivate auto mode ?

Why not just set using web interface, way simpler. But yes.

[jsapede]

because everything is automated within homeassistant and online google calendar starts house preheating 24h before our arrival in holidays. nothing more to do than add a period of presence in the calendar and the house power up iteself
then all temeratures during staying time are automated through scheduler

moreover i have an interrogation about the "homeassistant climate" interface for faikin. Usually in HA climates, preset "home / eco / away ..." are for temperature levels, say 21 / 20 / 16 ... but in the Faikin climate presets are used for extra modes life "boost" or "eco" witch are only power related settings but not temperature ones. Why not keeping the usual HA climate consturction ?

[revk]

OK yes, try that
