heat pump not visible as hassio entity about panasonic_ac

[djbulsink]

Hi @simonunzio,

I don't have a heat pump myself, so I can't reproduce the error. The setting for the air swing left-right is not know by the integration, according to the logs. I like to add the setting, but I dont know what the description should be. Can you tell me what is shown in the comfort app for "Air swing".

Cheers DJBulsink

I have a heat pump too, which supports the air swing setting both horizontally and vertically. It's been working flawlessly with your integration! Thanks for your hard work.
Here is a screenshot of how the air swing setting looks inside the Comfort Cloud app:

This probably isn't very helpful, so here is some data from pcomfortcloud:

Please tell me if you need more information - I could for instance do a "pcomfortcloud get 1" for each swing setting both horizontally and vertically if that would be helpful.

Hi @simonunzio @arnefm ,

I've created a quick fix for this problem. Can you test it. By using this file in the custom component: https://github.com/djbulsink/panasonic_ac/blob/fix/heat-pump/custom_components/panasonic_ac/climate.py .

In the future I hope to implement the horizontal airswing. Not sure how to do this because of the limit methods home assistant support for climate devices: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/entity_climate/#set-swing-mode

DJ.

[nimikko]

Not sure if this help but there is similar discussion going on another climate device.

[djbulsink]

@joha-git Thanks for the hint. I implemented it now the same way. I don't have a device that's swings horizontal, so I'm not able to test it.

I still don't know what causes the 'ValueError: 5 is not a valid AirSwingLR' is some cases. Probably the class AirSwingLR is not complete.

[nimikko]

Well i got the same problems when i tried to test the horizontal swing. My guess at the moment is that the AirSwingLR is not correct as for example when i turn the swing to left it says right on home assistant and I get the ValueError: 5 when it is either on the most right position or the second most right position, but i do try to debug it more later.

[nimikko]

I went trough all the horizontal swing settings and commented on the pcomfort cloud. As for me there was some differences on the comfort cloud and AirSwingLR class. On my unit I got these results.

class AirSwingLR(Enum):
Auto = -1
Left = 1
LeftMid = 5
Mid = 2
RightMid = 4
Right = 0

I got same issue, any fix for this yet ?

[shyne99]

I think that this issue comes from the underlying python package that this integration is relying on.

Haven't tested it but there is a ongoing pull request pending : lostfields/python-panasonic-comfort-cloud#24
