Current heating action for climate devices

[swappie-d]

Hi all,

I noticed that the climate devices don't show their current HVAC action. Since I would like to have that in HA available I did some research and made a fork of the repo and did some changes to climate.py, fah_thermostat.py, const.py and added to test files for testing purposes. However this is my very first attempt at coding python so it's not working yet, I can't find where I forgot to add the current heating action output datapoint, so the state is correctly communicated from the SysAP to the freeathome custom component. Could someone have a look at this commit I made and help me with what I did wrong?

If I look at the monitor output I see a message from the SysAp to freeathome updating the value of the PID_HEATING_ACTIVE when using my changes.

BTW: how can I use the test py's? Maybe I can then solve it my self.

I made use of the ABB local API documentation and used that to read the correct output datapoints and pairingID's from the local api.

I have the same issue. Interestingly, the attribute temperature returns the target temperature, but it renders correctly in the UI. I feel that this integration does not comply with https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/climate/

{{ state_attr('climate.touch_panel', 'temperature') }} = null

For me this happens with both a Busch Jaeger thermostat and a touch panel.

@jheling We’re you able to have a look at this issue?

Hello, I don't have any heating devices in my system, so I hoped that another user with such a device would respond. I will try to take a look at it.

Can we provide you with data about the heating devices?

Entity None (<class 'custom_components.freeathome.climate.FreeAtHomeThermostat'>) implements HVACMode(s): heat_cool, off and therefore implicitly supports the turn_on/turn_off methods without setting the proper ClimateEntityFeature. Please report it to the author of the 'freeathome' custom integration

I just saw this in the log files: I'm having a look at this, but want to tackle the cover groups in #94 first.

I also would like to see the current HVAC action of free@home climate devices. Please let me know if I can help somehow.
