@Zotech I’ll try to explain, HA can be complex.
Home Assistant (HA) doesn’t natively know how to communicate with every piece of equipment around. Each device needs an “Integration”, which is a piece of software that lets HA communicate with that device. Integrations can be “built in”, or “custom”. Custom integrations need to be added to Home Assistant, either manually or using the Home Assistant Community Store (HACS). I don’t use HACS so I don’t know much about it.
Home Assistant comes with a built in Airtouch 4 integration, this one here. There’s also this custom integration on github, which is the one I use. I don’t know if this thread is about one integration in particular, both are mentioned. I think both integrations can be installed using the HACS - only one at a time - but I run Home Assistant on docker on a Raspberry Pi rather than on Home Assistant OS so I don’t really know how that works.
I think you’re using the built in HA Airtouch 4 integration. I don’t know much about that one because I haven’t used it for quite a while. I use the custom integration linked above, which works well. With that I can change damper, zones, etc while the system is turned off.
For some reason your integration / control looks to be giving you a power button against each zone, rather than turning the zone / damper on and off it’s turning the whole system on or off. To work out why we’d have to dig into the user interface widget you’re using. First, create another dashboard and widget to control HA to see if it works better. I use Simple Themostat, which I installed manually into HA.
Alternately, uninstall your current AT4 integration and try the other one. The main way to tell them apart is (I think) either the icon or the word “Push” in the title of the one I use. Try the other integration with the simple thermostat widget and you may have more luck.
This screenshot shows my main Airtouch4 dashboard. It looks fairly simple, but it gives me good control over temperatures, dampers, has an off timer (written in AppDaemon), and does everything I need. I used another dashboard I found as the starting code, then modified it fairly heavily. It doesn’t use a simple instance of simple thermostat, it uses, multiple so it’s laid out in a way that works quite well.
