Clima automation

Hi can anyone help me understand why automation doesn’t work …

this is my automations script:

alias: CLIMA IN USCITA
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - entity_id: alarm_control_panel.allarme_casa
    from: disarmed
    platform: state
    to: armed_home
  condition: []
  action:
  - data:
      entity_id: climate.soggiorno
      hvac_mode: Heat
    service: climate.set_aux_heat

in the register see below:

Error while executing automation automation.clima_in_out. Invalid data for call_service at pos 1: extra keys not allowed @ data [‘hvac_mode’]

Please see the stick post that - amongst other things - explains how to correctly format your post. If you don’t do that then it is much harder to help you.

Did you try checking the documentation? There is no such option for that service call, as the error tells you.

I try this but not work:

  alias: CLIMA IN USCITA
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - entity_id: alarm_control_panel.allarme_casa
    from: disarmed
    platform: state
    to: armed_home
  condition: []
  action:
    - service: climate.set_aux_heat
      data:
        entity_id: climate.soggiorno
        aux_heat: true

What does not work mean?

Does your AC system support aux_heat?

For example, the source of heat in my home is a gas furnace. There is no auxiliary (secondary) source of heat. The furnace is controlled by an entity called climate.thermostat. If I use the Services page to call the climate.set_aux_heat service, nothing happens (i.e. the furnace does not start). This is to be expected because my furnace doesn’t support the concept of a secondary (auxiliary) source of heat.

Where is this service menu?

@123 yes found, but I try but the heat funcion not work…

Then it probably means you can’t use aux_heat to activate your AC system’s heat.

Which platform is your climate integration using? The documentation for this platform may explain how to control it.

For my AC I have indtalled this script

SebuZet/samsungrac/blob/master/README.md

# Climate_IP - IP based climate device for Home Assistant
Implementation of ClimateDevice for controlling IP based AC units.
This component is able to work with any AC unit which can be controlled with REST API.
At this moment it is configured to work with:
* Samsung AC units available at port 8888 (new generation, REST API)
* Samsung AC units available at port 2878 (old generation, socket communication)
* Samsung MIM-H03 controller (REST API, port 8888)

Support for any unit working with REST API can be easily added via YAML configuration file.

## Installation
1. Download all files from repo to newly created folder
2. move folder custom_components/climate_ip to your <ha_configuration_folder>
3. In __configuration.yaml__ file add section:
    * For new generation units (REST API, port 8888)
        ```
        - platform: climate_ip
          config_file: 'samsungrac.yaml'
          ip_address: 'device_ip'
          token: 'token'

If you check the Default Functionality section you’ll see it does not mention aux_heat. It says it can set four things:

turn device on/off
select fan mode
select swing mode
select target temperatures (min, max and target)

Ok, this is the problem.
