Climate: Radio thermostat CT80 partially working

Configuration
1

Hello!

I’ve got a CT80 Radio Thermostat which is supported by the component but my version (V2.34T) is not listed on the compatible version of the component.
But since home assistant update the component loads!

On the front end it shows settings, graph window etc.
The operation function (Heat cool etc), fan mode (on, circulate, auto) settings now work from HA to the thermostat!

However, the component says idle (by the graph), has no temperature readings.
The away switch does nothing and I cant change any temperatures on the component.

In logs, I get only two errors.

Logs:

“Home (192.168.1.123) was busy (invalid value returned)”
components/climate/radiotherm.py (ERROR)

“Update of climate.home is taking over 10 seconds”
util/async_.py (WARNING)

This appears to be progress as since before the update nothing appeared front end and there were several component python errors.

Any ideas how to start fault finding?

Best,

Jim

So it turns out. After manually requesting data from the CT80 thermostat using command line sensors.
The two errors I get above are replicated. So I guess the HA component DOES work with my version of the CT80. However. The command line TIMEOUT is too short (10 sec) and needs at least 15 seconds for the thermostat to send the data the command line or component needs.
Using terminal, the CT80 takes about that long to report…

How do you extend the timeout for a query?
This appears to be a rather simple fix, but doubt it will be in real life.
