Ever since the new tile climate card was released, I’ve had this issue. When my Ecobee thermostats are set to a preset mode and I manually change the temperature, I always get the error: “Preset mode is not valid. Valid preset modes are: home, away, sleep, away_indefinitely.”
I’ve tried manually adding “temp,” (this is what developer tools show the preset mode set at when the temp is changed manually) “none,” and even “null” to the card configuration to stop the error, but nothing has worked.
I’ve searched a lot, and I believe I have also reported the issue, but it still persists. Anyone know how to stop the error?
Well, the error says that these are the only valid options for preset, I suggest you only change preset to one of
home, away, sleep, away_indefinitely
Noone can help much more that that, you are not sharing any code or screenshots so we don’t know what you are actually doing / seeing. Itt would be odd to set the preset to temp or none, though.
Maybe re-read the Docs?
I don’t know what is causing the error - the tile card or the ecobee integration. As far as I know, there is no ecobee preset mode applicable when you manually override the temperature. From what I have found in my research, the “temp” preset shown in dev tools is an HA thing, not ecobee’s.
I suspect that the card is either sending an invalid preset to ecobee (e.g. temp) when the temperature is manually changed or when ecobee removes the preset mode, the card doesn’t see it as a valid option.
I didn’t share the card yaml simply because I configured it via the UI. The attempts at adding a custom preset were done in yaml but the card ignored them (nothing changed other than the card UI showing them).
In essence, there is no ecobee preset for when you set a temperature manually (and this seems logical to me) but HA complains every single time. It has become one of those errors I ignore for months until I check to see if it was resolved.
Note: the snapshot happens to also show another bug (?)… The sleep preset mode has a temperature of 24.0C however when presets “load” they show close but off numbers. I once called ecobee and they did something to my account that fixed it only temporarily. I don’t know whether the issue is on their end or something HA is doing and pumping incorrect data back on their system. They sent me a snapshot of a table that indeed had these weird values in it but did not tell me where the issue was.
The downstairs thermostat is the one I manually set to 24C, which causes the error also shown.
