Home Connect automation

Hello,

I would like to start my washing machine with the use of an Automation. I have a Siemens washing machine with Home Connect. It is possible to select a program, it is possible to select options like RPM and Temperature, but I can’t figure out how to set Idos1 / Idos2 on true or false.

In the image above, all actions work, except for the last one. This is were I try to set the IDos1Active to true, like the documentation is saying:

API Home connect

Since all the other options are working like the documentation is saying, I did not want to give up that easy. The only difference with this option in comparising to other options, is that this option value needs an boolean instead of an enum. Also, the option key is recognized, but the option value gives an error. So I tried all kind of option values like below:

true
TRUE
True
‘true’
1
LaundryCare.Washer.Option.IDos1Active.true
LaundryCare.Washer.BoolType.IDos1Active.true
LaundryCare.Washer.BooleanType.IDos1Active.true
LaundryCare.Washer.Boolean.IDos1Active.true

Does anyone have any options that I can try? It seems to me like i’m dumb and just not capable of setting a boolean to true.

Thanks in advance.

I’m guessing your idos entities are sensors (ie. can’t be changed) rather than a switch / button. I also use Home Connect Alt for my dishwasher, and to start it I use home_connect_alt.start_program - not sure if a washing machine is the same.
