Honeywell Away Mode

Configuration
1

Does the Honeywell thermostat have an away mode that works. When I set it to way the set temperature does not seem to change. I see there is a setting in the component page:

cool_away_temperature (Optional) (only for us region): Cooling setpoint when away mode is on. If omitted it defaults to 30.0 deg C.
heat_away_temperature (Optional) (only for us region): Heating setpoint when away mode is on. If omitted it defaults to 16.0 deg C.

However when I use this and set it to away nothing appears to change.

I know this is an old post, but I had the same issue. It was actually an error in the doc and the correct variables are “away_cool_temperature” and “away_heat_temperature”. I submitted a PR to have the docs updated.

I’m not sure if it’s just my setup but I’ve been using this solution for several months and its been working quite well.

Since the last update to HA this is not working anymore. Maybe the Honeywell update is to blame…?
