All a needed a good community support and a pinch of patience. @ghstudio, Thank you very much!
I can see my thermostat in HA no problem, but trying to control it never has worked. Are you guys able to control your units? I have both heating and AC in mine.
Moving around the temperature adjustment looks like it works, but the thermostat itself doesnāt adjust and after a few minutes HA rests the control back to where it was.
Iām able to control my temp settings from HA. Iām not sure what advice to give, other than try and see if you can set you temp settings from a Honeywell mobile app and if yes, does HA later pick up the change? Anything in your logs? Sometimes the Total Connect cloud sees too many requests from HA and ārate limitsā it such that HA can no longer send requests to the cloud for some period of time.
No worries, Iāve been stuck with this for a while so Iām not worried about it.
I actually looked at the Github for Honeywell in HA and it sounds like no one is really maintaining the integration. The original code writer suggests whoever picks it up does a full code re-write for the US version.
I had that issue once, I think in the code there is line with time limit, please go with the default I think it was 6000. I could be wrong but if you pull information too many time it stops responding, there is some sort of limit. Sorry, not much help on this anymore since i changed to a different brand.
Wondering - 3 1/2 years later - if you ever got this working, honeywell climate in Aux/Emergency Heat mode. Getting the same āhold_emheatā error.
Worked fine when in normal (heat pump) mode.
No luck. I can display the current status, but trying to change the set point still gives the same error message:
Failed to call service climate/set_temperature. 'Device' object has no attribute 'hold_emheat'
FWIW, I did a new stat recently. Apparently HA has something called Home Kit and it just magically showed up. If would try remarking out anything you have in yaml and reboot and see if it shows up
