I have a heatpump with 3 heating modes. heating | aux heating | em heating
When I look at my thermostat in ZaveJsUI, I can see one of those 3 modes being reported.
However, When I ask for the state in a script or template I only receive Heating no matter what the type of heating is being used. I’d like to track how often I’m using aux heating vs regular heating. Is there a way to do this?
Here what the thermostat is reporting in Developer Tools > States
I don’t believe that is the case here. That value only changes if I manually put the heatpump in emergency mode. It doesn’t change when the system detects it needs to supplement the heatpump with the auxillary source.
edit
A better way to describe that would be:
preset_modes:
- none // 'auto' set on thermostat
- Auxiliary // `emergency mode` set
- Furnace // `heat` set
I’m sorry, I’m not being clear. Home assistant does appear to support 2-66-0, but it groups all heating modes under ‘heating’ instead of reporting them individually. Is this how it should work or is there something I can change to make it more granular?
I just looked up command class 66 and it is supported, it translates into the hvac_action attribute. There is no way to change this list manually, what you get is what you get.
