Platform: climate_template -> hvac_mode issue

Configuration

1

Hi there, I’m Dennis, using HA for a couple of weeks now, so pretty a newbee. Forum searches helped me a lot to get my Instance working as I want it - but now I’m stuck.

I got climate_template working - almost. When choosing the hvac_mode, selection of modes works fine, only mode “off” is not working. As far as I tested it, the script is not invoked when choosing “off”. Any help apreciated.

It looks like you are running a climate.turn_on service call after the mode select “off” service call to the remote. If it is needed for other modes to function properly you should include a condition so it is not run following an “off” mode call.

set_schlafzimmer_klimaanlage_mode:
  sequence:
  - service: remote.send_command
    metadata: {}
    data:
      device: Mitsubishi_Climate
      command: |
        {% set source_ent = 'input_text.schlafzimmer_klimaanlage_' ~ hvac_mode | slugify %}
        {{ states(source_ent) }}
    target:
      entity_id: remote.universal_remote_1
  - condition: template
    value_template: "{{ hvac_mode != 'off' }}"
  - service: climate.turn_on
    metadata: {}
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: climate.schlafzimmer_klimaanlage

It is a fragment from testing. If it is there, beofre or after the remote.send_command is not changing anything
