Sensibo error: "Use Sensibo Enable Climate React Service once to enable switch or the Sensibo app" [SOLVED]

Never mind, I got this working. One of my Sensibo devices was new and I hadn’t yet configured any Climate React settings on it. This makes the switch throw an error.

Original problem

I have six ACs controlled by Sensibo. I’m trying to write a script to turn off three of them when I go to bed. For each, this is a two stage process: turn off the Climate React and then change the AC’s HVAC mode to off.

It seems that no matter how I try this, the script aborts with an error:

Use Sensibo Enable Climate React Service once to enable switch or the Sensibo app

Here’s one attempt to perform each step individually. You can see I’ve tried to add 5 second gaps to rate-limit. Increasing to 10 seconds doesn’t help.

Here’s an attempt to do it in batch:

  - service: switch.turn_off
    metadata: {}
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id:
        - switch.lounge_room_climate_react
        - switch.family_room_climate_react
        - switch.study_climate_react
    enabled: false
  - service: climate.set_hvac_mode
    metadata: {}
    data:
      hvac_mode: "off"
    target:
      entity_id:
        - climate.lounge_room
        - climate.family_room
        - climate.study
