Would it be possible to update the Honeywell Thermostat component to support a device that is in “auto” mode in such a way that you could adjust both the heat and cool points from the UI? The current coding is setup to use the “heat” temperature unless the unit is in “cool” mode. I know that it would mean re-writing some of the component coding, but I have confirmed that the 0.41.0 version of somecomfort does return the correct values when passed by the component.
I am by no means a python coder, so this is simply a request for someone who is. The README file located in the somecomfort source code has all the correct strings that need to be passed to determine the correct unit state, plus the cool/heat setpoint temperatures when in auto mode. You can find the latest (0.5.0) somecomfort download at: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/somecomfort
Also, if someone is willing to work with me to figure this out, I’m willing to learn as we go.
