Exposing built-in Summerhouse mode
Hi, Thank you for this great integration. I have a unit CS-HZ25UKE, which has a "summer house mode". This essentially allows to have low temperature maintained in summerhouses to avoid mold/frost during the winter.
There are two summer house mode selected under "device list":
"+8-15°C HEAT" allows to choose any target temperature between + 8 and +15°C. Forces fan mode automatically as "HIGH". "+8 or 10°C HEAT" allows to choose any target temperature between + 8 or+10°C. Forces fan mode automatically as "HIGH". I do no know the point of the second one, and the first one is the only one that makes sense. See Screenshots of the app attached.
Would it be possible to expose this mode as part of the integration and have it available as an operation mode?
Note: It is possible to "imitate" this by calling the services "climate.set_temperature" to 8 and "climate.set_hvac_mode" to "heat" and climate.set_fan_mode to "high" which is what I do as part of an automation when temperature inside get too low.
@Nordicfastware Hi, the summer house mode does not seem to be a real "mode" instead triggered by setting the temperature below 16C. There was a similar request for this on the library I'm using for the ha-component, https://github.com/lostfields/python-panasonic-comfort-cloud/issues/19
Ok noted thanks. granted that it can be triggered with service calls, but it would have been neat. Nice to have instead of must have indeed.
I have the same request :) My Panasonic is located in my summer house. Even so the Sommerhouse mode is not a need to have, it would be nice to have - to save some money.
If the "mode" is triggered by the temperature - could you change the GUI to allow setting the temperature as low as 8C?
Yes, same issue and request. Could it be as easy as allowing temp settings all the way down to 8C?
