Eco preset / quiet mode swapped

[flybrys]

My unit (CS-RZ25WKRW) has a quiet mode for fan speed as well as an eco function

Setting the eco mode in the panasonic app turns on the eco light however setting it in this integration turns on quiet mode for the fan. I don't seem to have any other options to turn on Eco mode. Is this an known issue or something that can be added? I'm using the CZ-TACG1 adaptor if it is related to that.

Hi @brywithawhy, I think I might be able to expose the eco preset mode. One thing you could try is calling climate.set_preset_mode with eco and see if it does anything.

Hi @sockless-coding Calling the service sets quiet mode on the unit, but eco is reported in the integration. Same as doing it via the lovelace card

I have a similar issue:

my units CS-X35ZKEW-H feature a "quiet mode". However in order to engage it via this integration I have to set preset to "Eco mode"

This is an old bug/sin... fixing it would introduce a breaking change... the HA built-in PRESET_ECO was used for Quiet from day 1

Ok i see, personally I would be fine with a breaking change but I totally get it that it might not be worth it for many

@Kugelfang666 there should now be a switch to toggle the eco navi feature

Thanks for putting effort into this. I just updated to 1.0.51 but I don’t see that button, am I looking at the right spot?

It should be a separate switch

It's been a while since I raised this and can't quite remember what the result was, but I ended up using an esp32 instead of the cz-tacg device to control it all without the comfort cloud and the functionality matches that of the remote control

this setting did not show up for any of my devices after updating. but my devices do NOT feature the Eco mode but do Feature the QUIET mode.

I've added a new configuration option (in the next release) that should be default True for new installations and False for existing ones. That switches to the panasonic naming of presets:

I can confirm this is now working for me! Thanks a lot for putting the effort into this, much apprechiated!
