hvac_action missing.
Other climate entities in home-assistant report the current mode/action - in addition to hvac_mode. This is apparent in the climate entity history graph, where the orange fill occurs only when there is some heating happening. The graph for pymelcloud climate entity however displays a constant fill whenever the hvac_mode is heating regardless if any heating is happening. I also run mitsubishi2mqtt alongside pymelcloud, and as you can see from the following graph, the heat pump actually reports the current action. The graphs for pymelcloud and mitsubishi2mqtt are superimposed.
The same applies for other hvac_modes / hvac_actions than heating; dry, cool, heat_cool. I haven't checked if they show up similarly in the chart, but the attributes do change accordingly. So what's missing is the hvac_action
attribute.
Maybe melcloud doesn't expose the current action, only the mode?
