No response if thermostat in Autoi mode - must be in Heat mode

[jensjakobandersen]

Describe the issue

IF the thermostat is set to AUTO mode, then the integration does work - i.e. does not change the temp of the thermostat.
If the thermostat is set to HEAT mode, then the integration works.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

2014-12-3

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

No response

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant OS

Diagnostics information

No response

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

No response

Additional information

Both when set to HEAT asa well as AUTO, the temp change done from HA is visible in ALLY APP.
BUt only when thermostat is set to HEAT (aka manual mode in the APP), then does the change on the screens also actually change the status of the thermostats.

The behaviour (bug) came at some point after 1.0.7 of the integration (that version works)

Looking in the log.
024-12-15 12:39:13.848 DEBUG (SyncWorker_2) [custom_components.danfoss_ally.climate] Setting hvac mode to auto
**-> Seems to be this is changing between Auto and Heat **

And looking below - seems to be that "Auto" translate to in Ally "mode: 'at_home' and "Heat" translates to "mode: manual"

v1.0.7 is an OLD integration, and the API have changed since then - will see what I can do, but not sure I can as I do not have Ally myself, and as such have no access to either app or hardware.

Maybe someone with access to those can make a fix and a PR for this

[jensjakobandersen]

Ah yes, I see, the problem is on the latest release.
The reason I mentioned 1.07 was that it was the version i had run for a long time, since it worked.

[jensjakobandersen]

Workaround - in the scripts controlling the radiator valves, added this in the top for each valve.
