Does not support evap

[bremor]

Need logs from someone who has their system running in evap mode

[aalshaher]

Great work Brendan 👍
Do you still need logs from evap mode?

[bremor]

Yes please!
Can you please use your physical remote to switch from heat -> evap. and then change the evap speed, and then switch back to heat? Also please include the "installation" portion of the logs. Cheers!

Installation:

<myclimate><response>installation</response><appliance><type>heat</type><zoneList>Common</zoneList></appliance><appliance><type>cool</type><zoneList></zoneList></appliance><appliance><type>evap</type><zoneList>Common</zoneList></appliance><zoneName id="Common">Common</zoneName></myclimate>

Evap cooling has few modes:

• Manual (Fan speed between 1 and 7)
• Boost (Fan speed 8)
• Fan
• PumpOnly (Fan speed 0)
• PadClean (not sure what this does - never used this mode)
• Thermo (not sure what this does - never used this mode)

Manual mode turns on the cooling/fan:

<myclimate><post>postzoneinfo</post><system>on</system><type>evap</type><zoneList>Common</zoneList><mode>manual</mode><fanSpeed>5</fanSpeed><roomTemp id="Common">23</roomTemp></myclimate>

Boost mode (once in this mode, you can't change the fan speed from 8):

<myclimate><post>postzoneinfo</post><system>on</system><type>evap</type><zoneList>Common</zoneList><mode>boost</mode><fanSpeed>8</fanSpeed><roomTemp id="Common">23</roomTemp></myclimate>

Fan mode:

<myclimate><post>postzoneinfo</post><system>on</system><type>evap</type><zoneList>Common</zoneList><mode>fan</mode><fanSpeed>1</fanSpeed><roomTemp id="Common">23</roomTemp></myclimate>

Pump only mode:

<myclimate><post>postzoneinfo</post><system>on</system><type>evap</type><zoneList>Common</zoneList><mode>manual</mode><fanSpeed>0</fanSpeed><roomTemp id="Common">23</roomTemp></myclimate>

Please let me know if you need anything else :)

That fantastic. Thermo mode might adjust the fan dynamically based on roomtemp? That is what Thermo does for my heater and AC.

What is "PumpOnly" mode? When would you use it?

[aalshaher]

Doesn’t really ask me to set a temp on thermo mode. Looking at the logs, there is a setPoint and no fan speed.

setPoint seems to be the fan speed (1-7).

I think PumpOnly prepares the system and starts to pump water through until you decide to turn on the fans. I don’t really use it much. I only switch between manual and boost.

[bremor]

Alrighty! I think I have enough info to get started. Thank you.

[aalshaher]

Legend! Thanks Brendan

[bremor]

I have released a beta version, 0.5b, for evap systems. It would be great if you could test it for me.

This is READ ONLY for evap mode, do not attempt to change settings through home assistant, just observe the affect on the front end.
Notes:

• Evap will be represented as 'cool'
• Only 'thermo' evap mode will be supported. Not 'manual', or 'boost'. 'thermo' just seems to be a combination of manual + boost.
• Evap fan speed will be represented as the 'target temperature', min = 1, max = 8.

[aalshaher]

I have tested this today and target temperature is still between 10 to 35 and can’t seem to find fan speed unless I go on fan mode.
Am I doing something wrong?
Should the “target temperate” change to 1-8?

[bremor]

Thanks for testing, did you have the evap mode on "thermo"?
You are correct, it is meant to change target temperature between 1 and 8.
I will release another version with additional debugging info.

[aalshaher]

Yes, I have tried it with Thermo mode

[bremor]

I have release v 1.0.0 which will hopefully play a lot nicer with evap.

Hey friends! I've recently jumped on to help bremor with the maintenance of the integration moving forward.

Most of the open issues are 2+ years old and obviously the information on them is a bit stale.
Can you please provide any update on this issue, giving as much detail as possible?

If this isn't confirmed to still be an issue, it'll be automatically closed in a week or two ❤️
