@mkmer - Thanks for looking at an alternate path to fixing this & proposing a solution. Hopefully we’ll find a way, I like the thermostat but really want to get this information about my HVAC system.

It’s mostly selfish, I want to measure run time and it’s currently truncating up to 5 minutes of run time. If you know how to setup a custom_integration, I can share a version that pulls from the PR and you could see if it addresses the issue for you.

checked my RTH8500WF and found that the hvac_action does work however it is very slow to update

this chart shows that the hvac action is updating

btw does anyone happen to know what the “foyer heating” trend is driven by?
