Tado: Cannot control Tado Smart AC Control

See original GitHub issue

The problem

I have a Tado Smart AC Control. I have disabled fallback mode.

Only two buttons on the Tado control in HA work - automatic schedule and power off.

All of the other controls do nothing (and changing the temperature does nothing). I have tested via the app and via my.tado.com. Controlling using these methods works as expected.

While the AC has been switched on using another method using the tado.set_climate_timer also does nothing when trying to change the temperature.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

2021.12.10

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

Not known

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant OS

Thanks everyone for your logs! I will prepare a fix in the coming days, and as soon as we identify what is an expected behavior, I will add tests to the integration or to python-tado to prevent that from breaking again. I will probably try to keep most of the logic in python-tado as I think it’s better to keep the HA integration as lightweight as possible.

Stay tuned!

@fuzzysb thanks for the hint! I guess if /capabilities returns reliably what the API expects (e.g. your DRY mode must not send fanSpeed and/or temperature if I got it correctly), I should be capable of writing a test matrix that covers what should be sent and what should not based on available capabilities.

Do you have any other suggestions/advice to keep in mind while upgrading this integration? Thanks!
