Light alwais off

[minatosensei189]

Hi hristo-atanasov. I'm new and I apologize in advance if I post my problem here wrongly. I use your custom components (Tasmota IRHVAC for HA Core 2024.6.0+ v2024.6.3). I have installed on TrueNAS Scale (Dragonfish-24.04.2.1) the HA Core app (2024.9.1). As a remote IR control I use a Athom IR control with tasmota 14.2.0 (release-ir). Everythink works fine except the light. In my configuration.yaml i turned on the voice "default_light_mode" but it remain off. Could i have some suggestion?

I attach my configuration.yaml and irhvac command from my console tasmota

Hi @minatosensei189, any avances in this?
I have an LG AC, this is my yaml config:

- platform: tasmota_irhvac
  name: "Bedroom AC"
  unique_id: 1715824759
  command_topic: "cmnd/ir_remote_bedroom/irhvac"
  state_topic: "tele/ir_remote_bedroom/RESULT"

  power_sensor: sensor.main_bedroom_ac_power #optional - default None
  vendor: "LG2"
  min_temp: 18 #optional - default 16 int value
  max_temp: 32 #optional - default 32 int value
  supported_modes:
    - "cool"
    - "dry"
    - "fan_only" # Use "fan_only" even if Tasmota shows "Mode":"Fan"
    - "auto"
    - "off" #Turns the AC off - Should be in quotes
    # Some devices have "auto" and "fan_only" switched
  supported_fan_speeds:
    - "min"
    - "low"
    - "medium"
    - "high"
    - "max"
    - "auto"

  default_swingv: "highest" #optional - default "" string value
  default_swingh: "" #optional - default "" string value
  keep_mode_when_off: True #optional - default False boolean value : Must be True for MITSUBISHI_AC, ECOCLIM, etc.
  toggle_list: #optional - default []
    # The toggled property is a setting that does not retain the On state.
    # Set this if your AC properties are toggle function.
    #- Beep
    #- Clean
    - Econo
    #- Filter
    - Light
    #- Quiet
    #- Sleep
    #- SwingH
    #- SwingV
    - Turbo
  ignore_off_temp: True #optional - default False boolean value

i have the default_light_mode: "On" #optional - default "Off" string value set on, but the tasmota cmd always send Light: Off:

13:21:25.064 MQT: stat/ir_remote_bedroom/RESULT = {"IRHVAC":{"Vendor":"LG2","Model":"AKB74955603","Command":"Control","Mode":"Cool","Power":"On","Celsius":"On","Temp":24,"FanSpeed":"Max","SwingV":"Lowest","SwingH":"Off","Quiet":"Off","Turbo":"Off","Econo":"Off","Light":"Off","Filter":"Off","Clean":"Off","Beep":"Off","Sleep":-1,"Clock":561,"iFeel":"Off","SensorTemp":null}}

Any help will be appreciated

Just to add to the discussion, i was digging into the climate.py and const.py, to see if i could force my way into keeping the light on. First i removed the Light from the toggle list, since the itens in the list does not retain the On state.

That, and all of the other things i tried did not work.
Here's what i did (to no result, after all):

• changed DEFAULT_CONF_LIGHT (const.py, 93) to "on";
• changed the default light config to vol.Optional(CONF_LIGHT, default="On"): cv.string, (climate.py, 252), overwritting the previous change;
• set self._light (climate.py, 505) to "On" instead of config[CONF_LIGHT].lower();
• At some point i was so lost i even replaced the received payload["Light"].lower() (climate.py, 746) for the state attr to update on HA, but not even that worked - the state attr "light" keeps off;
• And the last - and for me the most misterious so far - is at the send_ir method, when the payload data is populated (climate.py, 1246). I set the attribute forced to "On" instead of the self._light, and yet all the messages sent to the mqtt have the "Light":"Off"

Still not sure if can force somethin in the SERVICE_SCHEMA_LIGHT_MODE (climate.py, 300) area, not sure what to do here.

I honestly have absolutely no idea on what to do next.

Maybe i have even not reloaded properly the integration for these changes to have no effect, which is weird, since after every attempt, i fully restarted HA.

@hristo-atanasov if you could please take a look, it would be of great help 🙏

Thanks again for the integration, even with the struggle i'm having it is phenomenal.

Ok, I'm not sure what happened, but I was wrong. After setting self._light to "on" (climate.py, 1246), the data indeed was correct.
I don't know what is happening, but I kinda fixed it for me by setting self._light = "on" after the payload is ready to go. That will probably affect the state attr in HA, but that's fine for me for now. Now every msg sent will set the light status to on, and it will remain like that. I was able to turn it on and off via the service and everything seems OK.

I'm happy to help with any new test you guys can come up with
