temperature MODE (heat or cool)

[Hurleyking]

Its not possible turn on AC in mode Heat. I possible add command like this:

command.mode heat
command.mode cool

Thanks, for good joob done

I did not find this flag (yet) in the query, but I'll try to dig for it a bit.

I found if change "def temperature(celsius, mode: 2)" to "def temperature(celsius, mode: 4)" the AC start in mode heat ;)

You have another funciont with translate number to string:

def mode_human
  mode_value = 'unknown'
  mode_value = 'auto' if mode == 1
  mode_value = 'cool' if mode == 2
  mode_value = 'dry' if mode == 3
  mode_value = 'heat' if mode == 4
  mode_value = 'fan' if mode == 5

Oh so it works, just not documented? \o/

[Hurleyking]

work, but in request not have option to select. By default mode is 2, so em set values it possible add
command.mode whit range 1 to 5 and change the value mode in function def temperature.

  def temperature(celsius, mode: 2)
    c = ((mode << 5) & 0xe0) | (celsius & 0xf) | ((celsius << 4) & 0x10)
    @data[0x0c] = c
  end

Perhaps the easiest thing would be to turn on in the last mode. A value can be obtained with a query before switching on.

Ez lenne szerintem a legideálisabb megoldás. :)

I don't know the ruby ​​at all. I managed to solve the change of mode with a hack.
In bin/midea-ac file:
I add a line after method_option :fan_speed, required: false, type: :numeric, aliases: '-f', desc: 'Fan speed'
add: method_option :mode, required: false, type: :numeric, aliases: '-m', desc: 'Mode'
I changed this line: command.temperature(options[:target_temperature]) if options[:target_temperature]
to
if options[:mode] == 2
command.modecool(options[:target_temperature]) if options[:target_temperature]
elsif options[:mode] == 3
command.modedry(options[:target_temperature]) if options[:target_temperature]
elsif options[:mode] == 4
command.modeheat(options[:target_temperature]) if options[:target_temperature]
elsif options[:mode] == 5
command.modefan(options[:target_temperature]) if options[:target_temperature]
else
command.modeauto(options[:target_temperature]) if options[:target_temperature]
end

lib/commands/set.rb
after or instead
def temperature(celsius, mode: 2)
c = ((mode << 5) & 0xe0) | (celsius & 0xf) | ((celsius << 4) & 0x10)
@DaTa[0x0c] = c
end
add
def modeauto(celsius, mode: 1)
c = ((mode << 5) & 0xe0) | (celsius & 0xf) | ((celsius << 4) & 0x10)
@DaTa[0x0c] = c
end

  def modecool(celsius, mode: 2)
    c = ((mode << 5) & 0xe0) | (celsius & 0xf) | ((celsius << 4) & 0x10)
    @data[0x0c] = c
  end

  def modedry(celsius, mode: 3)
    c = ((mode << 5) & 0xe0) | (celsius & 0xf) | ((celsius << 4) & 0x10)
    @data[0x0c] = c
  end

  def modeheat(celsius, mode: 4)
    c = ((mode << 5) & 0xe0) | (celsius & 0xf) | ((celsius << 4) & 0x10)
    @data[0x0c] = c
  end

  def modefan(celsius, mode: 5)
    c = ((mode << 5) & 0xe0) | (celsius & 0xf) | ((celsius << 4) & 0x10)
    @data[0x0c] = c
  end

It works now in command line:
./ruby midea-ac set DEVICE_ID --power=on --target-temperature=25 --mode=4 --fan-speed=50

where
1 - auto
2 - cool
3 - dry
4 - heat
5 - fan

Errors:
The "set" command is also executed in the original code, but returns an error.
The "get" command very often returns an error, in which case there is no response, only error code.

Maybe there may be some time restrictions on commands?

[yitsushi]

Can anyone try the 7-temp-unit branch? [tomorrow I can, but maybe someone can do it before ;)]

Perhaps the easiest thing would be to turn on in the last mode. A value can be obtained with a query before switching on.

It's not an option as devices report back "default" values when they are turned off and not their last known state.

[cyberfly79]

I noticed a very interesting thing.
If the last mode of the climate was drying, the query returns with the following values:
{"status":"off","target":"26","indoor":"21","outdoor":"11","mode":"dry","fan":"101","eco":"off"}
fan: 101 !!!
After the other modes, the good value returns. (max 100) It seems like this value is special in the fan mode.

Returns with the last values (target, mode, fan), not the default.
