temperatureAboveAsOff not working

[MaestroCollin]

I have set this option to on but the thermostat doesn't turn to off in homekit

[luc-ass]

Did you find a fix?

[MaestroCollin]

Kinda, i found out that it is the current heatingCooling state instead of the target one.

However, I still can't use it in an automation.. any idea why?

[luc-ass]

From what I can see, the state can not be used as a trigger. Neither Home.app nor Eve.app give an option to do that.

[MaestroCollin]

In controller.app you can use it as a trigger for automations. In eve.app too, but it's named to valve, the value can be either open or closed.

[luc-ass]

The valve value actually reflects the valve position. It isn't changed by this plugin. Could you describe your use case? Perhaps we can find something useful to change in the plug-in ;)

[MaestroCollin]

If the current temperature is below the target temperature I want to trigger an automation for my heating panel connected to an smart plug.

[MaestroCollin]

Is it maybe possible to add some kind of switch or toggle exposed to HomeKit?

[georgesdib]

My PR #143 adds the valve position to be exactly that, valve is closed if temperature is below and vice versa. You could then use that as a trigger.

[luc-ass]

@georgesdib's PR is now available as v0.11.0. Could someone test, whether the valve position works as expected?

[5xPa]

I would be more than happy to test. But I am unsure what's required

[luc-ass]

Simply update the plugin in Homebridge. It has been released today.

I have already updated and
Switched the hot water On from Homekit.
Off from Evohome App.
Switched On from app
Switched Off from Homekit
I thought your were requesting %valve position

If you check the valve position in the Eve app, when the target temperature is above current temperature it should show the valve to be open and vice versa. It’s 100% or 0% binary.
The PR had both changes at once.

Seems to be working for me, awesome, thanks!!

I have never used the Eve app to look at radiator Thermostats. Was surprised when it shows a graph of temperatures . For each room except the Living room! didn't know this was available. As tend to use only HomeKit app
I don't see anything showing % valve position

You may need to enable but clicking on Edit on top right and enable valve

Thanks that was what was required
