thermostat mode 'manual' missing as option

[Peerke1]

Bug description
thermostat (hc1 in my case) is missing the 'manual' mode

Steps to reproduce
put thermostat in manual mode (on Moduline 400 - press hand icon)
Adjust the heat index (number.thermostat_hc1_selected_room_temperature) in HA
temperature is adjusted and heater starts
adjust temperature on thermostat
heating isn't affected, burner state remains the same
put thermostat in manual mode
adjust temperature once more as previous adjustment is not used
heating is now adjusted to new temperature
(heating either starts or stops depending on the room- and selected temp)

Expected behavior
thermostat should remain in manual mode and accept new temp setting from both HA and manual operation

that's true, we don't have a "Manual" option for any of the thermostats other than the RC100, RC300, RC310. Not sure why. @MichaelDvP ?

[MichaelDvP]

I think because most of the thermostats dont have a manual mode.
Most of the work on Moduline 400 was done by @kwertie01 in #449 and #467. Maybe he knows which modes this thermostat have and can test for the settings.

[Peerke1]

I will also take a look at mentioned issues to see if I can figure something out.

[MichaelDvP]

You can use terminal, watch 10 for the thermostat telegrams and set modes and temperatures that are not working.
Please write which modes this thermostat have, what you have switched and what temperatures you have set to identify the telegrams.
Switching mode should be somewhere in0xA7, temperature setting somewhere in 0x40

[Peerke1]

Did some tests, will look in more detail later today. Just wanted to share the logfile.
I added '# explanation' when I did an action and after the action added the result (also with a #)

Did see this error message when pressing the hand icon:
001+04:32:47.745 N 155: [emsesp] Thermostat(0x10) -W-> Boiler(0x08), UBAFlags(0x35), data: 11 00

With log debug it's very nasty to search only the watch output.
Seems there is a manual temperature set in A7, offset 29 when pressing the manual button, same time offset 28 get's cleared.
I've added manualtemp and tempautotemp to the dashboard, setting manualtemp should switch to manual mode, setting tempautotemp switches back. seltemp chnages the temperature of the current mode.

Try https://github.com/MichaelDvP/EMS-ESP32/releases/tag/latest

Seems the mode filed is not affected, so we can't add it to mode setting.

[Peerke1]

Thanks for the quick addition
I had the log level set to warning and also tried the other levels. Seemed that only the UI took the setting.
What is the command to set the log level on the terminal?

I will give the latest version a try and let you know,.

[Peerke1]

Works as expected.

Takes around 10 - 20 seconds before both values (manualtemp and selected room temp) are equal. Just something to pay attention to when testing.

Do you want/need more logs when pressing buttons doing actions on the Moduline 400?

[MichaelDvP]

I'm thinking how to use the mode command for night/day/auto/manual.
How do you go back from manual mode to normal? is there also a button?
Pressing the manual button only writes tempautotemp 0, seems the manual temp is than set automatically. maybe setting maunaltemp to zero switches back?
Could you check?

• watch 10 and press manual button on thermostat, press (other?) button to go back.
• in normal mode set in emsesp tempautotemp to 0 and check if it switches to manual, what setpoint?
• in manual mode set manualtemp in emsesp to zero and check mode and setpoint.

The seltemp is taken from the reporting telegram from thermostat, show what is really reported. This telegram is send every 10 sec, and thermostat also needs some time to set the new value and report it. This monitor telegram 0x41 is not readable, in the log it is always , so we have to wait until the thermostat send it. I think we should change the readback to the setting telegram.

[Peerke1]

How do you go back from manual mode to normal? is there also a button?
There are 2 buttons for that, a 'auto' and a 'manual' button
When pressing the thermostat goes into 'auto - clock mode' or 'manual'
clock mode uses the T1-T4

The tempautotemp is shown as temperature (oC), its always 0 (as far as I can see)

watch 10 and press manual button on thermostat, press (other?) button to go back.
see log, # comment is added (looks like the debug is off now)

in normal mode set in emsesp tempautotemp to 0 and check if it switches to manual, what setpoint?
its always 0, did it any way. result also logged

in manual mode set manualtemp in emsesp to zero and check mode and setpoint.
was at 16, command send, value remains at 16 and on thermostat the its also 16

thanks for explaining the telegram routine
