Heatmiser Neo Thermostat doesn't respond to Home App

[IndigoColly]

As per forum comment the thermostat doesn't respond to any set points. The log entry is as follows:

HomeKit Bridge Error Maximum time exceeded while setting the 'TargetTemperature' HomeKit characteristic for 'Sitting Room' (HomeKit device 'Sitting Room'), aborting attempt. This can happen if you try to set a device to a state is is already in (i.e., turning off a device that is already off).
I believe this successfully worked in a previous Beta version.

If it responds to normal thermostat commands then I'm not sure why it would not work. Please use the Advanced Plugin Actions menu option -> Device and select your server then Simulate as an action and that thermostat and post the results of that simulation here.

This should be resolved in the next release. I think you are probably the first user using 'ProgramHeat' or 'ProgramCool' so this was never caught before. You should be able to immediately use this until the next release if you want by changing it instead to just 'Heat' or 'Cool' instead of the program mode - maybe that's why it worked before.

[Colorado4Wheeler]

The latest release should resolve your issue, let me know if it does not.

[IndigoColly]

Excellent work - problem resolved.

[Colorado4Wheeler]

Awesome :).
