Thermostats set to "Off" shows target temperature to -20ºC

[rikhudson]

Any temperature set to "Off" (as part of Auto or Manual schedules shows the target temperature as -20ºC.

Sidenote: Thanks for all the great work on this, excited to see controls come in too! 🤞

You can use a template to amend the -20 value to zero e.g.:-
value_template: >-
{% if is_state_attr('climate.wiser_room','temperature', -20) %}
0
{% else %}
{{state_attr('climate.wiser_room','temperature')}}
{% endif %}

Hey there

Yes this is a known issue.. If the rad is "Off" then I need to send something back , so I send -20.. I did toy with sending "0" back but that would be a valid value...., it might be zero degrees! whereas -20 was far out...

this is done by https://github.com/asantaga/wiserHomeAssistantPlatform/blob/master/climate/wiser.py lines 75.. The rads themselves are set to -3000!!!

You can override the -20 by setting the parameter minimum:
e.g.

wiser:
  host: <ENTER YOUR HEATHUB IP HERE>
  password: <ENTER YOUR SECRET TOKEN, OBTAINED FROM STEP THREE HERE>
  scan_interval: 300
  minimum: -5

Is that ok, or can you think of a better solution?

I looked into sending "Off" but if I do that it screws up the graphs....
Another workaround is not to set the rad to off but to a low value, like -5, which unless the radiator is outside would be the equivalent to off :-)

need to get my act and fix more bugs!! Also working to add this to HA natively as an OOTB feature

@asantaga Ahh I your point about the graphs, very good point! Well… reckon I can work with -20ºC for now. 👍

[asantaga]

@rikhudson , the -20 bit is only important for graphs where you also display the setPoint.. My advice is instead of setting the temperature to "Off" , set it to 5C,.

Also set the minimum in the config file and all should be good?

Is that ok? if so then close the ticket :-)

[rikhudson]

I’ll go with that!

Sure, feel free to close it! :)

Closing issue :-)
