Screen Display Switch always stays on but unit switches #33
Comments
You know, the screen display function was unreliable because it seems to be forcibly added in by Midea. Not only is the control protocol weird, even the on/off status, some device work fine, some doesn't. Anyway, I'll try to find some better way to implement this. |
Please don't put much effort into this. I can turn it on and off, that is the most important part. The status is not very important. |
Not sure if this should be posted here, but the "Screen Display" switch acts in the way described by the OP, i.e. it only stays OFF for a few seconds and then goes back ON. Devices, however, do not respond to the command to switch the LED display off. The devices I have are: What controls the LED display on the remote is a button called "LED" ( https://ac.inv-static.com/uploads/ac_mini-split/OMNIA%20ECO/Omnia_Eco_RC_manual.pdf ). When pressed, the "LED" button switches the LED display off AND shuts down the "Prompt Tone" from future commands. However, LED display does come on when a new command is issued (e.g. target temperature adjustment) and goes off after a few seconds again without the need to press LED button again. That is how the units behave with the remote. Now, "Prompt Tone" part is working flawlessly - the A/C switches on/off and changes modes without the sound, awesome! However, still very annoying to have the light on at night! :( Is there anything I can provide for you from my devices that can help in figuring out a way to make this function work reliably with my models? Your time is sincerely appreciated, thank you! |
Just noticed the following new (at least on my system) behaviour of the "Display Switch":
So it seems the switch indicates the current mode of the display for my units (Inventor O3MVI32) but does not change it. |

Another thing I noticed:
So "Screen Display" does not track the display of my models but rather their ON/OFF status. |
Thank you very much for your quick work. |
I did notice that the Display Switch in Home Assistant turns back on after a few seconds even though the display stays off.
I noticed that the status update always shows "True" for screen display no matter if it is turned on or off on the device.
Not a big problem, I was just wondering if this is intentional.
